Online Betting Site Acquires Racing2Day

29th October, 2010

One of the best uk betting sites has announced a deal to acquire the majority stake in Racing2Day - an online betting business which offers Paris-mutuel odds on US Racing.

Gibraltar-based Stan James Plc has bought the US based racing business, which is licensed by the Oregon Racing Commission and offers hors racing bets via their call centre.

A spokesman for Stan James said of the move...

'We are delighted to have completed this important investment into Racing2day. The team at Racing2day is passionate about horse racing and their high quality product gives us an ideal opportunity to develop and enhance our international racing offering.'

Racing2Day spokesman Vincent Caldwell was equally as buoyant by the deal...

'StanJames.com's involvement will drive the development of Racing2Day in offering a truly unique and independent wagering service to American and international horse-racing players.'

Stan James is often credited as inventing the concept of Betting In Running back in the late 1990's.
