New TAB website - what can't you find?


The Crucible

Recommended Posts

There are a few things I'm used to accessing on the old TAB website, but I can't find on the new site.

I'll list them here, because some of you may have found them and could perhaps tell me where to find them.  Or perhaps someone from the TAB will read this and respond - I've emailed them but have not had any response.  Please feel free to add things that you can't find:

- jockey index for a particular meeting

- trainer index for a particular meeting

- jockey's book of rides - used to be able to click on their name and see all of their rides for the day (similar to the index), as well as their strike rates

- quinella dividends

Just managed to find Will Pays so have taken that off my list.

Click on Extended Form.

Opens in new window.

Point to a jockey and click.

Point to 'Jockey' (next to 'Overview') and click.

That will show jockeys declared rides.

Might be an easier way, but I haven't been able to find it on this 50 million dollar piece of crap.

Barryb you post a screen shot of the indexes but not the link.

That's a bit like showing us the treasure while hiding the map or not giving any clues.

Still haven't got my password reset email.

Chief,  a mate of mine is still waiting for the email for password reset. I'm wondering if you have changed email addresses since you opened your TAB account ..i know he has done so at least twice, so they may have replied to you but you dont know it!

To get the trainers, sires, jockeys info you want, go to Extended Form and the field for a race is presented similarly to the old site (thank God).  One 'blip' though in Extended Form that I've found so far ...weights are not listed! So if you want to do serious form analysis using Extended Form info, you cant see at a glance the weight a horse is carrying!

Sorry Chief,  below is the step by step instructions. I keep over estimating peoples intelligence.

Click extended form

Cliock on the jockey/trainer name you want to look at. ie Opie Bosson

Then click on the word jockey, trainer or sire

I've checked all of my email addresses.  If I used the wrong one why did the system congratulate me with a big green tick and say the email was on its way?

Yes I'm only intelligent enough to set up a new website that works.  On my own by the way.  You want to hear the arguments I have with my team.

good point! I expect the answer is that the green tick and message  is an automatically generated response sent to everyone who clicks on that option. Where they've sent to (and if its been successful) is clearly the issue for many frustrated account holders this week!

Wasn't meant as a reference to you chief, however I have met some of the most intelligent people whom lack the commonsence to find there way out of a wet paper bag.

For the list of improvements: Any chance that the results could be formatted in low-to-high race meeting number order, please? Making this change will see northern/central galloping meetings at the top of the dropdown box and the  meaningless result somewhere obscure much further down (where it should be). The current view annoys the c&*p out of me.

Actually I have now found where my favourites are. In fact they are still there from the previous site. 

However I am not getting notifications because the new site says that my email address is missing and it won’t accept it when I try to enter it!

Anyone else having the same problem regarding their email address?

In your account go to profile and you should be able to re-enter it there?

What the race is worth

A. not enough to justify the expenses of racing a horse as an owner...(meeting related costs)...

B. Seriously though, on Baz,s advice... take a deep breathe...be patient and navigate your way around the site !

C. If at 1st you don,t succeed...Breathe in. breathe out and try again.

D. The new www.tab.co.nz homepage seems/is more of an invitation to have a crack at your 1st sports bet.

(e.g Gudagai Goanna,s V Ayres Rock Dingo,s)

SO...top left hand corner you will see TAB then on its right, Racing,...click on racing

next page appears...under Racing...left to right...(Todays Racing,results,futures,challenges pdf form)

HA,HA..wait for it ! you are just about there... click pdf form

go to meeting you want ... a myriad of choices ( i personally click easy form and A4 colour tabs up to make my selections ! )...

A4 COLOUR HAS THE EXACT BREAKDOWN OF PRIZE MONEY !

WARNING   ; dont try to extract this info from the site in any other fashion...IT COULD ENDANGER YOUR HEALTH !

I DONT MIND THE KNEW SITE AFTER A HELL OF ALOT OF SELF EDUCATION ...

A HOW TO OPERATE NEW SITE ATTACHMENT, OR E-MAIL...WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS PAINFULL !
