Sky Racing World, the Louisville, Kentucky-based distributor of international horse-racing content, has announced the relaunch of its New Zealand racing product.
A subsidiary of Australian wagering operator Tabcorp, the company will begin distributing content from New Zealand Racing Board-operated tracks to North American advance depositing wagering sites ahead of the G1 Karaka Million this weekend.
Content will be distributed to US and Canadian ADWs – including TVG, TwinSpires, Xpressbet, NYRA Bets, WatchandWager, AmWager, and BetAmerica – from tomorrow and nine races will feature in this inaugural race-day run at Pukekohe Park Raceway, near Auckland.
The Pukekohe races will serve to whet the appetite for New Zealand racing ahead of the country’s prestigious Karaka Million race meet at Ellerslie Racecourse on Friday. It features two of New Zealand’s richest races – the G1 NZ$1m (US$730,000) Karaka Million for two-year-olds and the NZ$1m Karaka Million Classic – as well as four other group-status races.
Following the Karaka Million, Sky Racing World will provide North American ADWs with New Zealand racing content from five to six days a week, depending on the racing schedule.
David Haslett, President and CEO of Sky Racing World, said: “Following the launch of our South Korean racing product last July, we’re excited to continue to diversify the international racing content available to our North American ADW partners and, by extension, their customers through our relaunched New Zealand racing product.”
