Important - Wizard Key Reports Availability Schedule
At the Wizard we pride ourselves on delivering a racing information services that can genuinely meet the needs of both the casual bettor and the most knowledgeable and experienced form analysts. In our two-years quest to re-develop the Wizard into the unique racing information service it has now become we have never lost sight of that goal.
In the pursuit of this goal, we have greatly increased the range and quality of the form information accessible through the Wizard's interactive database, and especially via the unique daily Wizard Reports which deliver key ratings/form information in a concentrated, user-friendly, format.
But this has had operational consequences.
Despite substantially upgrading our (processing) computers and enhancing server access it has become increasingly difficult to deliver all the key Wizard reports at the initially planned times on raceday. Therefore, we are making some adjustments to availability times. The full details of the new schedule follow:
