17th November 2025
Total Performance Data (TPD), the world’s leading provider of live horse racing data, has officially launched its GPS tracking, live race graphics, and automated race timing system at the iconic La Rinconada racecourse in Caracas, Venezuela.
Racing at La Rinconada is operated by the Instituto Nacional de Hipódromos where the technology is now in full raceday operation. The new partnership makes La Rinconada the latest venue to benefit from TPD’s market-leading solution which combines precise real-time positioning with rich visual race graphics and accurate race timing. The system is proven worldwide to elevate the racing experience for spectators, bettors, broadcasters, and racing professionals, while the deal also unlocks new commercial, in-play betting and digital opportunities for the track.
Live tracking data and race graphics showcased during the prestigious Gran Premio Clásico Internacional Simón Bolívar (G1), won by Astuto and ridden by Juan Carlos Paolini for trainer Humberto Correia in October.
The latest deployment at La Rinconada adds to TPD’s growing global footprint, underscoring both the company’s commitment to providing unrivalled race data solutions and content worldwide, and the flexibility and scalability of the supporting raceday hardware.
Now present in 15 countries, La Rinconada joins a growing and elite group of over 120 international racecourses harnessing TPD’s technology. Venezuela is a member of the Caribbean Racing Confederation and South America’s OSAF, meaning the deal represents TPD’s second partnership in the Caribbean region, and its fifth in the wider South American region respectively.
Adam Moore, Director of Racing Partnerships at TPD, said: “La Rinconada is an ambitious gem in the world of international horse racing, and we are proud to bring our technology to this iconic and picturesque Venezuelan venue. The team have been real pleasure to collaborate with, and we now look forward to a long a fruitful future partnership. TPD’s rich content and performance insights can now be enjoyed by the passionate racing public in Venezuela and beyond. Our partnership will also support the local vision of elevating and promoting Venezuelan racing on the global stage”.
Dr. Luigi Miglietti, on behalf of La Rinconada, comments: “In its modern era, La Rinconada has reaffirmed its position as a leader in Latin American racing, the racecourse is currently notable for having the best race purses in Latin America, attracting high-level competition and investment to the Venezuelan turf.
To ensure fairness and provide precise data, La Rinconada employs advanced racing technology, including the GMAX/TPD tracking system. This system uses transponders to accurately measure the distance and speed of horses in real-time, providing highly accurate race data and enhancing the spectator experience.
In summary, La Rinconada is a historical and architectural masterpiece that continues to lead the region, blending its rich past with modern advancements like top-tier purses and TPD’s latest tracking technology.”
