New service nominated for prestigious 2021 Sports Technology Awards.

For the first time, live, in-race timing information will be broadcast on-screen and published online for the Cheltenham Festival next week – thanks to Racecourse Media Group’s (RMG) new award-nominated tracking service.

Working with RMG’s timing information partner, Coursetrack, information such as race clock, leader’s speed, leader’s time per furlong and distance to finish, will be displayed on Racing TV for all 28 races from Prestbury Park. In addition, sectional time reports for each race will be published in the results section on racingtv.com/results the day after racing.

Lindsay Davidson, Deputy Director of Broadcast at RMG, who oversees the on-screen output, said: “The timing data, which will be presented via our on-screen graphics, are a godsend for real-time insight and post-race analysis. We believe timing information will enhance the viewing experience for everyone watching the Festival on Racing TV, as well as proving a valuable punting aid.

“Racing TV is fortunate to be able to call on the likes of Angus McNae, Richard Hoiles and James Willoughby, who can dissect the data and present it in an easy-to-interpret format. And James will be providing his insight across all four days of the Festival, which will add a different slant to the analysis both on-screen and on-line.”

RMG’s Director of Racing, Ed Gretton, who has been leading the project, added: “We have been working extremely closely with Coursetrack and conducted rigorous testing of the system on our courses, which has given us real confidence in the product. We firmly believe this data will enhance the enjoyment of races and be used as a valuable tool for analysing a race and for in-running betting.”

Timing information is now being broadcast on-screen and published online for every RMG fixture. In time, as viewers’ understanding of the product develops, enhanced on-screen graphics, including horses’ in-race placings / changing odds, will be implemented. The service has already been nominated for the prestigious 2021 Sports Technology Awards.

Bookmakers, who are Watch & Bet customers, will, in due course, be provided with access to the in-play data and RMG will also work with betting operators to support the further development of in-play betting on racing this year.

Dave Tharp, Managing Director of Coursetrack, commented: “We are delighted to be working with RMG on this exciting project and look forward to delivering our latest GPS technology to all the stakeholders both on and off course throughout the country.”

The introduction of the in-race timing output comes on the back of the launch of Racing TV’s new virtual studio last month, plus the addition of on-course presenters, information graphics and dedicated streams from EVERY fixture, introduced on Racing TV Extra and RMG’s Watch & Bet streaming betting partners last year.

Adam Binns, Director of Broadcast and Production at RMG, said: “Racing TV is always striving to take the broadcasting of horseracing to the next level, which, as well as greatly enhancing the viewer experience, drives real benefits to the sport and significantly grow its value.”

SBC Summit Tbilisi Conference Agenda Maps Path to Growth in Eastern Europe & Central Asia

Reading Time: 2 minutes

This October, SBC Summit Tbilisi 2025 returns to Georgia with an enhanced conference agenda that connects the industry to the expertise and insights of local Eastern European and Central Asian leaders, helping delegates succeed in these markets.

Co-hosted with SMH Global, a Georgia-based company at the crossroads of sports, media, and iGaming, the summit will once again take place at the Sheraton Grand Tbilisi Metechi Palace on 15–16 October.

With over 50 speakers, the two-day agenda will cover local marketing, regulatory hurdles, and talent development, offering delegates the expertise needed to build stronger operations in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Commenting on this year’s conference agenda, Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC, said: “We’ve worked closely with SMH and a group of local experts who really understand the region to shape this agenda. They know how to connect with Eastern European players, why crypto has taken off in gaming here, and how sports icons influence the way fans engage. It’s their stories and expertise that make the program in Tbilisi so valuable.”

Day One will dig into the realities of entering and growing in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Panels will explore what it really takes to win over players from a marketing perspective, while others will examine how operators can navigate multi-jurisdictional compliance, balancing taxation, GDPR, and responsible gambling rules without losing efficiency.

Beyond regulation, discussions will look at how traditional casinos are reinventing themselves, from integrating digital products to keeping pace with changing player expectations. The day will conclude with a candid discussion on the rise of cryptocurrency in iGaming, asking whether it is truly a game-changer for payments and trust or a risk that requires careful management.

Day Two will turn the spotlight to sports and player engagement. Panels will unpack how athletes and sports icons influence fan communities, shape responsible play, and build brand trust, with case studies of successful collaborations between gaming brands and top stars. Discussions will then move into the rise of esports and fantasy sports, asking whether these interactive formats are the key to winning over younger, more skill-driven audiences.

Experts will also dig into gamification, from leaderboards and missions to loyalty programmes, and debate which mechanics truly keep players engaged long term. Later in the day, attention will shift to the region’s growing reputation as a talent hub, with speakers sharing how companies are recruiting and retaining top tech and product talent from Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, and beyond. The program will close on the power of sport itself, exploring how major events like the World Cup and Olympics fuel massive betting activity, and how sponsorships are reshaping the global sports economy.

Looking ahead to this year’s summit, Sojmark added: “For me, the real value of this agenda is its practicality. Delegates will leave with ideas they can put into practice across Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Just as importantly, it’s about looking ahead, thinking about the region’s future role in the industry and how businesses can start preparing for it today.”
