I still use the old site for my blackbook and looking at up coming fields on my IPad.
There I still get the jockeys silk colours beside each horse3. This doesnt happen on the new site. No jock colours available. Rather oddly, despite them showing up on the old site on my ipad and phone they do not appear on the old site on my home PC what the hell is going on  Anyone else having the same issues? |

I get colours on my laptop on both sites SITW. Don't use phone apps.
Wasn't aware they still did fields on the old site so thanks for the heads up. Despite giving them a wrap for the new site previously I've decided I prefer the simplicity of the old format as a first glance tool - esp wrt the weights which are buried in the detail on the new format. Started using Racing Aus instead but I'll bookmark Racenet old site now and go back to that. For others who didn't like the change here's the URL: https://old.racenet.com.au/

They have - they always close comments where there is an investigation pending.

I saw mention earlier this week of them probably headed in a subscriber only direction & sure enough
 As a user of the Blackbook feature if you would like to continue obtaining access to your Blackbook or adding/making adjustments to runners, Jockeys, Trainers, Sires & Dams, from 8 February 2022 you will need to be a paying member. But don’t worry your current preferences will be retained. Please note that if you choose not to subscribe, you will lose access to your current Blackbook on 8 February 2022, meaning you will not be able to edit or login to your Blackbook. |

Racenet want people to pay to read a Richard Callander article.
Good luck with that

Obviously they don't hold Bruce in such high esteem as his is still free - or was y/day

So now they are charging for the form guide fiddlesticks. I'm not willing to pay more to bet than I already do.
I really liked the layout and features of the racenet form guide. This move will definitely make me bet a lot less. Any good alternatives out there?

Racenet and punters expected an avalanche of protest.The fact is that these grubs are thinking ten years ahead when most of the current disaffected punters have died off and they can manipulate their fees to suit themselves.

I use then to check the tab market. I'll be all over the shop in the winners and roughies comp. My roughies will be 4/1 shots instead of 15/1. Oh well.

I couldn't agree more on all points! 1st Expertform disappeared & now Racenet whose form I was comfortable with bar some of the inane comments which they'll need to tidy up if people are paying for the service. |

SKY Racing (TAB) tried for years to get subscription for SKY 2 racing on Foxtel (which basically amounted to a second subscription on top of Foxtel). Even tried slipping the odd major race / meeting onto it to try to force the issue. Gave up in the end - now free like SKY 1
So i'd suggest Racenet will struggle its arse off getting punters to subscribe. Christ - most will lose hundreds a day - but wont buy themselves a pie with sauce if they are losing. Funny lot in the main. Knew a fellow who would lose 5 to 10k on a bad day - them make his missus go to Flemington markets for groceries to save a quid  Squillion good form services out there. Think TAB's offer is pretty reasonable. Its what you get used too. As for the spuikers - na - no thanks !

Yet try watching Sky 1 and 2 plus Racing.com on Foxtel and you will have 3 unwatchable channels broadcast in a very low bitrate SD, Poxtel refuse to join the 21st century.

A retraction of the below is in order after fact checking  Whilst the form guide has significant upgrades, it's still available to us mere plebs..............for how long remains to be seen  At least it saves me time looking for a suitable replacement

I'm still getting emails for my blackbook. Just got one a few hours ago.
I have tried to access it over the last several months to a year to edit the blackbook but it would never allow me to get into it.

I have to admit that any time I've emailed them with issues, they've replied the same day. Last week I had no login option so contacted them with the result that Firefox was the issue, Chrome is fine. I was also thanked for bringing up the issue.
Yes, my BBs have continued too  |

The deal is $19.95 each month for the analysts tips ( not much to get me to pay for there), the full career runs for a runner (do not need a horses run two years ago for the current form, unless it is to see if they handle wet or dry tracks), and for some writers articles (racenet exclusive such as Bruce Clark and Richie Callander and so for me nothing to get me to subscribe to there).
I can live with the basic form guide and the articles which are shared with the major newspapers and leave the subscription content, without missing out.

Why has racenet charged forum contributors to post?
It was a very busy forum I am hoping some migrate across to this site

The padlocks have been removed from the form filters. I can bet again.

These are the comments that irk me the most & seen regularly as in several times a day 
Maiden race: "Yet to break out of maiden grade after 19 attempts and wide barrier
is a concern. Has not won at Albury previously. Needs the breaks."
I only noticed as it won R2 but geez, you wouldn't want to be paying for such Einstein-like revelations  |

I'm always happy to give credit when it's deserved & their latest addition to the form 'legend' is to be applauded
 (HT) standing for Home TrackAbout a year ago, I suggested a trained on track addition was important info that no form guide provided, unlike in the long distant past They always reply & I got a 'we'll see what can be done'.I was pleasantly surprised to see this addition a couple of days ago so who knows, I may even pull on the punting boots again |
