Trainer Chris Waller
A new automated platform created in Australia has taken racehorse care and management to the next level, according to
horsetalk. The product is currently only being used in Australia and champion trainer Chris Waller said it has changed how he runs his stable.
StableWizard is an app that was created by Segenhoe Stud chairman Kevin Maloney. The system is cloud-based and gives trainers and stable staff instant access to all details of the horses in their care. The app is accessible via smartphone or tablet and transfers general horse management information such as temperature, feed checks, and treatment plans onto a dashboard for trainers, stable staff, or service providers to view at any time or location.

StableWizard’s founders say the new system will modernise equine management.
Racehorse care and management has galloped into the 21st century with a new automated platform created in Australia.
StableWizard is the brainchild of Segenhoe Stud chairman Kevin Maloney, and it has the backing of Australia’s leading trainer Chris Waller, who helped with the development of the system over a two-year period. He says he would never go back to the “old ways” of equine management.
Maloney describes the system as “like the transformation from horse and cart to the automobile for this industry.”

“What’s the latest?” read the text that popped up on Nir Meir’s phone one Thursday afternoon in July. “Running out of time.”
The message to the HFZ Capital Group managing principal was from Adam Gibbons, an executive at CIM Group. The lender was awaiting an overdue payment on $90 million of mezzanine debt it holds on four prewar Manhattan apartment buildings HFZ is converting to condominiums.
“On it,” Meir wrote back. “2 min.”
Four hours later, a reference number popped up on Gibbons’ phone. It seemed the $2.3 million HFZ owed had been wired.
