German Tote has signed a deal with Total Performance Data (TPD).
As a live horseracing data provider, TPD covers race tracking and data monetisation across horseracing events, including all 19 thoroughbred and harness tracks in Germany.
These will start in late March at the Rennbahn Hoppegarten course in Berlin at the launch of the Turf season.
The deal will also cover races such as the Deutsches Derby and the Grosser Preis von Berlin.
Riko Luiking, German Tote Managing Director, said: “After a careful review and trials of different systems, like many others, we chose TPD.
“They have a great system, significant experience and represent value for money.
“We have also been impressed with their hardware partner, GMax, who are already underway and expecting to have all 19 racecourses live by August.”
TPD will be responsible for providing data feeds and odds, which will be displayed to German Tote customers using live graphics.
Will Duff Gordon, TPD CEO, said: “We’re so pleased to welcome German Tote and German racing after over a year of work between both teams.
“It’s important to produce in-race performance metrics to boost interest in German horseracing, especially their Classics, with breeders, punters and horsemen ready to act on the content.
“On the back of our recent merger with TripleSData, it’s great to keep up the momentum as we surpass 120 worldwide racecourses.”
