HTA launches Internet show

Harness Tracks of America, the association of 43 major harness racing operations in the U.S. and Canada, is introducing a new weekly Internet harness racing talk show starting this week, featuring interviews with newsmakers in racing and gaming and commentary on racing and gaming worldwide by HTA executive vice president Stan Bergstein.

A new show 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.” (HTA)
