SIS is to extendsits greyhound service with additional races, to temporarily replace the British horse racing fixtures that were suspended by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) from 17th March following the COVID-19 outbreak.
The rescheduled service has been crafted to offer more racing at peak retail times, and from Monday 23rd March there will be a revised SIS greyhound schedule in operation (Monday-Friday).
There will be an increase of 54 races to 532 per week and a repositioning of fixtures to optimise events in the 12pm-5pm slot from all of SIS’s British and Irish tracks.
Paul Witten, Product Director at SIS, said: “Our revised channels schedule means that we can now provide our bookmaker customers with a live greyhound race every six minutes, compared to ten minutes previously. British and Irish greyhound racing remains open for business and our online and retail customers will appreciate the increase in race frequency.
“SIS is putting this additional content into the market at zero profit, as part of our commitment to support our bookmaker customers in these difficult times.”

MEDIA PROVIDERS GO DORMANT....
TAKEN FROM THE GREYHOUND STAR — MARCH 27, 2020
Media providers SIS and ARC have both gone into ‘hibernation’ for the duration of the Coronavirus outbreak.
An SIS statemet announced that it has closed down all non-essential services and given leave of absence to its staff.
Richard Ames, CEO of SIS, said: “SIS is moving into an interim period of hibernation in these extraordinary times. I am pleased to be able to confirm that our intention is to come back just as strongly as before and to be back up and running to serve the needs of our customers as soon as live racing content returns to action.
“We are taking this action to protect the business and to preserve the jobs of our hard-working team. I thank each of them for their fantastic commitment to continuing to service our content partners and customers throughout the last challenging weeks and look forward to welcoming them back into the business as soon as possible.”
Meanwhile ARC’s Head of Business Development Terry Mahoney announced that he would “be spending time away from ARC/TRP” with immediate effect.
He asks that should anyone have: “any questions or queries that need a resolution or a response, then they will be dealt with/forwarded onto the best placed person within the business, again, for the immediate future until you are advised otherwise.”
