Salt Lake City, Utah – The Utah Quarter Horse Association is
running horses where they have never been before, on the World Wide
Web. Starting on April 30th and continuing throughout the race
meet in Utah, the UQHA will be broadcasting all races through their www.uqhra.com
web site. Races will be streamed live over the Internet and will
also be recorded and made available for viewing after the races have
concluded.
UQHA’s streaming media broadcast will allow Internet users anywhere in
the world to see and hear the day’s races at anytime using their
computer. Owners, sponsors, and race fans new and old will be
able to see the races as they happen or as many times afterwards as
they want. In fact, race attendees who bring their wirelessly
enabled laptop computers can take advantage of the free HOTSPOTZZ
wireless Internet access provided at the Laurel Brown Racetrack to
browse to the UQHA web site and view an “instant replay" of each race
as soon as it has finished.
It is this kind of forward thinking that is accelerating the growth of
the UQHA racing division and raising awareness in the community.
Through efforts such as the streaming media broadcasts, family focused
events such as Kids Day and Youth Day, and other advancements such as a
newly designed web site and the availability of HOTSPOTZZ wireless
Internet access at race events, the UQHA has been able to attract race
fans and sponsors alike.
“A lot of planning, preparation, and perspiration has gone into
creating a great season for race fans this year," said Billy Peterson,
UQHA Director. “We are very excited to see everything come
together and are looking forward to seeing smiling faces in the crowd
at all of this season’s races."
The UQHA Horse Races will be held at the Laurel Brown Equestrian Park
in South Jordan, located at 10800 South 2200 West. General Admission is
$4. Children four and under get in free when accompanied by an adult.
