26 degrees yesterday with plenty of sunshine. If you know the UK then you will expect this to be followed for upto a week of rain and thunderstorms; as I look out the window it is just starting to rain.

Thanks for your reply on BAN. I am surprised by what you say as the UK version must be different. You make up your mind which race you would like to rate and click on this in the day's events. The list of runners then appears and with one more click you get the ratings. In fact, it is the simplest software I have ever come across in my 5 years or so of dabbling with horses and computers. Do you think it is not the Australian version that is being touted here at this time? I have only tried the trial package but not seriously at the present time. I will keep you posted on this.

Good Luck to you and fellow horse racing fans
