Horse Racing
Certified precision, in every phase of the race
Professional timing
Introduction
In horse racing, result accuracy, operational continuity, and visual validation are essential elements. Competitions are mainly divided into trotting and gallop races — flat racing, hurdles, and steeplechase — all requiring systems capable of reliably managing every stage of the event, from intermediate split times to the final photo finish.
Microgate solutions, integrated with FinishLynx systems, ensure maximum accuracy in passage detection, automatic calculation of kilometer pace times, and management of different race formats. A technological ecosystem designed to support modern racetracks with professional, intuitive, and fully integrated tools.
Examples of configurations:
flexible and customizable
Microgate systems for horse racing integrate ReiPRO timers, HiSens photocells, and FinishLynx photo-finish systems to guarantee precise detections throughout the entire race course. Configurations can be adapted for trotting, gallop, and obstacle races, automating intermediate timing and kilometer pace calculations with immediate data visualization on racetrack display boards.

Configuration 1
200m Split Time Detection
Intermediate timing is fundamental for technical analysis and kilometer pace calculations. With a ReiPRO timer and HiSens photocells distributed along the course, the system automatically detects the passages of the leading horse and manages split times according to race type and distance.
Configuration 2
Finish Line and Photo Finish
In close finishes, photo-finish precision is essential to certify the official result. A configuration with a primary FinishLynx camera and a mirrored secondary camera allows accurate management even in the most crowded finishes. Network-integrated cameras can be controlled by a single operator, ensuring efficiency, reliability, and professional visual validation.
Configuration 3
Complete Racetrack Installation
For the construction or upgrade of a racetrack facility, Microgate provides complete solutions integrating timing, photo-finish, visualization, and data management. ReiPRO timers, HiSens photocells, MicroGraph LED boards, and broadcasting integration enable coordinated management of the entire event, from timing detection to TV and external data distribution.
