Continuing efforts to serve racing's interactive market with the
most up-to-date information, Equibase Company LLC today announced a
series of enhancements to equibase.com, including a streaming race
results ticker which provides summary race results online for all North
American Thoroughbred races within minutes of the race being declared
official.
"This latest development is further evidence of our commitment
to make the most relevant information available to the widest possible
audience in the most timely manner," said Equibase Company chairman Alan
Marzelli. "The power of the Internet and our recently redesigned field
collection system allow us to do just that.
"We are very excited about the latest enhancements to
equibase.com, particularly the streaming results ticker," he continued.
"Providing timely access to results through the convenience of the
Internet positions racing on a par with other sports-oriented web sites
which offer similar real-time updates."
The streaming results ticker conveniently launches in its own
window and remains open on the desktop for as long as the user chooses.
The ticker is a direct outgrowth of the Company's new eBase Field
Collection System, which allows Equibase Track and Field Staff to work
directly in the central database over the Internet, greatly reducing the
time involved in processing and disseminating individual race data.
Equibase Company LLC, to be found on the World Wide Web at
www.equibase.com, is a partnership of The Jockey Club and the
Thoroughbred Racing Associations of North America, and serves as the
Thoroughbred industry's official database of racing information.
