Racegoers to experience TPD’s in-running graphics at QIPCO British Champions Day
Spectators at Britain’s most valuable raceday, QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot, will be among the first to see Total Performance Data’s (TPD) in-running graphics on-course.
On the back of Sky Sports Racing’s display of the full running order during the William Hill Racing League as well as at a couple of recent Ascot racedays, QIPCO British Champions Day is the latest meeting where racegoers will witness TPD’s in-running graphics in action.
TPD’s graphics engine has been enriching live US racing pictures for some time and is launching in the UK at Ascot. The graphics represent data from the Longines Timing System which is one of the most sophisticated systems in the world and has been in place at Ascot since 2019.
The TPD in-running graphics will translate the Longines Timing System data into a live running order of the first 10 horses, the speed of the leader, the most recent three split times relative to average speeds and a distance countdown. The graphics will be shown across the racecourse on Ascot TV, including the big screens, to boost the racing engagement for those in attendance for the stellar six-race card, worth £4million, and featuring four Group 1s as well as Europe’s richest handicap, with punters able to see exactly where their horse is racing on the big screen.
Will Duff Gordon, CEO of Total Performance Data, said: “We’ve been very happy with how our in-running graphics have been received throughout the Racing League as well as at a handful of meetings at Ascot and we’re pleased to take it a step further at QIPCO British Champions Day this month.
“It’s fantastic that Ascot will be using our on-course graphics technology on a permanent basis and with the likes of QIPCO British Champions Day, Royal Ascot and other big meetings taking place there throughout the year, thousands of racegoers will witness the technology first-hand, which will hopefully enhance their raceday betting experience.”

Neosurf & Betting Hero to reveal results of their in-depth study into US online gambling and payment habits in exclusive two-part webinar series
Neosurf, the globally trusted provider of swift and secure cash-to-digital payment solutions, has announced it will be sharing the findings of a recent study into the online betting habits, preferences and frustrations of US players in an exclusive two-part webinar series beginning on January 14th.
Neosurf commissioned the research via Betting Hero – a leading US-based iGaming portal with expertise in casino, sports betting and DFS. The webinars will see Neosurf CEO Americas, Sue Page, Betting Hero’s Co-Founder and President, Jai Maw, and Senior Director of Product and Research, Ernie Ropas, dive into the report’s key findings and discuss what some of the more surprising results could mean for operators.
The survey, which featured respondents from New Jersey, Colorado and North Carolina, aimed to help operators and regulators within the gambling industry better understand the typical US bettor – how and why they bet, what tools they use to manage their budget and what Responsible Gaming means to them. The findings will be revealed in the webinars and used to identify areas where Neosurf’s products can help operators provide a better user experience.
The research highlighted several aspects of payments and responsible gaming that bettors felt could be improved. Problems with payments remain an issue – 52% of respondents said that they’d experienced payment issues in the past year, and with over 50% depositing and withdrawing multiple times each month, there is a significant cost impact to the operators.
Additionally, respondents indicated they’d be in favour of using a service that could share pre-verified ID information with operators, with ease of use for new payment methods and seamless integration across multiple platforms identified as important factors in their choosing and remaining loyal to a single sports betting platform.
Sue Page, Neosurf CEO Americas, said: “It was important to us to gain a more detailed insight into the US sports bettor. We wanted to talk to the players and ask questions that no one else is asking, and through our collaboration with Betting Hero I’m delighted that we now have a comprehensive piece of research.
“Offering valuable insights into player habits – how and why they bet, the ongoing pain points they’re experiencing with payments and their thoughts on Responsible Gaming—we’ll be taking a deep dive into the results of the survey in our two-part webinar series starting at 10:00 ET on January 14th, and we encourage all US-focused operators and regulators to join us.”
