    Track Programs and Past Performances

    SPW also provides electronic track programs and past performances for North American horse and greyhound tracks to race tracks and off-track betting establishments in the West Indies.  

    Simulcasting

    In the 1980's, SPW pioneered the satellite simulcasting of U.S. thoroughbred racing to the Caribbean islands when SPW began providing live television pictures from Florida to off-track-betting parlors in Barbados.  Within a few years, harness and greyhound tracks were added.

    SPW works closely with the tracks and race books to establish a relationship, maintain quality of product and ensure the interests of both parties are served.

    Today, many North American horse and greyhound tracks are simulcast to the region, and SPW serves more than 40 OTB operations in Barbados, Bermuda, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago.  For information on available signals contact SPW.

    CompuBook

    CompuBook is a hardware and software package developed by Media & Information Consultant, a division of SPW, to automate off-track-betting shops.  Each system is customized to fit specific requirements of the user.  CompuBook can be configured to automate all phases of OTB shop operations from ticket taking to checking to end of day balancing.
