Racehorse TALK

Not being able to view the whole day's results is still not fixed on the general site 
BUt if you log in through NetBet Pro it is possible to see the whole day's results at a glance.

Before UNiTAB split from Sportsbet pre post prices were usually up for Saturday on Thursday evening Not anymore.

Maybe They want to see how the opposition rates their markets

Stumbled upon the Fixed Price, they are hidden under 'Fixed Price multi'. Not sure when they first went up though. Just click on 'fixed price multi' then click on the meeting.

Another thing that annoys me, is how the links when you hover over them, the font size changes

It makes the whole website shake, and when a little seedy, makes you want to throw up 

It goes big bold so you know what you're clicking on?? 

Yh, but I know what I am clciking on, because my mouse is pointing at it

Have it change colour, and or just bold it with out the font size change

I'd love to call on dan crane to answer this (who seems to have been absent lately) - but the site appears to be working ok for me!

You try the old site ?

The link at the top of the page ?

yep...i gott in there and logged in but as soon as i logged out i got the same error message

Thanks for the link for the OLD link.  I hate the new one...

Yep the Unitab site crashed at around 4pm. I got that message too "This site is temporarily Unavailable" Not sure how long it was down but there was definitely a problem.

Hi MagiC~  On that screen shot ( your post 12 th Feb ) we just need to be able to capture the race field information. Currently on the new layout if you hit < Edit >  < Select  All > it picks up the three windows as shown in your post. On the old site < Select All >  just picked up the race field window information.  Hope Unitab fix this as soon as possible as the merging of the Race Field Data and the Form field data produces a mighty combination. So also while El Zoro says the form information is not good I think it is great. Will try to post a display about  what one can do with just that information. Unitab have said they know of the problem with the Race Field screen data and will get around to fixing it. Lets hope so. Cheers

Hi El Zoro  Not sure there is much wrong with the Form ( once you log in ), as with a combination of the race field file data and the Form file data there is enough information for even the most fastidious, so I hope they do not change the data content. Many years ago a Control Data Systems designer collected numerous race data files, mainly of Melbourne races and using regression analysis on a powerful computer in the States, overnight for cost purposes, got the computer to work out the most useful pieces of data for winner selection. Although he started with about 38 pieces of data ( Barrier age win % etc.... ), the computer spat back that there was only four pieces of information that was necessary and the rest did not contribute anything worth while from a return to  labour collection point of view. Nowdays we all have computers nearly powerful as the one he used on our own desks.
 The four pieces of information were 1, The Sum of the two best placings of the last four runs of each horse. 2. The Morning line of odds from the main Saturday newspaper. 3. The Last Race odds of each runner.  So if there was to be a useful extension of the UNITAB base data on Form, it would be to provide information about a horses last four runs not three as it stands.   Cheers.
