(OTC BB:SNMM) announces that it has entered into a Simulcast Agreement with Capitol Racing L.L.C. to provide live, Internet harness racing coverage from Cal Expo.

''We're pleased to join forces with Starnet, to make our coverage available worldwide,'' said Christopher Schick, Capitol's Director of Simulcasting.
