that only seems to work if you state the day you're looking for, can't randomly look for a horse by the looks of it.

best i can see you will need to bookmark a horse as a link:

http://www.skysports.com/racing/form-profiles/horse/490203/cue-card

the profile box then shows, doesnt appear to be a direct link atm

If you want to look up random races from a horse that has a future entry then you can access all its previous runs through that link, but for a random horse that pops into your head that has no entries you are stuck....unless you can think of a horse that it has run against previously that does have an entry and you can get at it that way, it's a bit like 6 degrees of separationGrin.

Don't know why they just don't have the profile search there to use because all the race videos are all there to use if you can get at them.

Goodness me - If the sportingLIVE (old) site has been taken down to try and force people to use the 'New' site - then that is an utterly awful decision - and smacks of nothing other than both ignorance and arrogance.


if that was the plan then it has backfired tremendously

They've finished doing the old SportingLife site and replaced it with something similar on the Sky bet site.

Yes found the profiles now, you have to click into a random horse first to get the profile search box up on the left hand side, don't see a "profile" link in itself anywhere.

Couple of niggly things though, when you get all the form up from a horse it would help if when you hovered over the date it would show up the race details without having to click in and out of each race....I'd take this thoughGrin

Thanks for the new link, guys. Be nice if they could put back the pop-up narratives and pedigrees. Simple but effective and better than the Racing Post.

Sparrow - you need to drop the last . from the URL

You need http://www.skysports.com/racing rather than http://www.skysports.com/racing.

It's a subtle difference, but a vital one.

http://www.skysports.com/racing/search seems to be a link now.

@GWiz there is now an arrow facing down that gives the information in your second picture, albeit it it drops down and displays. (I preferred the hover and see as well!)
