TrackPower Acquires Interest in Armstrong Bros

NEW YORK, Mar 1, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- TrackPower, Inc. announced today that
it has joined a group of private investors to acquire all the shares of
Armstrong Holdings (Brampton) Limited. Operating as Armstrong Bros, with their
well-known trade name Armbro, the company has been a leading breeder of
standardbred horses for 50 years.

Armstrong's industry leadership position is a reflection of the size and
strength of its operations: 36 stallions (shared ownership/breeding rights),
approximately 180 broodmares, over 100 yearlings annually, 1,100 acres of prime
farmland complete with custom built facilities and equipment, interest in two
significant horse sale companies and a strong racing stable. A long-serving
highly respected management team guides the operation. This management team has
continued the industry leadership position started by the founding Armstrong
Bros and continued by the Armstrong family in terms of both industry involvement
and advanced breeding techniques.

TrackPower has been involved in several areas of the HorseRacing Industry. The
expertise of the TrackPower management team will assist the other partners in
the future growth and profitability of Armstrong's.

TrackPower will be the largest single owner holding approximately 40% of the
company's common stock. In addition, TrackPower will acquire for cash at
closing, 100% of the existing broodmare band, their foals of 2002 along with all
the stallion shares. This should provide TrackPower with a significant revenue
stream for the foreseeable future.

The horses acquired will continue to be located at the Armstrong facility and be
cared for and managed by Armstrong personnel.

John Simmonds, TrackPower's Chief Executive Officer stated, "we are very excited
about this opportunity. TrackPower is playing a key role in this endeavor and we
expect an excellent return on our capital."

TrackPower currently trades on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board under the symbol TPWR.
