Thank you for considering subscribing to
SPEEDRATINGS. By now you have reached an estimation of
its value. The question to be posed now is: how much does
it cost?
The answer is: It doesn't cost nearly as much as it is
worth.
Speedratings is structured in the format of an
information publication. It is in that respect that we
offer SPEEDRATINGS on a subscription basis. The
subscription price will be $30.00 for two months release
of SPEEDRATINGS.The $15.00 per month is incredible value
when compared to some of the other services provided,
both on the internet or by telephone (who charge as much
or more as a DAILY rate.). With so many race meetings to
be covered the cost to the subscriber is approximately
the cost of a daily newspaper. We can offer these prices
because we operate with minimal overheads. We do not
offer credit card services because the additional cost of
this function is always passed on to you the
consumer.
During the months of November and December there will
be 21 metropolitan meetings covered. This equates to each
of these meetings costing a meagre $1.42 per day. Less
than a racebook. In addition, as a commercial service, we
will now provide coverage of provincial race meetings
where warranted.
You have by now read (I hope) all of the pages of
information and data offered for your consideration.
Every race meeting that we have covered is on open
display, warts and all, every loss and every profit. We
are not infallible; we cannot win every race. But if you
have studied our history you must acknowledge that
SPEEDRATINGS is a service of merit. It is full of
information and advice that no serious punter should be
without. It is with full knowledge of the success and
potential of SPEEDRATINGS that I must add that I cannot
guarantee that you will win using SPEEDRATINGS. We cannot
watch over your shoulder and stop you from doing
something that we would not recommend. We cannot stop an
errant Irish jockey from knocking over Jezabeel in the
Caulfield Cup when SPEEDRATINGS was sure to collect. Fate
sometimes intervenes. I win because I treat horse racing
with due respect. I love everything about horse
racing-but I still treat it as a business. This does not
mean that you should not enjoy the punt, rather, with
SPEEDRATINGS it will be more enjoyable because of the
constant value offered to you by our selections. We also
promise that we will continue to maintain a high quality
service and offer improvements as they arise. We will do
our best to achieve success for our clients.
In the near future SPEEDRATINGS will incorporate
SYDNEY racing as well as MELBOURNE. We anticipate that we
will possess a viable Sydney data base early in the new
year, 1999, but we will not release it to the public
until it has been thoroughly tested over many sample
meetings. This is an example of the improvements and
increased services to be offered in the future.
It is our wish that subscribers should access our NEWS
AND VIEWS page on a regular basis to read opinion and
editorials and to keep up with the comings and goings of
expatriated racehorses, those leaving our shores, those
missing-in-action, and those deceased. We will also
include news of interest from the Breeding Industry for
the real devotees of the Racing Game.
