Capitol Harness Racing inks 3 year live streaming video contract with American Web Services

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sep. 16, 2002 – American Web Services, Inc., a developer of Internet business solutions, has contracted to provide live streaming video of harness horse racing for Capitol Harness Racing, the operator of the CalExpo Horse Racing facility.

One of the challenges to providing streaming media to Capitol Harness Racing is the intensity of the schedule. "All of the video streaming occurs in the evening and on weekends nearly 200 nights a year," said Ed Williams, Chief Technology Officer for American Web Services. "Having a team of support personnel available around the clock will make sure things run smoothly." In addition to the real-time broadcasts of the racing, the new streaming services will also provide replays for past races for patrons to view online.

"Now that it’s legal for California residents to wager online, our success in this area is dependent on providing the highest quality product," said John Matajasic, Marketing Director for Capitol Harness Racing. "The video streaming from American Web Services makes it possible for the online patron to have an expansive visual racing experience."

American Web Services has successfully developed and deployed Internet applications for a number of associations and organizations, including the State Building and Construction Trades Council, California Optometric Association, and California Congress of Seniors.
