Mountain View, CA — More than 14,000 users have registered for TrackMaster’s Virtual Stable, a free service which notifies harness racing fans when horses they have selected are programmed to race.

Over the last ten years, the service has been significantly enhanced. Among the latest upgrades, users can elect to have text messages sent to their mobile devices one hour before the scheduled post of any horse in their stable. New users can register for the Virtual Stable at www.trackmaster.com/stable.

StatsMaster is another free service offered to harness racing fans in TrackMaster’s Players Club. StatsMaster is a tool that puts the power in users’ hands to obtain the harness racing handicapping statistics and angles that are most important. The constantly updated database of statistics specific to the track and dates users choose has three main categories: drivers, trainers and horses. Within each category are customizable options such as race dates gait, age and sex.

You can even view pre-determined “angles” such as off-tracks, favorites, long shots, even stats off of claims and layoffs. The trainer area has the ability to take a “snapshot” of all of the horses in a trainer’s barn and show their records. Statistics screens can be sorted simply by clicking on the column headings.

For more detailed info on how to use StatsMaster use the Help/Explanations link inside. StatsMaster is accessible at www.trackmaster.com/free.

Finally, TrackMaster offers up to eight free selections every day in its Players Club. These selections will soon be offered on smart phones on its mobile website and in a soon-to-be-introduced application.

TrackMaster offers a complete line of harness racing handicapping products which are available at www.trackmaster.com.
