SECTIONAL data time is now available for all Tabcorp Park Menangle meetings just in time for the Sky Racing Carnival of Miracles.
Dedicated Sky Channel viewers would have noticed the sectional data in operation at Menangle’s Hondo Grattan Stakes meeting last Saturday night.
The information on screen details sectional times, individual horse times, top speed and racing positions.
It has been a project of Harness Racing New South Wales for some time according to HRNSW Chief Executive John Dumesny.
“We commenced this project with our partners the Tabcorp and Sky in 2019 to the extent sectional times were displayed on Miracle Mile Carnival night in 2020,” said Dumesny.
“As we know Covid-19 hit shortly thereafter which caused a myriad of disruptions but now we have launched.”
The sectional data information will also be available post meetings on www.hrnsw.com.au shortly.
From March, the sectional data time will also operational at Penrith.
