Racing fans can now go behind the scenes year-round at Aqueduct Racetrack, Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course with the launch of The New York Racing Association, Inc.’s (NYRA) latest on-line offering, “NY Racing Insider.” The blog is located at www.nyracinginsider.com.

Consolidating and building on both the popular “Saratoga Insider” and “Belmont Insider” blogs, “NY Racing Insider” gives fans unprecedented access to the backstretch with up-close-and-personal looks at all three of NYRA’s racetracks.

The newest post on the all-inclusive site is a visit with Sean Avery (the horse), in which more than a few similarities between the equine athlete and the New York Rangers’ left wing are discovered.

With exclusive video blogs (vlogs), photos and news, “NY Racing Insider” presents a fresh and informal view of the racing world. Available at www.nyracinginsider.com or by linking on the “NY Racing Insider” banner at NYRA.com, the blog joins NYRA’s extensive array of online offerings designed to provide fans with the most up-to-date information about New York racing.

Other recent upgrades to the NYRA online universe include “Almost Live Video Streaming,” same-day NYRA replays available to NYRA Rewards Members three minutes after the race is official, as well as photo finish pictures, which became available in July. Other popular on-demand videos available at NYRA.com include “Jockey Video Cards,” up-close-and-personal interviews with NYRA’s leading jockeys and “On the Record,” candid conversations with some of New York’s most renowned trainers.
