Arena Racing Company (“ARC”) today confirms the appointment of Pythia Sports as exclusive collector and distributor of data for the Premier Greyhound Racing (“PGR”) service.
Pythia Sports will take over the service as of 1 December, 2026, with integrations for operators ongoing. A number of integrations are already complete, with those operators seeing the benefits of Pythia Sports’ enhanced distribution service. It is expected that integration for the rest of the market will be complete ahead of the switchover date.
Examples of the enhanced service offered by Pythia Sports include a new, updated and more efficient data collection system, as well as an automated pricing function which will increase accuracy, as well as offering operators bespoke options with regards to release times and pricing settings.
Operators will also benefit from a full suite of derivative market bet types and a new Greyhound bet builder product. The service will also contain an enhanced data and content package that will include runner comments, race verdicts, star ratings, pace maps and more, all of which can be accessed at no additional cost to the operator via direct integration into Pythia Sports’ API.
ARC Director of Media Technology and Production, Mark Kingston, said, “We are delighted to announce this partnership with Pythia Sports for our Premier Greyhound Racing service. We hope that the enhancements that Pythia Sports are able to offer in their collection and distribution will be of benefit to bookmakers and greyhound punters alike in terms of offering engaging information and more accurate pricing across Premier Greyhound Racing associated stadia.”
Freddy Galliers, Director of Pythia Sports, said, “Pythia Sports is delighted to have been appointed by ARC as exclusive data collection and distribution partner for Premier Greyhound Racing. Pythia’s goal is to keep innovating and evolving traditional racing products, and we are excited to bring that approach to the PGR service. We look forward to launching new products that enhance the service for operators and help make greyhound racing more engaging for customers.”
