Abstract
Survey-grade GPS devices attached to horses or jockeys transmit geolocation data to a server platform. The server platform generates statistical data, including fractional timing information and position data for each horse. The server platform generates a virtual visualization of the horse track with sprites representing each horse and facilitates live betting on results or other parameters of the horse race.

A system of live geolocation for a horse race event, comprising:
- at least one jockey vest, configured to be worn by at least one jockey of at least one horse;
- at least one geolocation tag connected to the at least one jockey vest;
- a plurality of base stations positioned around a horse race track configured to receive telemetry data from the at least one geolocation tag;
- and
- at least one server, including a processor and memory, configured to receive and process the telemetry data from the plurality of base stations;
- wherein the at least one geolocation tag is configured to receive L1, L2, and L5 signals;
- wherein the at least one server determines positions of the at least one horse based on the telemetry data;
- and
- wherein the positions of the at least one horse on the horse race track are displayed on one or more user devices.
A method of live geolocation for a horse race event, comprising:
- at least one geolocation tag connected to at least one jockey vest receiving and processing geolocation data from at least one geolocation satellite, and transmitting telemetry data;
- a plurality of base stations positioned around a horse race track receiving the telemetry data from the at least one geolocation tag;
- at least one server, including a processor and memory, receiving and processing the telemetry data from the plurality of base stations;
- the at least one server determining positions of at least one horse based on the telemetry data;
- and
- one or more user devices displaying the positions of the at least one horse on the horse race track;
- wherein the at least one geolocation tag is configured to receive L1, L2, and L5 signals.

- at least one geolocation tag connected to the at least one jockey vest;
- a plurality of base stations positioned around a horse race track configured to receive telemetry data from the at least one geolocation tag;
- and
- at least one server, including a processor and memory, configured to receive and process the telemetry data from the plurality of base stations;
- wherein the at least one geolocation tag is configured to receive L1, L2, and L5 signals;
- and
- wherein the at least one server is integrated with at least one real-time betting system, and wherein the at least one real-time betting system changes betting odds or pays out bets based on the telemetry data.
