TRP sign up Paddy Power Betfair to service

The Racing Partnership (TRP), the new betting shop channel which launched last month, has agreed a long-term media rights deal with Paddy Power Betfair which means more than 1,800 shops are now signed up to take the service.

The channel will include meetings from all 15 Arc-owned racecourses and seven independent racecourses from January 2018, although six will leave SIS to be shown on TRP from January 1, including Lingfield, Southwell and Wolverhampton.

The bookmaker's retail managing director Dan Taylor said: "Paddy Power Betfair is delighted to have entered into this agreement with The Racing Partnership to ensure that customers in all of our shops across Ireland and the UK will continue to see fixtures from TRP racecourses as well as racing from South Africa."
