HTA INTRODUCES NEW INTERNET HARNESS RACING TALK SHOW, WITH
INTERVIEWS
Harness Tracks of America, the association of 43
major harness racing entities in the U.S. and Canada, is introducing
a new weekly Internet harness racing talk show this week, featuring
interviews with newsmakers in racing and gaming and commentary on
racing and gaming worldwide by HTA executive vice president Stan
Bergstein.
The show, called The World in Harness, will
appear each Wednesday on HTA’s Web site,
www.harnesstracks.com, and can be heard there. It is
being produced in a state-of-the-art studio built in HTA’s Tucson,
Arizona, office, and each edition will remain on the HTA Web site
for a week, with updates and inserts as major newsbreaks occur.
Brock Milstein of Northfield Park, HTA’s
president, said in announcing the production, "It became apparent,
listening to the panel of media greats assembled at the Racing
Congress in Las Vegas, that the Internet is racing’s future. We lost
one generation to television half a century ago, and we don’t
propose losing another now. Stan’s daily views of racing and gaming,
distributed each morning to HTA directors in the association’s
Executive Newsletter, deserve wider distribution, and the
Internet provides a perfect platform to reach those in the sport and
the general public." |
