Letter of the Week

The end of the affair

 

Well, it’s finally arrived — my time to say goodbye.

I have really enjoyed your publication since I came across it more than 15 years ago and still believe it is the best punting pages going around. It may not give the most detailed of form guides but what I like, and probably most other punters, is the accompanying comments. That is what makes yours such an exceptional guide.

I must admit, though, Richo’s banter is beautiful, the cryptic tips have me scratching my head and the jury is still out on whether Richard Callander is:

a) chief promoter of Sportingbet;

b) chief promoter of himself;

c) sometime racing journalist; or

d) all of the above.

As I will soon be domiciled near Hawera, New Zealand, I can tell you that I will definately miss your publication and the sooner your hierarchy wake up to the fact that they could get a much bigger circulation base if they decided to sell the paper via the web the better off they would be. (Less trees, less carbon tax.)

Once over there I will send an e-mail and if ever it does happen you can advise me.

All the best for the future and get the team to keep up the excellent work
