Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 9, 2019 Journalists Share Posted April 9, 2019 Equibase has installed global positioning satellite systems at Mahoning Valley Race Course and Penn National Race Course and has been named the official timer at both tracks. Equibase also has systems in place and is the official timer at Woodbine Racetrack, Golden Gate Fields, Laurel Park, and Pimlico. “Equibase has sought a viable system of collecting data through automated tracking since the company’s inception, and we are pleased to continue to make progress with TPD,” said Jason Wilson, president and chief operating officer for Equibase. “We are also happy to be partnering with Penn National Gaming to expand the number of tracks utilizing the system.” The benefits of GPS, in addition to timing, include the ability to provide comprehensive data for each runner during the entire running of the race, which can be used to drive on-screen graphics as well as positions and margins for charts. Equibase plans to continue to expand the number of installations over the next year. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
