WeatherTrax Live delivers Festival data
WeatherTrax Live, the official resource for real time weather and Going information for the 2022 Cheltenham Festival, is free to view at: https://www.thejockeyclub.co.uk/cheltenham/owners-and-trainers/the-going/
Detailed information including rainfall, wind speed & direction, air temperature, humidity and evapotranspiration is published alongside latest GoingMaps, GoingStick readings and official Going descriptions for all three courses and refreshed every five minutes 24 hours a day using latest technology.
Cheltenham Clerk of the Course Jon Pullin said, “WeatherTrax proved very popular when it was included on our website for the first time last year attracting almost 45,000 unique visitors many of them checking multiple times during the week. From my point of view it’s a valuable tool for keeping horsemen and racegoers informed in real-time.
”It can be viewed by the Festival’s millions of followers world-wide who now have access to exactly the same data as those of us on the ground and as data continues to become ever increasingly important.”
At the core of the service is the latest state-of-the-art TurfTrax Weather Station situated in the centre of the racecourse from where information is relayed via the 4G network to the TurfTrax Hub platform.
TurfTrax Managing Director Mike Maher said, “We are delighted that TurfTrax is once again playing an important role at this iconic sporting event.
“The latest generation TurfTrax Weather Station can be installed at any venue and data easily provided TurfTrax Hub, meaning vital information relating to performance and safety is easily available across multiple platforms at the same time.”
