The U.S. Trotting Association announced on Wednesday (June 29) that a new, online version of the Trotting & Pacing Guide, the harness racing industry’s media guide, was launched on its website, ustrotting.com.
“Through the efforts of several departments at the USTA who have worked closely together on this project, we now have the most complete compilation of up-to-date information, statistics and records in the history of our industry,” said USTA Executive Vice President and CEO Mike Tanner in making the announcement. “The new, online T&P Guide contains more current information than the annual, printed publication and it is available anywhere, anytime on any internet-capable device.”
The online version contains much more information than the printed edition and provides up-to-date information, statistics and records on a daily basis instead of being restricted to annual updates. It will now provide interactive features for desktop and laptop computers as well as mobile devices.
Since the information resides in a number of different places, a new landing page was created for the T&P Guide that will provide navigation to the previous information in the book as well as all of the new information that is now available. A new 'T&P Guide' tab is located on the top (black) menu bar on every page of ustrotting.com beside the existing 'Pathway' link for ease of access.
Up-to-date, industry-wide statistical information will reside in Pathway to provide greatly expanded reports and categories. Many reports will be available at no cost, but will also include hyperlinks and the ability to research other paid Pathway offerings, including video replays.
In addition, a new All-Time category is offered for the Top Performers’ reports. Updated daily for current leaders, this will also allow easy online research of all previous year’s Top Performers’ information without the need for a library of the annual, printed editions of the T&P Guide books.
Additional statistical categories and more new information will be added moving forward.
