HorseplayerPro to hold live chats at Churchill
Posted by Alicia Wincze on October 30, 2009
HorseplayerPro has entered into an agreement with Churchill Downs Incorporated to provide interactive on-line chats during November’s Churchill Downs and Fair Grounds live racing cards. The first CDI chat will coincide with Churchill Downs’ opening day, Sunday, November 1.
The live chats begin every raceday with 30 minutes to post for the first race and go through the entire card, giving at-home fans and players a chance to ask HorseplayerPRO and Churchill Downs handicappers for advice, while also chatting with other racing fans. Fans can log on to Churchilldowns.com or Horseplayerpro.com to take part in the free service. The Churchill chats will be hosted by Jeremy Plonk and Joe Kristufek, with frequent on-track analysis from track announcer Mark Johnston, Jill Byrne, John Asher, Darren Rogers and more.
HorseplayerPRO also will team with Breeders’ Cup Ltd. in presenting the official live chats of the Nov. 6-7 championships. The full-card, two-day chats will be available at Breederscup.com, Breederscup360.com and Horseplayerpro.com. At Breederscup.com, the chats are integrated alongside the live simulcast video presentation shown at tracks and OTBS around the world.
