For those who are not already aware, I am a product analyst at TwinSpires. I've been with the company for over 10 years in a wide variety of positions, most recently as Director of Marketing (promos and retention). We released a new homepage and improved wagering interface today, I'd love to get feedback from players. Good, bad, and otherwise. Feel free to private message me if you want.

thanks,

B

Looks really good. Just briefly used yesterday would like to see jockey/trainer % but not sure it's possible with the room you have.

I think Twinspires was better 6 years ago than it is now. I loved the old style. I could look at the horses,Tote board, and bet all on one screen.

You're talking about the old Classic? Have you checked out our new interface, we've tried to meld the old and new. This is still a work in progress, but the bottom nav (which can be expanded or hidden), includes both 'upnext' like TV, and your 'favorites' like old Classic.

We've added the ability to place a bet from any of the "angles" tabs, and more horse/tainer/jockey info than before. Please feel free to reach out to me off this forum.

it's just so "Busy" , with all these windows and tabs. The old Site had everything on one page. Simple and easy.I had the feed, next to that was the odds, down below was different tracks. None of the jumping around and constant clicking. That's the problem with everything nowadays. People think they constantly have to "improve" things, when in reality they should just leave things alone. Just my opinion. I'm sure some people like it.

I couldn't find Beulah Park?

But seriously I like it. The wager pad on the right is confusing as you can bet there but not sure how as opposed to the click on bet arrow. Seems a pop-up window and the right side betting platform are redundant?

I'm sure you can tell but over the years you've added more and more of the handicapping into the site itself while don't most of us use the PP's?

It's better than the last version.

Nice to see an old name.

It's amazing but you guys at TwinSpires have outdone yourself. This is the 2nd upgrade that keeps getting progressively worse. The mobile version is unbelievable. Who came up with the idea to list horses non sequentially for multi-race bets?

Didn't you test this upgrade with anybody who bets?

Please add option in preferences to go back to the Classic from 2 versions ago.
I will be looking at Xpressbet and NYRAbets.
