The Media and International business of Arena Racing Company group leads the delivery of media and betting rights to domestic and international bookmakers.
Arena Racing Company is a shareholder in Sky Sports Racing, which broadcasts live domestic and overseas action to millions of homes across the UK and Ireland, along with streaming integrations with over 50 bookmakers to deliver horse and greyhound racing content to their websites.
The Arena group also operates The Racing Partnership, which broadcasts UK and international racing to the retail bookmaking sector and while it also owns international betting media and distribution business Vermantia.
The Arena group horse racing portfolio includes 16 wholly owned racetracks. In addition, ARC manages the media rights for eight further tracks including Ascot, Bangor, Chester, Hexham, Newbury, Newton Abbot, Plumpton, and Ripon.
Arena owns five greyhound tracks (Central Park, Nottingham, Perry Barr, Newcastle and Sunderland) and from January 2024 it launched Premier Greyhound Racing, meaning that ARC now represents 14 UK greyhound tracks in their local and global distribution.
Through media agreements with international partners such as Tabcorp for Australian horse and greyhound racing; the PMU for French horse racing; Gold Circle for South African horse racing; and the 1/ST Group for US horse racing, Arena also delivers this content to UK and European bookmakers. From January 2024, Arena renewed its partnership with Racecourse Media Group (GBI racing) to deliver all of UK horse racing to international customers.
ARC is also involved with UK racecourse wagering company Britbet, international wagering and totalisator company i-Neda and Racecourse Data Company, which controls and licences Pre-Race Data.
