Racing WA and the Seven Network have today agreed to a new multi-year partnership to showcase Western Australian thoroughbred racing live and free on the screens of Seven.
From 16 September 2024, all thoroughbred race meetings in Western Australia will be broadcast live and free on the Seven Network’s digital streaming platform, 7plus.
“This partnership with Seven marks a fantastic opportunity for the WA racing industry,” Racing and Wagering Western Australia CEO Ian Edwards said.
“We are excited to be partnered with Seven to enhance the visibility of WA racing and further showcase our state’s racing to a wider audience than ever before.”
In addition to 7plus, Western Australian thoroughbred meetings will also be streamed via racingwa.com.au and RWWA’s TABtouch mobile app.
Coverage of all race meetings will include extensive pre-race coverage and post-race analysis from WA form experts.
“The partnership represents a collaborative effort between Racing WA, Perth Racing and the Western Australian Provincial Thoroughbred Racing Association,” Perth Racing CEO James Oldring added.
Seven Network Commercial Director – Sport, Renee Quirk, said: “Seven’s live and free racing coverage currently spans 52 weekends of the year, and we are thrilled to further our already extensive race day offering with every WA thoroughbred race meeting.
“With WA race days from Wednesday through to Sunday, on top of Seven’s weekly Saturday racing coverage, viewers need to look no further than Seven and 7plus for gold standard Australian racing.”
Seven Network Director of Sport, Chris Jones, said: “Seven’s dedication to the Australian racing industry spans all corners of the nation and we cannot wait to work together with Racing WA to showcase their high-quality race meetings with a broader audience.
