Until now, industry people overseas are finding it hard to keep abreast of what’s going on in Malaysia and Singapore. There is virtually no coverage of racing in this region in their newspapers. Monthly articles in their magazines carry news that are at least two months old.For breeders who want to keep tab of the exploits of the horses they bred, there is the official Malayan Racing Association publication TRACKFORM. But this is published fortnightly, and overseas subscribers receive them at least three weeks after the races are run.

For local racing enthusiasts, form guide to races comes in the form of racing guides which are published two days before a race meeting (these cost RM5.00 or S$3.50 each), or they can opt for the newspapers but such form guide are only available on race mornings.

But with Turf Online, they can access information of any horse at any time of the day of week, without having to wait for the racing guides.
