The PA has agreed a binding deal to acquire 100% of RAS Technology Holdings Limited, the ASX-listed owner of Racing and Sports, with completion expected in February 2027.
The deal combines RAS with The PA's Podium betting data business. The announcement is dated 19 October 2026, according to SCCG Management's summary of it. Podium and Racing and Sports will keep operating as separate businesses until the transaction completes.
Completion is not certain. The deal remains subject to shareholder, court and other customary approvals. The main hurdle is securing Federal Court approval and satisfying every condition in the Scheme Implementation Deed. The summary reviewed here does not disclose a price.
Once the deal closes, the two racing and sports data businesses will sit under one owner. Operators and media buyers that take racing data from either supplier should watch the approval process, since the outcome decides whether the two product lines stay apart.
