Betfair Extends Video Content Agreement With Spotlight Sports Group
World-leading technology, content and media company, Spotlight Sports Group (SSG), has announced the expansion and extension of its agreement with Betfair to produce live watch along video content throughout 2022. The deal focuses on the hugely popular Racing Post Live show which launched in 2020. The broadcast gives live reactions from racing experts as well as exchange prices and tipping throughout the day’s racing.
The partnership will now cover key races every Saturday throughout 2022, alongside all major UK and Ireland racing festivals, including Cheltenham, the Grand National and Royal Ascot.
The live show, hosted by Racing Post’s Dave Orton, has become a stalwart for horseracing fans – bringing them closer to the action with insider knowledge, top tips and expert opinion. Broadcast live on the Racing Post YouTube and Facebook platforms – Orton is regularly joined by a host of special guests including Kate Tracey, Ross Brieley, Nat Green and Charlie Poste.
The deepening of the video partnership also includes new market-leading graphics that provide up to the second data from the Betfair Exchange – allowing viewers to react in real-time.
