Default Where do you get acceptances?

Where do you guys get acceptances for upcoming meetings on the net?

Up until a couple of days ago I used to download the acceptances for meetings from OZRACING. They had all the upcoming meetings in nice easy HTML which I could read into my data base with no trouble. Now they've moved all their info to a new site which is wrapped up in Javascript or something and I can't read it any more.

If anyone knows of any sites that have all the upcoming meetings acceptances with jockeys and weights, etc I'd be grateful of the addresses. The more the better (tee hee) so I can find the easiest to download.

Thanks guys.

KV

Royally cheeses me off as well.
I used to copy and paste the fields into word, complete with the grid lines which allowed me to add columns to the table for comments etc.
The only way I can get it onto my computer now is to email the page to myself, save it as text, copy and paste it into word.
Trouble is there is no gridlines and the info is just a jumble.
They must have known I was getting something useful for nothing.

For all NSW racing acceptances I have found racing NSW site best - Daily diary. Acceptances are usually available a few days prior to event.

Thanks for your help guys, I'm sure I can find something there that works for me.

Brave Chief and Imagele - It may only be explorer that stops you copying and pasting. I tried an old version of OPERA - a browser I downloaded for free some time ago. It loads the new site down and allows you to copy and paste from it.
Don't tell RSB or they'll likely nobble that too.

Why the Racing services bureau or anyone in the racing industry would want to stop punters from getting access to information in a useful form is beyond me.
We use this information to facilitate gambling on their product, thus keeping them in business.
The changes they have made to the acceptances format have effectively put me out of business.
The information in it's current form is no different to having the fields in front of you from the daily papers.
The old format allowed me to delete scratchings, include missing riders and replacements and record observations on past performances relative to the chances of the horse in today's event.
It enabled me to record finishing positions etc., for future reference.
I am back to using a pen and paper and my computer is next door to useless.
So much for technology.
