Keith, is there any mechanism to publicize the arrival of new drivers, trainers and stables with short bios of their accomplishments, where they have been racing, how long they plan on staying at Northfield, etc.? Doesn't the USTA have a database or something that Northfield can access and cut and paste stuff so that the Northfield racing fan can be more informed? It would be nice to know the backgrounds of the new faces arriving at Northfield, whether it's a Brian Loney or a Don O'Dwyer.

We try to include new arrivals in our Keeping Pace release on a pretty regular basis, and I generally run a Pathway report and announce stats on the air when I do picks.

But, your idea is a good one and I will try to begin doing it in the coming weeks. Thanks. Probably throw it in the horsemen profiles.
