Korea move next stage in SIS change in strategy

Customers of betting services provider SIS should start doing their homework on Jae Woo Park and Dong Soo Kim, not to mention Young Kwan Kim and Hyun Myung You.

They may soon become familiar names, for the four are respectively the leading trainer and jockey at Seoul and Busan racecourses in South Korea, from where SIS is now providing pictures and data to retail and online bookmakers in the UK, Ireland and Spain.

The deal was signed with the Korea Racing Authority last week and covers nearly 1,700 races a year, which will be transmitted early in the morning for European punters.
