Not you. Natalieportman was hiding erroneous SEO links in people's quotes, like the example in your quoted post that I highlighted above, and in three other threads. Natalieportman's account has since been deactivated by admin.
Good Afternoon - we should have an update on RMG tracks pretty soon. The unfortunate delay is purely down to the finer contractual details, and which I suspect is compounded by RMG requiring separate contracts with Bet Angel and the other Vendors which carry our data. As soon as we see white smoke from the legal teams we will let you know.
Hi Everyone - if you are a TPD Zone subscriber you should shortly be receiving an email announcing the long-awaited news - Live GPS data from all of RMG’s (Racecourse Media Group) UK racecourses is now available!
To support this major expansion, we have obviously had to update our live data subscription plans (they may not be visible until later today / over the weekend). However your current subscription will remain active for the next six months. After that, you will need to move to one of the new plans.
Of course, you’re welcome to upgrade right away and take full advantage of the additional races now covered.
Important: If you cancel your subscription after the RMG launch and later choose to re-subscribe, you’ll automatically be directed to the new subscription tiers.
If you have any questions, just drop us a line at [email protected].
Enjoy the Guineas this weekend - with GPS data!

The following is an official TPD communication that we are distributing to the various TPD Zone stakeholders;
“From Tuesday the 15 July, TPD will resume the live transmission of GPS data from the UK racecourses broadcast by RacingTV. These are the Jockey Club racecourses plus Goodwood, York and other UK courses in this list https://www.racingtv.com/racecourses i.e. the UK courses administered by Racing Media Group (RMG).
It remains the case that the underlying GPS hardware used on the Sky Sports Racing tracks (Arena Racing Company courses) is fundamentally different to that used on the RacingTV racecourses.
TPD do what can be done to distribute matching data, but there are limits as to what can be done with the source data being delivered live to the various platforms. Both systems are constantly evolving and TPD will provide the best possible content the moment it becomes available.”
In summary what is known in this Forum as the “RMG feed” is being switched on again from tomorrow, Tuesday 15th July. This has been requested by a number of our customers, who have asked for such, as something is better than nothing and good use can be made of certain elements of the data.
Also, to make life easier, our Status page; https://www.tpd.zone/status/ will have a comment alongside all races in which the data is to be treated with caution.

Good news. Even with reduced data accuracy the TPD data is still very useful. Looking forward to having it back.
Nothing will change re the ARC courses, however the RMG feed is fundamentally different and does not have the facility to issue Data/Assignment errors. This excellent blog post from Peter is well worth a read, if you have not already done so, re the nuances of the different feeds; https://www.betangel.com/racecourse-ownership-uk/
Very pleased to announce that data from an additional US track will be available towards the end of this week/over the weekend. We are conducting some final tests this Thursday, 20th November and if all is well we will be live for the Friday 21st fixture.
