On September 4, 2026, Racecourse Media Group (RMG), in partnership with sports data and analytics company Ellipse, was shortlisted for the 2026 SportPro Media Awards in the ‘Best Use of Data in Media’ category, recognizing RaceiQ’s impact on horse racing broadcasting. Earlier, on August 17, 2026, GBI Racing, a partnership between Arena Racing Company and RMG, secured a deal to provide live data and pictures from over 80 British and Irish racecourses to Betuft, Palermo Racecourse’s online betting platform. Previously, on July 2, 2026, the Coral Welsh Grand National at Chepstow moved to December 28 as part of Christmas fixture changes, while the Ladbrokes Christmas Festival at Kempton Park maintained its established December 26 and 27 dates, headlined by the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase. This followed RMG’s announcement on June 4, 2026, that it delivered record payments of £118.4 million to its shareholder racecourses for their 2025 media and data rights, reversing two years of declines despite betting turnover pressures and regulatory interventions.
