TECHNOLOGY ENHANCEMENTS AT ALL FOUR ENTAIN TRACKS

Ian Smyth, Director of Stadia at Entain, today confirmed details of technology enhancements planned at his four tracks in the coming months.
He said: “We’re delighted to have completed the roll out of new photo finish equipment into all four of our tracks. We installed new equipment from Timetronics at Hove a year ago and the improvement in the quality of image was huge. We resolved at that stage to extend the roll out to our other tracks and have had those works completed over the last week.

“The existing image quality just wasn’t good enough and somewhat embarrassing to see photo finishes looking like the nose of the winner had been chopped off.

“You can see from the new image compared to samples of old photo finishes how much clearer & cleaner the photo finish is. We also need to be better at displaying those images quickly and I’ll be working with racing offices and social media teams to do that in the coming weeks.

“In addition to the photo finish installations we are also upgrading our scoreboard equipment at all four tracks before the end of the year. The new technology which is 2.5 mtrs wide x 2 mtr high will allow us to display race replays, photo finish images as well as times and distances.

“Finally after a long winded review process we’re delighted to announce that we commence work shortly to move the camera position at Romford.

“Initial advice was that the present position would be the best location for the camera but with regular feedback to the contrary & some tests carried out by ourselves in conjunction with SIS it is clear that the judges box area offers a far better viewing position.

“Everybody that has viewed the tests from the new position is in agreement that it is a vast improvement on the present location though while improving the delivery of pictures there will remain some obstacles given that the traps and floodlights are in fixed locations around the track.

“We have a number of health & safety requirements to overcome while we make adjustments to the judges box but intend to start work in early July with a target to have fully transitioned over before the month end.

The A&S Leisure Group have announced a massive £400,000 track refurbishment scheme at Sheffield. In effect, it amounts to complete track replacement, from a new running rail, with improvements to sand profiles, drainage and equipment – writes Floyd Amphlett.

Venue Director Matthew Hamilton said: “The safety and welfare of the greyhounds are always at the forefront of our vision at the stadium. Owlerton prides itself on being one of the best in the industry for quality and hospitality. The upcoming renovations will mirror these values and pave the way for the future of racing. We anticipate that the major investment to Yorkshire’s premier greyhound track will encourage the support of visitors new and old’.

The stadium will be closed for a short period from the 25th of July 2022 through to the 1st of August 2022, before a grand reopening on the 2nd of August.

Racing Manager Andrew Mascarenhas said: “There has been plenty of work done on the track over the years but it has been piecemeal, mainly concentrating on the first and second bends. But we haven’t been happy with the consistency of the circuit overall so this should make a massive difference.

“I anticipate that as soon as this announcement gets out, the first thought will be ‘what about the Gain Three Steps To Victory?’ (due to conclude August 9). We’ve decided to put it back. There is no way did I want unfamilar dogs running on the circuit until we know it has settled down and where we stand with issues like watering.

“So I have applied to GBGB to move it to three Saturdays in September. We are just waiting for their approval. We already have the Steel City Cup and our new puppy competition in October and we don’t want three Cat Ones in the same month.”
