Australian racing will start the day at 4am followed by the normal mix of local and international racing with races from the USA filling the late-night slots.
“Obviously the 4am to 12.30am schedule is dependent on the availability of suitably international product and inevitably there will be days when there is simply insufficient product to fill the schedule,” said Phumelela Betting Executive Vee Moodley.
TAB is looking to expand the live racing timeframe from 4am to 2am the following day, but is still in the process of sourcing suitable international product in order to provide betting opportunities 22 hours daily.
TAB will only operate commingled tote pools from 10pm to 10am in order to ensure customers are betting into pools with critical mass. In addition to the live racing picture, Tellytrack will provide when available advice and tips from form experts in the relevant countries, as well as race predictors.
From 10am to 10pm TAB will continue to operate a combination of local and commingled pools.
Fields and tips for all race meetings on which TAB operates betting pools will be available on www.tabonline.co.za and Gold Circle’s www.tabgold.co.za websites.
“It’s an exciting step forward and the aim is to try and provide customers with betting opportunities and related live TV coverage whenever they may feel like betting,” said Tellytrack CEO Rob Scott.
