Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 22, 2018 Journalists Share Posted May 22, 2018 The National Steeplechase Association (NSA) is soliciting proposals to provide high-definition video services for all of its race meets, with an initial one-year contract period extending from this coming fall through next spring, it was announced Tuesday. The video services primarily will serve the stewards at approximately 30 race meets and will provide photo-finish capabilities at those meets. Initial expressions of intent to bid, accompanied by signed confidentiality agreements, are due by June 1, and the detailed proposals must be submitted by July 2. “We are a highly visual sport, and high-quality, high-definition video is crucial to steeplechasing in so many ways,” NSA President Guy J. Torsilieri said. “At New York Racing Association (NYRA) facilities and our own meets that have adopted high-definition video, we have seen vividly the importance of these superior-quality images.” Torsilieri said the NSA has received expressions of interest from both U.S. companies and overseas operations. The high-quality video would not only serve the NSA’s regulatory functions, but also provide an enhanced method of evaluating safety considerations for both horses and jockeys and a means to attract new participants through a more visually appealing presentation. For further information on the NSA’s request for proposals, contact Manager of Racing Operations Courtney C. Reid at courtneyreid@nationalsteeplechase.com.
