The Meadowlands
Race Office is communicating with horsemen on various racing related functions
by text. An agreement with Sumotext
enables the office to send mass text messages to all horsemen that have signed
up for the service with the push of a button.
That service came into play on Wednesday, when a class for
Saturday was short a few horses. A text message was sent out to the 550
subscribers and within minutes horsemen responded. Rather than be dropped, that
race is on the card with a ten horse field.
If you are racing at The Meadowlands, it is to your benefit to opt-in to the
service. Click here http://www.84700.mobi/?MEADOWLANDS and provide the required information. You will quickly receive a
confirmation text to which you
must respond "yes" to accept the service.
You may also text the word "MEADOWLANDS" to 84700 to subscribe.
The text service will also be used by the Race Office at Tioga & Vernon Downs during
their live racing season. Subscribing to this offer will include you in the
transmissions from all three tracks.
The service is free. Message and data rates from your
provider may apply.
