We now just await past results to fill up the grids and I've just been in touch with Dennis Wesson of Gold Circle as we have an agreement with them, he said that he has requested historical data for Formgrids from Rob Scott at Telly Track as they now apparently control the data on behalf of the partnership

Mister a, as much as I wont use Racebook out of pure principle, I must admit I have kept an eye out on their website and as much as it pains me to say they do have some really good features (none work and I am sure none will be free) but none the less some really nice features.

I am so happy formgrids will be back soon and wish you all the best, but I do suggest either getting some funding or using the crowd funding to maintain your website as there will be plenty other form readers that will move to anything they feel will be more beneficial to their studies.

PS - Not sure who did it but I will say that the stipes report that whoever posted in the comments section was by far the most beneficial of tools for me on FG.
I didn't choose the #puntlife, the #puntlife chose me!

Richie77 I did many presentations to the RA to try work together and to implement many ad ons for owners, trainers, punters, breeders etc and there are many things on the current FGS that do most things anyway but the point is these people cant just copy my concept and use it as their own, i designed and had it built and ran it for 14 years at a huge cost to myself, we spent years teaching people how the concept works and now the whole industry uses it thanks to me and my staff, let them design their own form tool, they want to come in and take over the base that I nurtured and developed for 14 long years, you see a gap in the market but don't steal another mans labor and claim it as your own, I have spoken to Mark Bass and offered to help them develop their own concept and not to copy mine, he has asked me for an email to show and discuss with his partners, we knew long ago Divan Moller was asked by Rob Scott to design a website like FGS

so why did they not just get all the breeders, trainers etc and sponsor form grids - could have worked with you on their sales site and upcoming sales etc

mr hawaii i've got no idea, I tried many many doors but the decision makers kept refusing, I also tried to get a join up of Computaform and FGS for the benefit of the industry but to no avail, I think someone was hoping we disappear and a replacement site similar to FGS is created, crazy how Divan kept developing a similar website to us when were were up and running and there was no need for a copy of what was already working well
