Duritz - congrats on the recent success.
The sunnies help my image, not sure about my punting but at least they look good!

I agree with what you're saying re international ratings. A uniform rating system from the users standpoint, would open a whole range of interesting possibilities and one that i will look forward to following.

From your discussions with them, do you have any inkling of the costs involved? I am assuming different "package" levels will be available. From memory i don't think present offerings are prohibitively expensive - $40 a month or so although i can't recall what that was for.

Enough said - i will certainly look forward to seeing your posts and following (hopefully) your successes

Yeah a bloke there told me they were working on $40 a month for complete access to all the ratings on all their guides in Aus and NZ, per month, including gSt. They are also going to have computerised rating selections for most races every day and an analyst's selections and prices on a wed and sat, but he didn't tell me how much those extras would cost. From their current pricing model, I would suspect they would be less than the 40 per month, and he did say you CAN have one without the other, ie you can get just tips, or just ratings on guides, or both etc.
