    For once they should be applauded. That's a neat little trick to get the last few remaining flat racing fans into a proper sport.

    I met Tom Kerr a while back, the year Raise The Beat ran in Cheltenham. He was modest and genuinely interested in racing, so I wish him well.

    Don't know what Alan Crowhurst must think when his name is put against articles like "Greatrex bullish over the chances of exciting prospect Emitom" and they pay him.....good photographer btw not knocking him.

    I can just imagine the interview.......Do you think Emitom has a chance today?............"Geezus Christ man wtf kinda question is that he's 1/8 you idiot".............Can I quote you? lol

    But really it's not the reporter it's the Editor.

    The man must have **** for brains...........Like name one racing person who looked at that article and didn't sarcastically think............. "Oh geez thanks I'll just run to the bank"

    For the next NH season ill be purchasing a far better laptop and keeping spreadsheets to try and help me determine were im going right and wrong in terms of what im betting on. Im certainly not losing much, im just looking at different angles that may help me along the way. Keeping my own figures where I can and even looking at timings of races is something ill be doing myself rather than relying on other people on Twitter or on here to post such stuff.

    I see Racing post gives you literally everything you need to know etc with racing replays. Its £30 a month. Is it worth it? Anyone have it? Been mulling over it for a while now, somethings just putting me off it though.

    Replays available free on SL, ATR & BHA websites; I pay RP c14.50 per month for the basic package which gives all I need. Also includes RPR & Topspeed ratings.
    ATR sectionals etc. are the bee's knees, imo. Bet 365 also have replays.

    I have it but I had the iPad Newspaper app, which I thought was excellent and they stopped producing that and converted everybody over to the RP package you mention. I still like being able to download the paper to my iPad each day (can also download to laptop) but I find it a bit fiddly to navigate/zoom etc. so find myself using the online content more.

    In terms of replays, it's okay but I have an RTV subscription and prefer to watch them on there as it just seems more stable and responsive.

    The short answer:- is it worth it?, I'd say yes - just about - at a £1 a day but it depends on what £30 a month means to each I guess.

    Personally, i'd say you're better off buying an iPad and using that. Equally, if you set up a google drive account, you can use google sheets and then you don't have to pay for a Microsoft package. Google sheets, you can also use on the iPad, your phone etc.

    I think that sounds okay if you're heavily into the sport and want to access stuff every day but it's not for someone like me. Apart from site itself being a dogs dinner.

    The search facility hasn't improved. Get a name slightly wrong and you've no chance of finding what you're looking for.

    There was a time I'd have said I would buy the RP daily if it cost only 50p or so. I wouldn't pay even that now for it.

    Having said that, I would go back to subscribing to the RP site if they went back to the original price and site rather than the Beta format which just doesn't work for my purposes.
