The Racing Partnership announces new betting partners

Racing Partnership (TRP), a broadcasting venture launched this month by a partnership of Arena Racing Company and seven independent racecourses, has confirmed a number of new betting partners.

Operators including Boylesports, Sean Graham, Bar One, Track Sports, Bambury, Fox’s and Mulholland’s are among those to have signed up to TRP services.

In addition to these Irish operators, East Midlands-based Mark Jarvis has signed up its 57 shops to TRP, taking the number of betting shops in the UK and Ireland signed up to TRP to over 900.

TRP will offer coverage of around 650 fixtures from UK racecourses every year, while it will also cover all South African racing.

Managing Director of Mark Jarvis, David Cox, said: “Naturally we have thought over the matter very carefully, and at the end of the day, it comes down to the fact that TRP content is essential for us.

“This is particularly the case from 1 January 2017 when six key racecourses move from SIS to TRP, including Lingfield Park, Wolverhampton and Southwell.”

Director of TRP, Mark Kingston, said: “It is great news to have signed up a large number of independent licensed betting offices in Ireland and the UK in the same week that the channel successfully went on air.

“This creates real momentum for TRP.”
