AllHorseRacing.com launches Triple Crown Challenge

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky – (PRESS RELEASE) -- All Horse Racing.com, an international gaming company, today announced the start of the annual Triple Crown Challenge with a free bet on the first jewel of the Triple Crown. To celebrate the Running of the Roses and the Triple Crown, All Horse Racing is offering risk free bets on the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes.

While the status of several North American ADWs and their ability to offer their customers the Derby Experience this year is up in the air — notably the TVG Network (NASDAQ:GMST) and judging from recent developments, possibly Youbet.com (NASDAQ:UBET) — All Horse Racing looks forward to providing service to the many new members who wish to take part in "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports."

In the words of the American author John Steinbeck, "This Kentucky Derby, whatever it is — a race, an emotion, a turbulence, an explosion — is one of the most beautiful and violent and satisfying things I have ever experienced."

"The Derby is captivating — there is nothing else like it. There are richer purses and more demanding tracks, but this is 'the race.' We invite everybody to come join us and take part in the Derby experience — have a free punt and enjoy the races," explained Leonard Manley, Director of Marketing at All Horse Racing.

What will be the winning time of the 2007 Kentucky Derby?

Last year, Barbaro crushed the field with a winning time of 2:01.36. The year before, Giacamo won in 2:02.75. Will this year's winner be faster or slower than 2:02?

Is it easy street for Street Sense? Will Circular Quay run circles around the competition? Or, is Curlin ready to wipe the field clean?

Suffering an unexpected and disappointing loss to Dominican at the Blue Grass Stakes in Keeneland, Street Sense has lost some public support. More troubling, however, was the fact that the finish time was a slow 1:51.33. Was the relative slow pace at Keeneland due to the new Polytrack or were the jocks simply holding back their mounts as part of an overall race strategy?

Circular Quay has had a long 8 week layoff — and some handicappers feel this to be a detriment. However, Todd Pletcher thinks his entries (Circular Quay, Scat Daddy and Any Given Sunday) will do just fine, "It's a very wide-open Derby at this point," he pointed out.

With his crushing win by 10 ½ lengths at the Arkansas Derby along with his 3 for 3 record, Curlin is proving to be the odds makers' favourite. Steve Assusman thinks his horse has what it takes. "I'd be very surprised if he wasn't the favourite. . .he's beating them easy," he said.

As soon as the Kentucky Derby is over, All Horse Racing will offer risk free wagers for the Preakness and Belmont Stakes.

Other companies involved with online horse racing include Magna Entertainment Corp. (NASDAQ:MECA), Youbet.com (NASDAQ:UBET), TVG Network (NASDAQ:GMST), Penn National (NASDAQ:PENN) and Churchill Downs (NASDAQ:CHDN).

All Horse Racing is a recognised leader in the online horse racing industry with a focus on the thoroughbred and harness horse racing market. Members have the ability to place wagers online on over 100 racetracks including Churchill Downs, Del Mar, Philadelphia Park, Pimlico Race Course and Belmont Park.
