Sports Information Services (SIS), a prominent multi-content supplier of 24/7 live betting services, and Premier Greyhound Racing (PGR), a key media rights company supplying greyhound racing to the betting industry and directly to viewers, have announced an enhanced race time schedule effective from 20 May.
The revised schedule, aimed at safeguarding the future of UK greyhound racing, introduces adjustments to morning fixtures, pushing the start times slightly later from 10.47 to 11.01 and 10.54 to 11.09. Moreover, certain evening fixtures tailored for a retail audience will also commence slightly later, with the first evening event now scheduled to start at 18.08.
PGR offers comprehensive coverage of greyhound events, including action, cards, video replays, results, news, and information on greyhounds.attheraces.com, along with regular live broadcasts on Sky Sports Racing. Premier Greyhound Racing stands as a collaboration between Arena Racing (ARC) and Entain, a global sports betting, gaming, and interactive entertainment group. Together, these entities possess ownership of nine out of the 20 licensed British greyhound tracks, with ARC managing the media rights for five independent tracks.
Commenting on the improved schedule, Terry Mahoney, Head of Business Development at ARC, said: “The new race times will help make it easier for customers to navigate busy racing schedules as well as improving operations trackside. We will continue to listen, monitor, and adapt schedules where and when needed as we move forward to deliver the best service possible for betting operators as well as punters.”
Paul Witten, Managing Director at SIS, added: “We are passionate about delivering a greyhound racing service that benefits all of the sport’s stakeholders. Together with Premier Greyhound Raxing, we have introduced a revised racing schedule that benefits operators and their customers.
“Our approach to greyhound racing is grounded in sustainability and flexibility. This collaboration with fellow service providers allows everyone to enjoy all the high-quality action produced on a daily basis from tracks across the UK and Ireland.”
