The NTRA website now includes a "Virtual Q & A" page that offers an attractive, and what passes for young at a racetrack, woman that will answer your questions about horse racing. As all of these are, the subject matter is limited. "What is a gelding" is dispatched with quite well, but "What brand of hair gel does Dan Illman use" is more difficult for the lass. Terms such as steroids and breakdown also yield no results.
Any question prefaced with "Who is" and concluded with a question mark refers the surfer to the Stats section of the website, whether that person is Todd Pletcher or Milkshakey McShakingham.
Of course I'm taking completely unfair pot shots at them. Honestly, I love to see them trying. They've done great work with the site and I hope they keep it up. It's not nba.com with their realtime active content or even mlb.com (which has also been a laggard) but they've made great leaps with the site in a short amount of time. Here's just one, but Kentucky Joe has noted a number of the advancements on his blog.
We can be interactive over here at the Tote Board Brad Blog, too. Post your favorite questions and subsequent results in the comments section.

But did she have to wear mom jeans and earrings?
I'm as sloppy as the next working mom, but even at the track, I look a bit cooler!
I had to take a little visit over to NTRA.U and appears that they are striving for the Dowdy June Cleaver look. I suppose if she were dressed like Katie and Jenna on the winticket.com add, e.g., nothing but jockey silks, folks would not take her seriously. However, I'm sure that the site would get a lot more hits!!
And a question for the interactive portion of this blog: Steve Asmussen will be ending his 6 month suspension on the 10th of January. So what exactly does a trainer do with his time when he is suspended? What is Todd Pletcher doing at this time? And, by the way, what is Todd Pletcher's favorite color?
I heard that Steve Asmussen earned 12 credits towards his pharmacology degree while he was away. Todd P is in an accelerated class and will get 6 credits in 45 days
equidaily added a link to the q&a last night or this morning. do they read your blog?
