Spotlight Sports Group Extends Smart View Global Footprint With Hong Kong Launch

The Racing Post's AI-powered Smart View Engine adds one of the world's most prestigious racing territories to its international portfolio, marking the next step in Spotlight's 2026 Racing Innovation Blueprint.

Spotlight Sports Group has launched Smart View for Hong Kong racing, extending the Smart View Engine's global footprint into one of the sport's most high-value and internationally recognised betting markets. The product gives operators a proven, scalable tool for engaging Hong Kong racing audiences with data-driven insight. Smart View evaluates hundreds of variables for every runner across seven key performance attributes: Ability, Trainer, Jockey, Course suitability, Distance suitability, Ground effectiveness and Draw bias, distilling that analysis into one clear, definitive rating for every runner.

Happy Valley and Sha Tin are among the sport's most iconic venues, yet for many punters outside the territory the runner cohort, made up largely of horses bred and raced overseas, can feel unfamiliar. Smart View draws on 40 years of proprietary Racing Post data to remove that barrier, giving punters the context and confidence to engage with one of the sport's great markets without having to be an expert in it.

The launch adds Hong Kong to an international portfolio that now spans the UK and Ireland, France, USA, UAE, South Africa and Australia.

Sam Houlding, Managing Director of B2B at Spotlight Sports Group, said:

"The Racing Innovation Blueprint we unveiled in January set out an ambitious year of product development for Spotlight Sports Group. Smart View for Hong Kong is the latest delivery against that commitment. Hong Kong is one of the world's premier racing territories, renowned for the quality of its competition and the scale of its betting market. Smart View was built to work anywhere in the world and launching in Hong Kong is an important milestone as we continue to deliver world-class racing products to our partners around the globe."

Smart View for Hong Kong is available now to Racing Post users and B2B partners.
