    thought it was ok
    lacked a bit of depth
    meaning training methods,owners,race planning
    i would of liked it if they followed a horse being purchased and following his career and training and owners

    first reaction is the game
    when having a bad period punting wise will stop betting and watching any racing.
    but as i look at my bookcase there is over a hundred books on the subject of racing and many racing prints and statues in the house.
    so i would say both with

    i still use propunter gold on the flat for group 1 and 2 races 3yo +.
    post my ratings on big races discussion
    enough profit just to make it worthwhile
    does take around 45mins per race and tend to back top rated and top value in first three.
    all depends what weight and speed figures you use
    i tend to combine racing post and official ratings.
    not compatable with vista and i understand David Atherton has stopped selling.
    may not use anymore as computer crashed this winter all data gone and can’t find propunter disc.
    also not subscribed to Racing post for ratings.
    but had fun and enjoyed using it.

    i think we all get a bit protective of the horses we think are or were champions in our own opinion.
    but to knock the achievement of Kauto Star yesterday or what he has achieved so far is imo petty.
    This horse has reached greatness and should be rightly praised.
    not only winning 4 King georges on the trot he did it in a manner yesterday that had me in awe of him and destroyed a top class king george field.
    WE can say certain horses never ran up to form but true races like these shows up any flaws horses have and when the going gets tough we see the real champions shine.
    i salute you Kauto Star as the best chaser i have witnessed and definatly the best King George winner ever.

    its come along way from being in the Pacemaker mag.
    if i remember it was £3 to enter.
    always enter but have to admit the last few years its become a lottery.
    i remember when unraced 2yo where are the list and you really had to study for your selections.
    now its to easy to enter but so much harder to win.
    the appeal was getting your name in the racing post when on the updated list.
    best i ever got was joint second with around another 80 odd people on the Ascot festival a few years ago.
    will enter again but only a couple of entries.
    agree with Grasshopper no guaranteed pool is a worry.

    Hi could you give a quick reprise of what points are allocated for? It was intriguing that you had Fame And Glory with 2 more points that Sea The Stars at the weekend.

    basically a computer program (pro punter )
    the usual going,course,trainer form,distance,winnings,collateral form,class of race.
    racing post and official ratings and speed figures
    fed in and bingo its lists all horses in order of points.

    The Fame and glory is a mystery to me too!
    it gives me just enough winners to make it worthwhile but not to be taken to seriously.
