Watch great horse racing videos at thorobase.com

[thorobasePA]

Mike (PaceAdvantage) has been kind enough to let me introduce the relaunch of thorobase.com (http://thorobase.com).

We've all enjoyed the sticky Great Race Videos (http://paceadvantage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46143) thread here at PA, so I've rebuilt thorobase to index the best horse racing videos on the 'net today.

You can search for videos of your favorite horses and races, and browse around to discover some great new racing clips.

I’ve (hopefully) incorporated some really cool features to help you find the best racing videos available, like:


a powerful search bar that allows you find the videos you want to watch.

a simple, clean layout to quickly view the latest and most popular videos in the thorobase video index.

deep social network integration so that you can like, share and tweet about your favorite racing videos on Facebook and Twitter.

a really clever and understandable URL system so you can always remember and share your favorite video pages.

You can read about all the features and how to use the new site on the first blog post (http://blog.thorobase.com/2010/thorobase-relaunch/).

As always, the site is free and without ads, and I appreciate any feedback you can give.

I hope you get as much fun out of watching great horse racing videos at thorobase.com (http://thorobase.com) as I had in building it.

Thanks, Robin

Never get tired of watching that Seabiscuit War Admiral match race.

Grown men running across the infield in overcoats and hats, just to get along the rail in the stretch. Good Stuff! Nice work!
