Horse Racing and the Internet

Okay so this may sound a little bit of a dorky post, but when you think about it horse racing and the internet go hand and hand. You see more and more horses getting websites. For an example, Rockport Harbor (Now Fox Hill Farm), Afleet Alex, Xcellent, Funny Cide, Curlin, Dollar Bill and Smarty Jones had websites when they where running (All, but FHF and Funny's sites are down now). Also Facebook groups are around as well, one such belongs to Arrr, a solid race horse in NY.

Now becoming popular is Twitter, which was in the news recentently with the CNN vs Ashton Kutcher challenge. Since I started on Twitter, West Point Thoroughbreds started Twitter pages for Justwhistledixie (proable 2nd choice in the Oaks) and Fitz Just Right (also heading to the Oaks), both are really cute as they are tweeting from their point of view. And it's just not them, Imperial Council, I Want Revenge also have Twitter pages.

Finally, there are forums. Among my favorites are Fox Hill Farm (http://rockportharbor.com/forum), and Call to Post (http://thecalltopost.com/). Tonight, I'm proud to announce that Thoroughbred Chat will now have a forum! (http://tbtalk.proboards.com/). The big reason why it's called Thoroughbred Talk and not Chat, as there is a forum already called Thoroughbred Chat. Anway, if there are other forums everyone likes let me know!
