Equibase Company LLC has launched the 2006 Virtual Stable Breeders’ Cup World Championships notification service, which provides a daily e-mail of workouts, entries and results for the top contenders for all eight World Championships races. The service is free through http://www.ntra.com and http://www.equibase.com.

The service tracks approximately 25 horses per division, including the top 10 horses in the World Championships Poll. Information on foreign horses is included when possible with the assistance of various international organizations.

The notifications will conclude following the 23rd Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Churchill Downs on November 4.
