    Business or pleasure?
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    tbh I visit all the ones in the Poll, and others, just for interest , but none of them to "study form". ATR has the best tracker for the TTF so tend to have that tab open all the time during the Winter.

    They are all blocked in my work which is where I do most of my browsing - Sporting Life just recently changed to blocked - so if there is something that has been altered, get it unaltered tout-suite!!

    I would make it a rule to quit a job that is restrictive in anything personal because at the end of day you spend more time at work than anywhere else. Ask first to unblock you and then quit.

    This seems like sterling advice. I've handed in my notice.

    I guess you’ve moved around a fair bit in your career then

    ATR and Sporting Life for me

    If moving around keeps you from becoming a slave, then sure do it if/when you have an option. If you think restriction of personal nature is not a form of slavery then think again. They'd also save money firing that sysadmin that does nothing but spy on you and blocking websites.

    I use ATR for video replays, and irishracing for results and a first look at race cards. I then use the Racing Post for races I want to concentrate on.

    I know a lot of you hate the RP, and I've had my frustrations with them too, the latest being their very heavy and slow logging in procedure, but their database holds a lot of information that can't be got elsewhere.

    I used the Sporting Life for years and only used the RP to check if horses had run in ptp or races abroad

    The sporting Life you could see everything at a glance and get an immediate feel for the race but now it's a nightmare spread out like monday's washing.

    ATR is what I use everyday now and must say the layout is excellent and you can see the entire field up to about 15 runners without scrolling.

    Good for us old guys who forget what we just looked at if we have to scroll down

    Try downloading the Geeks Toy you get 14 days free trial...as it is a ro-BOT it I believe connects you straight to the exchange and bypass's normall betfair's URL.

    Cost you nowts to find out if you can download it...the desktop shortcut does say Geek Toy (betfair) but you can rename it or hide it among your porn movies lol

    I also use ATR for replays but just discovered (didn't know) that Betfair cover all the courses and you can pretty much replay any race.
