There is no cost for a racetrack to participate in the EID.

4 The Equine Injury Database is a module of InCompass’ Race Track Operations Software (“RTO”) program which is in place at most racetracks in the United States and Canada. This allows the injury reports to be tied to race information via Equibase data and horse and pedigree information via The Jockey Club. For more information on RTO, please visit www.incompass-solutions.com or call 800-625-4664. www.incompass-solutions.com Equine Injury Database
