British Racing Sectional Times Database Created Through Industry Collaboration

A section timing database from all 59 British racecourses is now available for racing fans and punters, Racecourse Media Group (RMG) announced on Tuesday.

Tracking data provided by Coursetrack for 35 RMG racecourses and Total Performance Data (TPD), which covers 24 Arena Racing Company (ARC) and independent racecourses, has been combined into a single database for sectional times from all British races. Under the new joint-agreement between RMG, ARC, TPD and At The Races (ATR), TPD will exclusively license the complete British database to end users via a feed of non-live coordinate data and sectional times. The creation of the new joint database means that all sectional times are available on racingtv.com and attheraces.com. In addition, race fans can purchase tracking data for all UK races from TPD's website.

RMG CEO, Martin Stevenson, said. “Timing data can revolutionise how we look at horseracing and, by collaborating with ARC, ATR and TPD, we are delighted to create a new easy-to-navigate database with data from all British racecourses. It means race fans and punters will have all this valuable data at their fingertips in the one place.”
