    Racing Post and Weekender

    I presume the RP isn't being produced these days but was wondering if anyone has heard when it will re-srtart?

    I'm more concerned about the Weekender as I rely heavily upon the form pullouts and with French racing back I was wondering if anyone has seen it in the shops as the results include French form at Listed level and above.

    I haven't seen it anywhere up here.

    Just had an e-mail saying it returns Monday 1st June, to coincide with the (probable) restart of racing.

    Thought they might have rushed out a Weekender this week. We're on such short rations it would have been gobbled up.

    My offer is a lot less generous. Instead of £349 for the year, they're offering it at £314, which is a mere £35 less. No promo code is mentioned.

    Strange that, Grey. I took the offer on 1st June. Suggest you contact them and say so.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's a difference in treatment of subscribers in Ireland, but it's worth inquiring right enough.

    I’ve had no reply to my inquiry to the Post. Unfortunately I can’t say I’m surprised.

    I emailed the Weekender last week to complain [politely] that SteveM's dosage analysis for the Guineas was dropped.

    I haven't had an acknowledgment of the message.

    I tried to access the cheap offer with the code above but was told my email address is already registered with them. My application didn't get any further than that.

    The email that I received clearly stated for new customers only.

    Maybe so, Archie, but I'm definitely not one.

    For what it's worth, I've just had another email offering 3 months for £10 with the code '3FOR10'. In the small print is this:

    Offers available only to owners of email address to which offer email has been sent to.

    That probably explains it. I've never received the email.

    It really bugs me when I have been a loyal customer of a company for many years and am excluded from offers. Really gets my goat.
