Racing Queensland and Sky Racing have announced a trial of live digital coverage of every Group 1 race day of the Brisbane Racing Carnival.

The deal means that full coverage of each Saturday Carnival race day from May 13 to June 10 will be produced and streamed live and free on Racing Queensland’s website and UBET’s digital platforms.

The Sky Racing Tatts Tiara meeting on June 24 is also part of the digital coverage.

RQ CEO Dr Eliot Forbes said the coverage provides added accessibility of the Queensland racing product and allows people from around Australia to view a premium production of the race meetings from anywhere on a mobile device.

“This is a significant development for racing in Queensland. Viewers have been able to watch the races live on television but this coverage will be high-quality, with dedicated television presenters and content aimed at informing and entertaining the viewer.”

Included in the daily coverage will be:

• Post-race interviews with trainers and jockeys

• Replays and analysis

• Presentation and speeches

• Colour interviews from out and about on the track

• Full mounting yard coverage

• Race caller cam in the box for his tips and assessment of the race

• Tips and late mail from experts and market updates

• Pick of the yard

• Behind the barrier interviews
