New Timing Technology Set For Cheltenham Festival Appearance By Pablo Luna / Tuesday, 19 Jan 2021 03:30PM
Jump racing timing technology will once again be in use when the tapes go up for the 2021 Cheltenham Festival, which is expected to get underway on Tuesday 16th March.
A partnership between Cheltenham Racecourse and the British Horseracing Authority has confirmed the new technology, which was used for the first time at the Festival in 2019.
Improved since it’s the first use, the technology now uses the latest brake beam system, which has been advanced to help create a more accurate record of time data in horse races.
