THE future of racing, breeding and equestrian sport will gallop into focus this September with a groundbreaking conference at Naas Racecourse exploring artificial intelligence and data analytics in the equine sector.

Taking place on Tuesday, September 9th, the event promises to bring together leading minds, innovators and stakeholders to examine how AI is transforming every corner of the industry. The conference is being organised by The Irish Field and the title sponsor is telecoms company Circet.

Backed by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine under the Equine Technical Support Scheme, the one-day event will explore timely questions such as:

  • Can AI and data analytics prevent injuries in horses?
  • Who is using AI in breeding and training programmes?
  • How can AI enhance welfare, performance, and business decisions?

    • Attendees can expect lively panel discussions and expert insights on how AI is already improving performance, reshaping training methods, and identifying promising bloodstock more accurately.

    The event will also address the potential of AI to replace or create jobs in the sector, and offer guidance on how equine businesses can harness AI for competitive advantage. With growing interest in data-driven approaches across the global racing and sport horse scenes, this conference is set to become a must-attend event for breeders, trainers, vets, analysts, and entrepreneurs alike.
