Formgrids South Africa shuts down today

Flash Harry this is just one thing I am pointing out,, there are dozens more,, Rob de Kock refused to help with my request to go to the Asian Racing Conference as a speaker for a SA development in horse racing,,, WHY,,, the whole world is looking and working on finding ways forward for racings survival and we’ve got something here,, and because he is head of NHRA is is unaccountable to no-one ???? how on earth did he get the position in the first place,, and no-one in SA can call an industry meeting to further a great product ??? Are they blind,,, doing upgrade a racecourse because some contractor will make money ???? ever wondered why youve never seen us on telly track ????

Harris, please explain how the "sympathy" vote you feel was sought would have helped the situation and from whom it would be expected? the operators??

JTL try get this into your reasoning..It is NOT about the money!!!!!! not every thing comes down to Rands and cents!!!

Mistar a, it's your toy.

You have to make your decisions, but it is going to be very difficult for you to convince any businessman that for you, the custermer is king. To get what you want, you holding your customer to the fire to get someone else to do something, very much in the mold that you have to guarantee no formgrids user would play the open bet.

How are you any better than those you vilify, when you use the same tactics?

By the way, I believe that once the appeal courts opened up the open bet.... That for an operator ever to make blocking the open bet conditional, however they conspire to do it, is coercion or undue influence. You would have to say going against a court ruling or diverting its intention, is illegal.

People who have had this open bet gun put to their heads should post here. At some point you will have a class action against the perpetrators.

but Harris what are you talking about you racing operators wont like you saying Formgrids serves the industry,,, Rob De Kock says if Formgrids was any good Phumelela and Gold Circle would have furthered us long ago,, and Riaan and Phumelela say it only serves a small unimportant part of their customer base,, and they are not concentrating on internet users they only want to target the R20 tote player

sorry boys,, have to run,, maybe now you can see what your industry leaders think of you computer literate players,, they don’t give Jack Dash about you,, get on their case and off mine

If it's not about money then lets have access

Tich now really buddy, after all these posts I now believe you own Formgrids :S

The sudden shutdown is a kick in the teeth for the loyal fans who have been praising Formgrids and David for 8yrs. It is a brilliant tool but to shut us down with no notice like that is not nice by any standard.

Flash,you are spot on,but it merely shows how incredibly stupid so many of the "P" management are.
Can they not see the hypocrisy?Nico even did the original voice-over for the Ad!

If "P" do manage to survive as the main operators,the only senior person who I believe can see the big picture is Vee Moodly.
IMO the best chance of getting anything positive to make him the starting point

Formgrids will be back online shortly whilst the battle continues...
