Stupid Questions

Gypsy Island declared for Thursday - if she wins, when does her novice status end? Am i right in saying she is a novice for the full season ahead?

She's going to be an old Novice hurdler (7yo now, 8yo by next March) so maybe they could accelerate her through the novice hurdles in the summer and widen the scope for her plans at the end of the season, including (if she is up to it) open graded races.

Is she priced up for the Novice Hurdle?
 
I know thers a lot of bigger hitters on here than me. BUT has anyone else got a problem with 365 streams? I can only watch them now when my display settings are set to 100% not the recommended 150% my laptop says to use. Im not saying the 100% pic is small but my face looks like a Chinese man having a wank as the pics so small!!
I have just got ?30 bet credits off them and a promise they wont kill my ante post bets even if i never bet with them again this year!!! Anyone got the same issues?

I have to reduce my screen zoom to 75% on my chromebook to watch the streams, but can then increase the picture with my stubby/greasy fingers. I don't use my wanking hand. :highly_amused:
But it's not ideal.
Been watching a lot of racing on the youtube channel Horse racing global.
They are a couple of seconds behind but have been showing all UK and Irish racing for free on their feed/channel over the last couple of weeks.

Cheers Q. Once i go to 100% i get a pic but if i then go to above that i get sweet FA. William Hill np,Skybet Np,Coral np. Just thought 365 might have been taking the p155.
 
Having had a few of my accounts closed, I am starting to go back into the shops even for antepost betting. Sometimes this can be 8-9 months out.
1) will the receipts fade after 9 months?
2) if they do fade, how can I stop this from happening?

thanks in advance

I photograph every antepost bet shop slip I have placed, on my phone or Ipad and save them in a Folder on the Ipad.

So if they go missing, I have a photo of them on the day.

I also put these bets on a spreadsheet on XL on my phone/Ipad, with the date and shop I placed the bet in.

Great idea Sax, I didn't even think to take a pic and put it in a folder on the iPad.

Does anyone use either of the online subscriptions for the racing post?

Do you find them worth the prices?

I have used both, and to me, with the amount of research of races I do, I couldn't do without it.

Videos are key too, you get this with the Ultimate for UK and Irish racing.

The only other place to get those in decent full format, are subscribing to Racing TV (for Irish and most UK tracks) and Free via ATR (for their UK tracks shown on Sky Sports Racing).

I used to use that, but the pictures were smaller and search a bit more fiddly. But they were free.

Racing TV's pictures are better than anyone elses by far.

Racing Post's are inferior but good enough, and its great to be able to press on the video replay button when you are on that horses profile, or race result, its so quick.
