FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
WatchandWager secures agreement with Monarch Content
Management
WatchandWager players gain access to major racetracks and
Preakness Stakes
The board of Webis, the Group specialising in pool wagering and
the operators of WatchandWager Cal Expo, the Californian harness
track, is pleased to announce that its Advanced Deposit Wagering
("ADW") business, WatchandWager.com LLC ("WatchandWager") signed an
agreement with Monarch Content Management Group to accept wagers on
all Monarch-operated racetracks in 2023. Monarch Content Management
Group is fully owned by the Stronach Group, a leading racetrack and
technology operator in North America.
The agreement with Monarch Content Management Group allows
WatchandWager players to wager on races at Golden Gate Fields,
Gulfstream Park, Laurel Park, Pimlico, and Santa Anita Park plus
many others. The additions of Gulfstream Park and Pimlico are
important additions to the WatchandWager menu of available tracks.
Based near Miami, Florida, Gulfstream Park is a major center of US
horse racing, especially during the winter and spring when it hosts
the Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup, as well as the Grade 1 Florida Derby
and Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes for Kentucky Derby hopefuls.
Pimlico is located in Baltimore, Maryland, and is one of the oldest
racetracks in the United States. The track is famous for hosting
the second leg of the US Triple Crown, the Grade 1 Preakness Stakes
in May.
The additions of Gulfstream Park, Laurel Park, and Pimlico are
the result of efforts by the WatchandWager management team to
obtain wagering access to these tracks. The agreement with Monarch
means that WatchandWager players have full access to all of the top
tracks in the United States, as well as wagering on all three legs
of the US Triple Crown.
Ed Comins, President of WatchandWager, commented:
"We are pleased to have secured this agreement with our partners
at Monarch Content Management for 2023. WatchandWager takes pride
in offering the best racetracks to its players, and this contract
fulfills that commitment to them. We believe that this agreement
will be mutually-beneficial for both companies, and our players
will be delighted to wager on top class racing from
coast-to-coast."
The first day of racing at Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita Park
is on Monday, 26(th) December.
