One calendar

Every upcoming NZ meeting for the next three months, synced from official racing data.

Verified riders

Only verified jockeys appear publicly, with current weight and apprentice claim beside their name.

Bookings in writing

Ride requests, acceptances and assignments live in one record, not across ten text threads.

Who it's for

Every part of the stable, on the same page

Racing runs on relationships and timing. JockeyFinder keeps both intact while removing the guesswork.

Race days

From calendar to confirmed ride

The public meetings page is open to everyone. The booking tools sit behind verified accounts.

1

The calendar fills itself

Upcoming NZ race meetings sync automatically from official LoveRacing and NZTR data, three months ahead.

2

Jockeys mark attendance

Riders tap the meetings they are heading to. Their declared weight and claim are saved with each entry.

Trainers book with confidence

Trainers see exactly who is riding where, send ride requests, and lock in bookings without the phone tag.

Trust built in

Verification before visibility

A booking platform only works if everyone on it is who they say they are.

  • JJockeys are approved individually before they appear publicly or can request rides.
  • TTrainers are auto-approved when their phone number matches the NZTR registry.
  • AAgents are always manually reviewed, even with a registry match.

Messaging where the booking lives

A chat opens automatically when a ride is assigned

Got it. I'll be on course by 11. See you at the birdcage.
Owner's joining this chat so everyone has the plan.
