One permanent, portable identifier for every racehorse on the planet — across every country, every registry, every era. 967,150 races. 3.3 million results. No more lost identities when horses cross borders.
The Problem
A horse born in Ireland, trained in France, and raced in Turkey carries three separate IDs in three disconnected databases.
Pedigree researchers lose lineage threads. Analytics platforms can't track international careers. Import/export paperwork multiplies.
GHN solves this with a single, permanent, open-standard number — assigned once, recognized everywhere.

Real Data · Live Examples
Every horse in the GHN system falls into one of three categories. Each tells a story about where horse racing data lives — and where it's missing.
Same horse confirmed in multiple source databases. GHN is the bridge that unifies them.
Horses with extensive Turkish racing careers — not yet linked to any international database. GHN preserves their identity for future cross-referencing.
Horses from India, USA, UK and other countries tracked in international databases — not yet racing in Turkey. GHN assigned and ready.
Global Coverage
GHN currently spans horses from 20+ racing nations, with Turkey having the deepest coverage due to TJK's comprehensive historical records dating back over a century.
Data Provenance
GHN pulls from official and leading racing databases across 6+ countries. Each source is normalized into a common schema, unifying horses, races, results, jockeys, trainers, and tracks under one standard.
