Following the recent launch of the free Equibase Racing YearbookTM
application (app) within the iTunes store, Equibase has packaged the same race
results and videos and made them available on equibase.com
along with expanded North American racing statistics, it was announced today by
Equibase Company chairman Alan Marzelli.
The web version of the Racing Yearbook, like the app, offers video
replays (provided by Post Time Technologies) and results of all graded stakes
races and ungraded prep races for the Triple Crown and Breeders’ Cup
World Championships.
“In the month since its release, the Racing Yearbook app for the
iPhone has become the highest ranking horse racing app in the USA and is
consistently ranked in the top 10% of all sports apps,” said Marzelli.
“With the launch of the Racing Yearbook on equibase.com we are significantly broadening our reach so
that anyone with a computer can follow the stars of our sport from one central
location.”
In addition to the Racing Yearbook, equibase.com
now includes a Stats Central section that compiles expanded horse, jockey and
trainer statistical profiles in one central location. Profiles are searchable and provide current year and career
stats as well current entry and result information for those with recent
activity.
Complementing the statistical profiles are expanded North American
racing leaders lists that now include all horses, jockeys, trainers and owners
annually back to the year 2000. The lists can be sorted and feature a
“quick find” search tool. Similar enhancements have been made to
track-specific statistics as well.
