Officials with Racing Under Saddle Ontario have announced that the group will kick off Ontario’s racing under saddle season on Friday, May 15, which is Wall of Fame Night at The Raceway at Western Fair District.

The group has announced that it has a new and exciting way to get its fans even closer to the action. Friday’s race will be the first time RUS Ontario will be live streaming warm-ups, pre-race interviews and post-race comments with the new iPhone app Periscope.

Periscope allows viewers to get a personal view of the action. RUS Ontario has announced that it will have at least one person filming and streaming live to Periscope so viewers can see the action as it is filmed. Download the app now and see how exciting racing from the paddock view is. The Periscope app is free and is available through the iTunes store.

The group has also stated that in addition to watching the video as it is happens, fans can send questions they wish to have answered. The questions will be answered moments later.

While following all of the action of RUS racing and taking in the excitement of Wall of Fame Night, also remember to fill out a ballot to win a super prize pack courtesy of the Western Fair District and RUS Ontario.
