About
TripleSdata is a specialist technology company providing real-time positioning and timing solutions built specifically for the global racing industry. Their flagship SMART suite is engineered for thoroughbred, greyhound, and harness racing jurisdictions, delivering centimetre-level accuracy through advanced GPS, GNSS, and Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning technologies. The platform captures a comprehensive range of metrics including 3D positioning, speed, acceleration, stride length, heart rate, and sectional times — all streamed live to broadcasters, mobile devices, and external data systems. Race officials, trainers, jockeys, and media all benefit from the same real-time data pipeline, which supports photo finish camera integration, live broadcast graphics, and commentator information systems. TripleSdata's mobile application runs natively on Windows, iOS, and Android, enabling stakeholders to watch, control, and replay live races and training sessions from anywhere. Their health monitoring module provides real-time physiological insight into race animals, supporting welfare initiatives and performance optimisation. With 1,500 race days per year served, 4 million sectional times collected, and partners spanning multiple continents, TripleSdata is trusted by racing jurisdictions seeking a proven, reliable, and tamper-proof data infrastructure. The solution is ideal for racing clubs, national racing authorities, broadcasters, and wagering operators looking to enrich the racing experience with authoritative live data.
