Harrisburg, PA — Earl Beal, Jr., President of the Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen’s Association, today announced the launch of www.paharnessweek.com.

Visitors to the new Web site can watch archived episodes of the PA HarnessWeek TV show, which airs first on Comcast SportsNet (Philadelphia region) on Saturdays at 1:00 p.m. through August 23. The site also includes more information on the show and its on-air hosts and production team.

In addition, visitors to the Web site can download a new issue of the PA HarnessWeek Online Edition each week throughout the show’s season. The free newsletter includes columns from Millard S. Beatty III, handicapper for the Delco Times newspaper and Vice President of the US Harness Writer’s Association Keystone Chapter, and Jim Beviglia, track announcer for Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

“Pennsylvania harness racing is becoming more exciting and competitive by the day, and we want fans to come along for the ride,” said Mr. Beal. “The new PA HarnessWeek Web site allows fans everywhere to get the inside track and also revisit their favorite moments from the 2008 season.”

Mr. Beal added, “We are particularly looking forward to the countdown to Super Stakes Sunday on August 17 at Harrah’s Chester. Viewers can expect full coverage of the richest day in Pennsylvania racing — $2.3 million in total purses for the Battle of the Brandywine, Colonial Trot and Valley Forge Pace.”
