BETTER AWARENESS.IN DEVELOPMENT
Care begins with
being informed.
Behind every race is a team that cares. We’re developing Equine Smart Cup to support that team with a practical approach to preliminary equine urine screening.
Our focus is a simple cup format for trainers and horse connections. The product is currently in development; performance, instructions and availability will be confirmed following validation.

Together in Module 1.
The planned Module 1 substance list.
Detection capability and cut-offs remain subject to validation.
Practical screening.
Race-relevant targets.
Product specifications below are development targets from our concept poster, pending equine-urine validation.
Designed for easy use without laboratory equipment.
Developed for preliminary screening before competition.
Race-relevant screening cut-offs
Our development goal is race-relevant screening cut-offs informed by international racing regulations, including applicable IFHA guidance and the rules of each racing jurisdiction. Final assay cut-offs will be published after validation.
There is no single universal racing cut-off for every substance. Laboratory screening limits and regulatory thresholds serve different purposes; a negative cup result does not establish racing eligibility.

Understanding the result
Control and test lines appear. The target is below the test cut-off; this does not mean the sample contains no substance.
Control line only. Confirm the finding with an accredited laboratory.
No control line, whether or not a test line appears. Repeat with a new cup.
Illustrative competitive-test interpretation. Use the final product instructions and reading window. For preliminary screening and training use only; not for regulatory or official testing.

Confirmation is a separate one.
A screening result is not a guarantee of competition eligibility. Smart Cup is being developed as a trainer-led screening tool, alongside professional advice and applicable racing rules.
