Glad Cube and Sankei Sports Unite for Innovative Racing Info Service Launch

Overview of the New Service

Glad Cube, based in Osaka, Japan, has partnered with Sankei Sports to introduce an innovative service named 'Sanspo Race NAVI', set to launch on September 1, 2026. This new platform consolidates information on multiple public racing events, such as central horse racing, local horse racing, boat racing, cycling, and auto racing into a single user-friendly interface. The service aims to enhance convenience for racing enthusiasts by providing easy access to scheduling and results across different racing formats.

Development Background

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in fans engaging with various forms of public racing. However, the information regarding these events has been scattered across the official websites of each racing type, making it challenging for fans to have a comprehensive view of what races are happening and when. Recognizing this gap, Glad Cube leveraged its expertise gained from operating the sports data platform 'SPAIA' to address the growing demand for an aggregated information source. By combining Sankei Sports' media influence with their own technological capabilities, they developed a cross-platform scheduling service that allows users to view multiple racing events at once.

Features of 'Sanspo Race NAVI'

1. Comprehensive Racing View

The main screen of the service presents a consolidated schedule of various public races that users can quickly scan. The intuitive UI, likened to a TV program guide, frees fans from the hassle of navigating through different media or official websites to find information about separate events.

2. One-stop Access to Race Info

Users can access details about race schedules, participant information (including runner lists for horse racing), and race results all in one place. This streamlined approach allows for efficient navigation, ensuring fans can quickly find the information they need.

3. Insider Tips from Sankei Sports Reporters

To enhance the user experience, Sankei Sports reporters offer exclusive insights on the races, highlighting what specifics fans should pay attention to on race day. This content features firsthand knowledge from the reporters, ensuring that readers receive well-rounded and impactful coverage of the racing events.

Future Prospects

This service embodies the partnership between Glad Cube and Sokai Sports, illustrating the successful collaboration of a major media company with a strong technical development team. By employing their deep understanding of public racing and creating a user-friendly UI/UX, they have positioned themselves well in the sports industry. The launch of 'Sanspo Race NAVI' marks a significant milestone in Glad Cube's growth, demonstrating their reliability and capability in technology development.

Moving forward, the company aims to deepen its collaboration with Sankei Sports while exploring opportunities to expand the learned model of 'media x unique operational know-how' into other industries. By leveraging technology to advance public racing, they aspire to create new ways for fans to engage with and enjoy sports.
