Racing Form Website

@ easy - stop being a jerk!
No prizes for guessing that I love Formgrids, but well done Racing Form Za - we need choices, options and more, not less - go for it, support will grow.

Wishing you all of the best!

So, u see - I agree with my good mate Flash!

I will also register with nagme and racingform
I have tried Formgrids but somehow it beats me
Maybe it's just me being stupid but for the life of me I am lost there:S

I know it's a good product 'cos everyone else is raving about it [Formgrids,that is](tu)

Goosen

i am not being a puller, not till 22H00 anyways (thats the time lolly badcock comes on channel 906)


All i am saying is that the DATA belongs to the operator, Formgrids asked for help and got bugger all. If this orginization is obtaining the data for free then its bolloxxxxxx if its parsing illegally (mazeltof) if its paying for the data then crazy......

If..... small big word Easy....

Hi there.
Registered on your site but when I went to click on the link on the confirmation email you sent me , the link wouldn't open. Do you know why this is so ?

What word must Easy use?
The guy is asking a good ?
Do u know more than u are saying
That wont be the first time now would it,

@robmartza,

Strange, I log all mails sent, opened your confirmation link, clicked it, your account verified normally. You can log in now with your email and password.

Thank you to the users who have signed up and sent feedback.

Very happy to see that most users are pretty sharp in figuring out we have unraced 2 year olds in our system as well and are following them, these horses are not available in the majority of other services as they only store raced horses and results.

We have planned downtime at midnight tonight to load new features, the project roadmap (moving to a new page) on the homepage will be making way for our first release of the results dashboard, so please come by tomorrow and have a look, same goes for breeders, we have breeder alerts ready to ship.

The Clairwood racecard for Saturday just went live and I can see users getting notifications for the racemeeting. Nice to see a system getting used and owners/punters getting mail.

Yep, it's all sorted. Thank-you...

Hi guys,

Been many late nights but reckon it's time for an update, we are extremely busy but figured we can put a few things out into the wild once again for feedback.

*Sire Alerts are now 100% ready - so if you follow a stallion you can now get emails summarised per meeting in advance as the cards come out.
*Breeder alerts also shipped, same applies.
*Basic racecards are out - they are exactly that, basic, we are still playing with layouts and content but we like where we are heading. A lot of our work this week starting today is in this area. (Historic form views, trainer, jock combinations, MR graphs (sand & turf etc) Click on any race meeting on the homepage to open a race card.
*Results Dashboard (home page) is live but we still have to load a LOT of trainer and jockey photos, you can click almost anywhere on the dashboard, trainers, jocks, sires, dams, horse name, race title)
*As an excercise to test our data structures we created "nicks", under any stallions profile (search for a stallion in the menu, click on the sires name and click on the nicks tab) shows how a stallion has performed over +- last 8 years with specific broodmare sires in terms of winners to runners, you can also drill into the actual horses that make out the totals. For instance Var has been 9/9 with National Assembly mares, winners to runners that is, we have requirements for many of these types of reports and its exciting stuff.

*Horse, Jockey, Trainer, Sire etc profile pages are live but by NO means even near complete, you can however see the basics and click on anything and drill in:
*For jocks you can see their engagements
*Breeders can see their runners carded (if you dont want to subscribe to mails) and all horses bred in recent times
*Sires runners carded and horses sired in recent years
*Trainers runners carded

This week we are working on making things more pleasing on the eye and adding raceresult and "scorecard" views. If all goes well we will deploy another release this coming weekend.

Any issues feel free to PM or if you're logged in to the site you are able to send us messages there.

Thanks to those users who are following horses already using the alerts.
