Just been looking at the results for Wincanton yesterday online and apparently, every race was run in a time that exactly equals the standard.
That came as a surprise, as I was there and the ground was as bad as I’ve ever seen at Wincanton.
Yeah…
i am less psstd with the new RP website, they seem to be ironing things out GRADUALLY mmmm
Just hope they include the going correction data for each meeting.

carlisleIn the meantime, and whilst the Post is still getting its act together, I notice that Timeform is offering FREE insights for every race in Britain and Ireland today, Saturday and Sunday.
For those of you that don’t know what that comprises, the contents of the mailshot I got from them explains;
“Race Insights provide all the Timeform information you need for any race.
– Timeform Race Ratings
– A Timeform racing CV for every runner, including its Timeform commentary, performance ratings and analysis for each start
– Trainer and jockey performance statistics
– Live Betfair prices
– Unique In-Play symbols for British races“A fairly enterprising offer in the circumstances, I reckon. I’ve become quite a fan of the in-play symbols over the last couple of months in particular, as they take a lot of the drudgery out of trying to work out the likely pace and shape of a race.

No Tingle Creek for me then
Tried to log in at work, but our system doesn’t have windows internet explorer 7 and we cannot download it. So I cannot access thte site at all because it can be viewed only using IE7.
Oh well, it’s off to ATR at least things work well there.
Today, I couldn’t get a video of a horse’s previous race. All the visual indicators seemed to suggest I should.
Couldn’t get race results for the day on a single page either. Just the latest.
I think it would be called it very non-intuitive navigability.
Grayscoloumn,
They must like you because I cannot get the Timform race insights for free.
Good luck

You have to register with Timeform, no idea, but the race previews are indeed free (according to their website at least).
Timeform keep sending me e-mails for free weekend ‘Insights’, which I routinely delete (being strictly from the school of "No such thing as a freebie").
Am I missing out? Do these things show Black Book ratings etc, or is it just a loose appraisal of the weekends events?

The Insights include (I think) full career perspective as well as adjusted racecard ratings and the up-to-date comment.
Am I being dim or is it now impossible to export racecards into Excel using the Import External Data function on the new RP website? A standard C&P of the racecard gives a load of gobbledeygook.
Just thought I’d put a good word in for Timeform’s Customer Service.
I emailed them last night with a problem on my account. This morning I recieved an email asking me to phone them, which I did. Within two minutes problem sorted. Excellent customer service – unlike some others!

Thanks for the nod, DJ. Looked through the Sandown Insight today – very useful.

Not being dim. The new site uses frames and the external data function looks for tables.

Not complaining but wonder if the troubles of RP new site and the fact that a couple of days this week including today RUK has been free to air has any connection -anyway long may it continue
