Racehorse TALK

I think this deserves a Sticky Westie ?

Good Stuff 

The new Racing Post website, www.racingpost.com, has traditional course maps, plus a google earth style overhead view for most UK tracks.  Most impressive.

For years I was a major advocate for the joys of the Racing Post website. That is no longer the case. The new Racing Post website represents the typical battle between style over content and functionality. It's a messy technowank at the moment and needs serious attention. A major step backwards in the quest to "look great". 

Spot on Hillbilly, the new website is verging on unusable. Wonder if they used the same ppl as Tabcorp???

technowank      spot on

I believe that the techno wizzes of Tabcorp, RacingPost, AFL and the Studbook have formed an alliance to build the best looking non functioning site possible. They are all succeeding horrendously to some extent. Some of the best resources on the net are now non starters.

     

On a positive note the Rome site for Capanelle racecourse is now one of the best - If you understand Italian. Free replays soon after the event. Full form. 

What is specifically wrong with the new racing post site?  I actually quite like it, but then I only use it to read news and watch the racing reviews, which I quite enjoy.

Not knocking you, just asking?

My own issue is it is incredibly and frustratingly slow.
