Ascot and Racetech extend partnership

RaceTech and Ascot Racecourse have renewed their long-term partnership covering an extensive range of services at the world-famous Berkshire course.

The new agreement, which starts immediately, will see RaceTech continue to provide full outside broadcast facilities, integrity coverage, in-house programming and other essential racecourse services such as photo finish, race timing and the starting stalls operation.

The extension, which flows through to 2027, also encompasses RaceTech’s provision of additional OB resource to produce separate upgraded Ascot broadcast productions for fixtures including the five-day Royal Ascot meeting in June.

John Bozza, RaceTech CEO, said: “We are extremely pleased to have secured this recent extension with Ascot Racecourse and everyone at RaceTech is proud of the excellent relationship we have developed, having worked together for many years.

“We look forward to supporting this next contract cycle and building on our reputation as the technical service provider of choice for UK racing with innovation very much at the forefront.”

Felicity Barnard, commercial director and deputy CEO, Ascot Racecourse, said: “RaceTech have been, are and will continue to be a key partner in bringing Ascot programming to millions around the world. We are delighted to renew and extend our long-term partnership and look forward to collectively bringing industry leading broadcasts to our global audience.”
