Decent racing sources that are still free are becoming scarce now and even the pay to view ones could be a whole lot better, Australian and American racing have some Great sites the you pay to view and the race cards are "fantastic" , all the race history at track and other factors all on the same race card, even the trainers stats per horse per track.

America has the biggest number of race courses and though punters are unable to bet freely because restrictions are in place that favor casinos and not bookmakers, this doesn't stop the USA having great tracks and racing form sources, probably the best in the world and the hallmark of the best thoroughbreds is still the ones that race and sire "over the pond"...

In fact to say the wild west was won on the backs of good horses they have let the sleezy casinos that first popped up in the gold rush towns to extact the wealth of the unwise, now rule the roost and it certainly isnt as "fair" as the gambling that we all enjoy in the UK as we have greater freedom and choice and the exchanges have been a blessing to all bettors and represents still the best of British inovation

What's actually wrong with it? The pages don't work properly now, there is text and pictures merging together making it a right mess to look at. There is easily available information that is NOW missing. It cannot be called an update, it has had a lick of paint at best  |

re: What's wrong with it?
Good god, have you not read this thread - there are lots of examples. It also looks like they didn't test for partially abandoned (sorry Abd in SL speak) meetings either, as there is no indication that Newcastle has abandoned half-way through! We all know how this got passed don't we - do an ar$e-licking presenation where everyone gushes over the "new colours", the "new, improved layout".... do all you can to keep them away from actually USING the site or they'll realise what a backward step it really is. Grab the payment and run like hell ... |

i have to agree with everyones complaints about the sporting life site ,selecting a horse to pop a few quid on used to take 5/10 minutes, unless it was a big handicap race etc, now takes ages ,i emailed them no reply yet,,no breeding info ,owner info ,unless you click to open another page ,click on the win&place tab ,you get the place results only,,its as good as useless now ,i'll give the atr site a try ,or the racing post ,

silvergreaser 27 Jun 12 21:31 like everything when its new it takes a little while to get use to it, I'm sure in a few days you'll be navigating the site just as quick as you did before the changes?. It isn't as simple as that silvergreaser. I have used the SL racecards every day for years and using the same browser for all those years too. Now most of the "updated" (pfffft yeah right) designed pages are not displayed properly. Also there are things missing that shouldn't be, like what twomatchpoints mentions in the first post about Sire info etc when you hover your mouse-pointer over the runner. I see the Sire/Dam/Owner info tool-tip is back now when you hover your mouse-pointer over the runner Still some layout issues though. Click a runners profile and the first 2 columns ( Date & Pos )are intermingled, so you cant see the finishing position or date  It is nice to know you are listening and still working on it though SL dev team  Now one of you go and download Opera web browser from here http://www.opera.com/ and see what i mean about display issues  |
