Fraser Downs Gets FasTrack

Baymount Incorporated has announced that it has entered into an agreement to provide FasTrack services to Great Canadian Gaming Corporation's Fraser Downs Racetrack in Surrey, BC.

The agreement covers Fraser Downs' live racing calendar, or 84 days of racing from November 11, 2008 to June 28, 2009. FasTrack for Fraser Downs will also be available via the track's website.

"FasTrack is an important service for our industry," said Chuck Keeling, vice president, Racing Operations, at GCGC. "Our racetrack venues combine the thrill of racing with the excitement of casino games which attracts a large number of people who might not be familiar with betting on the races. FasTrack provides a more user-friendly format and provides anyone with the tools to feel more comfortable with the wagering experience and have more fun at the track."

FasTrack, dubbed 'the other racing guide' by some, is Baymount's proprietary software program that uses sophisticated analytical tools to interpret data and run calculations that would normally be done manually by a professional bettor. The new processed data is delivered to fans in the form of a user-friendly 'how-to' guide to placing bets.

FasTrack serves to educate and foster new fans to the horseracing industry. As noted by Baymount's president and CEO, Graham Simmonds: "Horseracing is a sophisticated wagering experience and FasTrack helps remove the intimidation factor. By educating the user, it also provides comfort and more enjoyment in the wagering experience."
