And you actually liked their old format? It was an utter mess and anything different than that is an improvement.

I understand what you're saying, but the new site appears to have lost a lot of the 'perks' the old one offered.. including: 1)the PPs for stakes nominations are gone 2) video archive.. it appears to be ALL through racereplays.com now.. great for "day of" races, but where are the old archives of stakes races?? (including Secretariat's Belmont?!?) 3) Now all Results & Entries are through equibase.com..-the old system allowed you to look up results from MONTHS AGO for free, and the PROGRAM POSITIONS showed betting options per race and actual horse entry numbers vs. post positions (ala equibase).. 4) NYRA contests... non-existent at this point (maybe it will return, we'll see) 5) I'm sure there are other things I'm can't think of right now, but they'll surface.

I admit, I haven't fully explored the site, so maybe some of these things are still there, I haven't found them yet. But what I've seen so far is disappointing considering what is now not available at the web site. It's probably the result of consolidation, which is their choice, of course.
