"This free service allows fans to see the world's leading prep races on The Road to the World Thoroughbred Championships," said Ken Kirchner, senior vice president of product development for the NTRA. "We want to heighten the interest of casual fans and allow them, at no cost, to play the Championship races with every bit as much insight as the heavy hitters. At the same time, there was a great deal of customer demand for a DVD product, and our partnership with Post Time Technologies and RaceReplays.com allowed us the flexibility to efficiently do both."
"We're very excited to be partnering with the NTRA and Breeders' Cup to provide global racing fans with access to this great racing content for handicapping the World Thoroughbred Championships," said Hardave Gill, president of Post Time Technologies Inc., which is the developer and operator of RaceReplays.com. "Participating in the Breeders' Cup indicates the racing industry's recognition of RaceReplays.com as the premier source for on-demand replay content."
