Tabcorp partners with DAZN to stream Everest and Caulfield Cup day across the world

Every race at Randwick and Caulfield on Saturday will be streamed free to registered DAZN users in more than 230 countries and territories. Tabcorp has struck a deal with the global sports platform to carry a single World Feed of The Everest and Caulfield Cup meetings.

Sky Racing, Racing NSW and Racing Victoria will produce the coverage and Tabcorp said the feed will be given over entirely to the two meetings.

Sky Racing’s Brad Gray will lead the broadcast with Ben Way and Kiersten Duke at Randwick, and Racing.com presenter Kate Watts will cover Caulfield.

“Sky has worked closely with Racing NSW and Racing Victoria to increase the global distribution of their product, and Saturday’s World Feed is the next step in that evolution,” Tabcorp chief commercial and media officer Jarrod Villani said.

Villani said Tabcorp wants to produce more world feeds of major Australian meetings. He also linked the broadcast to the recent merger of the company’s three totes.

“It’s also important for Tabcorp to promote the industry together. Bringing the three totes together to create ONE POOL was one example, and a joint World Feed is another step in that journey,” he said.

One Pool, which combined NSW TAB, SuperTAB and UniTAB, launched on October 2.

The broadcast extends a relationship that began in June. DAZN and Tabcorp launched WorldPlay, a World Cup prediction platform operating in Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and Austria. Its studio program, WorldPlayHQ, was produced by Sky Racing and hosted by Way.

“With the world’s highest-rated racehorse, Ka Ying Rising, returning to defend his Everest crown against Australia’s best sprinters, there is unprecedented international interest in this year’s race,” Racing NSW acting chief executive Graeme Hinton said.

“The Everest was created to do things differently, to attract new audiences and to take racing beyond its traditional boundaries. Making the broadcast available in more than 230 countries and territories is another example of how that vision continues to be realised,” Hinton said.

Racing Victoria chief executive Aaron Morrison highlighted the 150th running of the Caulfield Cup.
