Japan embracing the latest technologies

Embracing and employing the newest technology is to the Japanese what barbecues in summer are to Australians – it’s ingrained in their cultural DNA.

And master trainer Noriyuki Hori didn’t reach the top by letting the grass grow under his feet so it’s no surprise to see him using leading edge technology to take his leading Audemars Piguet Queen Elizabeth II Cup aspirant, Neorealism, to the next level.

“Google Glass” may have hit a few hurdles when it was trialled for human beings but meet the version that is upgrading how Japanese trainers handle the individual training needs of their horses.


Neorealism’s regular work rider, Shinjiro Kaneko, wears what appears to be a very slick and sporty set of goggles when he takes Neorealism out for his light work on the Sha Tin all-weather track but this is not just satisfying the Japanese taste for pop fashion.

Excellent that the jockey can get an idea of the fractional times as well as the heart rate in real time. Useful. Very interesting for the trainer to see how the horse is taking its work and relating it to the pace, rather than just going by the work riders "feel".
In a few years will likely be standard data for race days in the " progressive " countries .

This takes training to a whole new level
