We at GPI offer production services, including the release and publication of books, and the creation of media content such as television programs related to horseracing and other recreational pursuits. We also plan, produce, and run events, and provide management support for those involved in the sport of horseracing.
Content Distribution Business
We at GPI started our main business of horseracing information content distribution in the Japanese market.
Japan's horseracing market is the biggest in the world in terms of revenue from betting (more than twice that of Australia, in second place (2011)). Including peripheral businesses, this market is said to be worth 5 trillion yen per year. Around 8 million people in Japan purchase a betting ticket once a year, and we have a database of 1 million core fans among the 3 million horseracing fans that are said to place a bet every week.
We at GPI have assembled a human resource team that is highly knowledgeable about the field of horseracing, and have developed a track record over a long period of time in the areas of content production and promotion, giving top priority to incorporating the fans' perspective. Through our group affiliates, we provide users with high-quality services, and have created a highly profitable business model.
In fall 2012, we started providing horseracing content for the Hong Kong market. Using our proprietary analysis logic systems, we began distributing analyzed race data for Hong Kong horseracing.
GPI loves horseracing and delivers information using a variety of approaches in order to convey the appeal of horseracing to a large audience, provide opportunities for people to actually experience horseracing, and attract new fans. We continue to attract horseracing fans in Japan—the global market leader—and around the world, and will continue to deliver content that meets their need for detailed, accurate and up-to-date information.
