PrePost Prices online?

[stebbo]

Hi All,

does anyone know of a site where you can get prepost prices online? I don't mind paying a small amount for them.

I know I can get them in the paper, but I'm really not interested in buying a whole newspaper just for the prepost prices.

Cheers,
Chris.

Stebbo, from memory I think they have them online at WA tab site.

thats the link...very good site for that

[sportznut]

Yeah, good site. When do they put the price forecasts on there, Shaun? Early in the morning?

The day before....you can choose what day top look at just these are the same prices printed in out local race paper and that is printed a few day in advance....the only thing i don't like about that site is as the races are run the prices are replaced with race results but it is a good site....they cover trots and dogs as well

[sportznut]

Yeah, it looks great. It also has the last 4 starts listed there as well which is good. I agree that it's a bit disappointing that they remove all the info once the race is over.

Hey, does anyone know if these prices are the same ones found in eastern states newspapers as well? It would certainly be a great help if they were!!!

Just did a random check comparing with today's Sydney Morning Herald. They seem to be the same; BUT are updated taking account of scratchings --- which is a plus, I guess.

Note what it says on the site: "Price forecasts published for each race guide are based on a computer program."

******************************
Most of the pre-post prices are provided by the one company, The Ratings Bureau, which provides the prices for the WA site TABOnline.

There are a few exceptions such as the Herald-Sun and the Winning Post in Melbourne, whose prices are provided by ex-bookie Alf Blamey and the Melbourne Age, whose prices are provied by form analyst Ray Huxley.

Thanks, La Mer. Interesting :roll:

[sportznut]

Yeah, great. If it is actually the case that the prices on that site are basically the same as in most papers around the country, that will make life a heck of a lot easier for people like me who use pre-post markets a lot.

I've just checked and they already have the form and prices up for tomorrow's meetings. What a great site!!!

In the Courier Mail today, they've used the prices from the WA TAB site for Stawell and Wagga, but they've used prices from the Racenet site for Cessnock.

[stebbo]

Hi Sportznut,

where on the racenet site do you find the pricing information? I've just had a look but can't seem to find any pricing.

Cheers,
Chris.

Stebbo,

I printed out the Cessnock acceptances from the Racenet site and they had prices for all the runners. There were no prices for Wagga and there were none for today's racing, but they do have prices for Wyong tomorrow. So it's a bit hit and miss.

By the way, I compared the two sets of prices for Cessnock yesterday, and those given out on the WA site were FAR more accurate than those from the Racenet site. In fact, the horse they had listed as favourite won 6 out of the 7 races!!!

In today's Courier Mail, all the prices were the same as on the WA TAB site and I'd suggest that's probably the case on most days.

Stebbo, you can also get pre-post prices on that fantastic American website which concentrates on Aussie racing.

Hi Sportznut,

thanks for that... just had a look at this site, and it's quite interesting. I like the printable format of their "morning line" prices sheet...

Do you have any idea where these prices come from? Or how they compare to the one's we'd get here in the papers?

Cheers,
Chris.

[sportznut]

Stebbo,

As far as I can see, they are exactly the same as the prices we get in our papers, but you can often get them up to 2 or 3 days before the meeting is to be run which is BRILLIANT!!!

See WA can provide more than just a champion horse
