Not sure why they have a Turf Digest selection each race though when it’s a Best Bets.Anyway overall a thumbs up from this corner. how is it more spacious? It is not easier to read the synopsis is not nice add on but bull shit opinion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puha 2,177 Report post Posted April 16, 2018 That’s the way I see it far easier to read with the gaps between lines etc. I was thinking I ll buy one and that would be it but that’s not the case quite like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted April 20, 2018 I didn't see last weeks - but just picked one up. It is a shock to the system initially Few positives - incl left and right hand stats, like the separate column for Class rating of races last few starts. Not sure why last 5 starts shown in stats area ?? I usually use mine to scribble notes all over from study before I head on track - not convinced there is as much room for those - but that may be a personal issue. So bit of a mixed bag overall for me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Thistle 133 Report post Posted June 5, 2018 I see that the midweek fields for NZ gallops, in the new Best Bets format, are now being sent out from Petone in the name of Hugh Robinson, Betting Operations Manager, NZRB. They used to be sent from Stanley Street from Allan Caddy, Manager Racing Form Publication. I hope Allan hasn't been forced out only to be replaced by a suit paid 3 times as much. I've never met Allan, but in his emails with the fields he always had time to offer a brief greeting or best wishes on the punt. The new chap lacks the grace to add any such recognition that he is sending email to people, not automatons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
