Computer-vision race adjudication and horse-condition review
Korea Racing Authority said AI reduced horse-condition analysis from 8 hours to within 5 minutes
Problem
Race stewards manually reviewed horse condition and race incidents. The authority said this analysis previously took 8 hours.
Approach
The authority introduced new systems from November 2024 through partnerships with startups. Its AI adjudication system counted jockey whip strokes from race footage. Other AI analysis checked horse posture and gait. The authority supplied footage, data and feedback during development.
Results
Takeaway
The reported time saving covered analysis work supporting stewards. It did not establish the accuracy of every race decision.
