equibase.com Hosts Record Traffic on Kentucky Oaks and Derby Days

Equibase Company LLC, the Thoroughbred industry’s official database for racing information, reported a record 531,816 visitors to its website, equibase.com, on the days of the Kentucky Oaks and the Kentucky Derby, up 19.9 percent over the 443,399 total visitors during the comparable two-day period in 2006.

“The record traffic highlights Equibase’s ability to deliver accurate and up-to-the-minute racing and handicapping content to a worldwide audience of racing fans,” said Equibase President and COO, Hank Zeitlin. “It also illustrates equibase.com’s role as a central information resource in support of both racing’s high-profile days as well as all the other days throughout the year.”

equibase.com provides a comprehensive array of racing information, including programs, entries and result charts, as well as a full line of products for handicappers of every skill level. The site is also home to Virtual Stable®, which provides e-mail notification of entry, result and workout information for horses that fans want to follow. Virtual Stable also offers seasonal “race series” notifications, a once-daily report of activity for contenders for the Triple Crown races and the Breeders’ Cup World Championships.
