August 31, 2020 – Equine Info Exchange always has a keen eye for discovering tech that helps the horse industry. We’re pleased to introduce “The Rundown – Racehorse and Race Stable Management” app. This app is truly cutting edge. It’s an excellent tool for managing your racing stables. They call it “A new way of keeping track”.
Chelsea Dexter is the creator of The Rundown and has been obsessed with racehorses since she was a young girl. In her early twenties, Chelsea would walk around the backside of the track to ask trainers and grooms if any of the horses needed a new career. She got her current horse that way and has also bought, retrained, and found new homes for a few others. Chelsea graduated from Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and a minor in Equine Science.
Chelsea’s doctor shares her love of horse racing, so she was absolutely floored when he told her that one of his racehorses had died three weeks ago and he had just found out. She knew that she had to do something. She came up with the idea for The Rundown and got to work. The past 1 1/2 years of Chelsea's life have been dedicated to The Rundown.
“The race world is much different compared to performance horses,” Chelsea explained. “The race world has non-horse people and horse people. The Rundown is trying to fix the communication aspect in that industry.” In addition to healing the communication headache, Chelsea aims for The Rundown to usher a new-generation into horse racing, a generation that is used to getting all the information they need in just a moment’s notice.
For Trainers
The Rundown App will help manage the trainer’ day to day essentials from assigning tasks to employees to sending/receiving invoices from owners to alerting owners how their investments are doing. Eliminating getting hold of owners and tracking down employees.
For Owners
The Rundown App allows for the owners to stay in the know with their investments. Tracking if your horse will be in the next race, pedigree, health and eliminate the check in mail payment to the trainer all at their fingertips.
For Stables
The Rundown App eliminates the white board. Leaving the stable employees accountable. Allowing the trainers to see which tasks were completed and which still need to be done.
In this world of emerging technology, we're excited to learn about this valuable tool for our equestrian community. You can find The Rundown App in our section on Mobile Apps – Management Tools.
