Top Five Innovations of the Decade in Racing

We were chatting a little bit here at r2 about the top innovative or technological changes we witnessed since the turn of the century. We thought it might make a good blog post, but we needed some feedback. To get some we thought we would ask some innovators what they thought. We gave them a list, with an option to add anything they wanted.

The panel (in no particular order):

Jeff Platt – Jeff is the creator of Jcapper software and President of the Horseplayers Association of North America

Seth Merrow – Seth is the well-known owner and operator of Equidaily.com

Sid Fernando – When Sid isn’t busy as a pedigree consultant for eMatings, he can be found  blogging and  tweeting, especially about international racing.

John Pricci – A long time race fan, bettor and journalist, John is chief editor at Horseraceinsider.com

Kevin Martin – Kevin blogs about the history of racing, among other things at Colinsghost.org

Craig Milikowski – Craig is the creator of Pacefigures.com, a popular software/figure package. He is also a moderator at Paceadvantage.com

Lisa Grimm – Lisa is an archivist, homebrewer and lifelong racing fan who writes about the sport at Superfectablog.com
