Jim, I tried your link - it still takes me to a race coming up instead of the Classic.
I did find it funny - and it goes to the intelligence of the those idiots who run TS - the first screen I get to says WELCOME, please sign in using the form on the left.......and the form is on the RIGHT!  Morons!
Apparently, selecting a preference is only for the current session.
Maybe TS will hire some high school kid to clean up their incompetent programming that is not capable of setting a preference that works.

This is the best part.....
It asks you what your "preference" is.....
Turned it on....select "Classic"
Guess where it goes when you log in again.....
You got it.....CRAP
So what does it remember?
I know...That we are axxholes...for coming back

My workaround was for people that did not have that option Mike. You are evidently a vip member, so my post was not directed to you. I was trying to help, and caused confusion. No good deed goes unpunished.

OOOOOO...so sorry...I thought it was a DIRECT Link that we can bookmark...
See what TS is doing to me....making me do stupid things too
I WAS a VIP?????

Tom,
My workaround was for those of us that do not even have the preference. I have no idea how it works for VIP members with that preference.

I have the option and am surprised I am a VIP. My current balance is $.80 and when I do deposit it is $100 at a time usually with a gap of a month or more between. I had a YouBet account for a long time and maybe that carried over. Don't tell them though! I don't want to lose my options!!

/QUOTE]The express site is:
https://www.twinspires.com/php/tsexpress/2.3/index.php
Works for me even though I rarely use it. Thought it would help some of you.
Jim [QUOTE] Thank you for providing this workaround. Once logged in the URL loads directly to the previous unaltered express site bypassing the nonsense. Zero balance since migrating from YouBet as State law mandates on-track wagering exclusively. Still enjoy watching them run.

Call me crazy, but the new interface isn't that bad. Everything is on one page, which is great and modern, it's fairly intuitive, it's easy to see which bets I've made/have queued up. All the probables/will pay info is there if you want to scroll down. I was using the interface which loaded up an entirely diff site (forget what it's called, maybe Twin Spires TV?), but that required an ungodly amount of clicking. This gives me everything on one page.
I understand that it's a time honored tradition for horse players to complain but give it a shot. We constantly harp on the industry for not changing, then when they try to change, we brutally slaughter them for going away from what's comfortable. Maybe take a day or 2 betting thru the site, getting used to it, *with an open mind*, then file complaints.

"Everything is on one page"
Only one race is on there...if your a multi-track player ......you lose a lot...and the clicking is more...
Also
They took away "conditional" and "multi-bets" options long ago and said it was going to be fixed...and this is what we get

I am going to place a bet with a dope who doesn't know his left from his right?
What are you using to view the site, Jerry?
On my desktop, I have to reduce the screen so much in order to get it all on the screen that when I go to other sites, they are so small I can't read them at all.

Using a 13" macbook pro to view, so my screen is very small. I assumed it would get better when I viewed it on a monitor but haven't tried.

Point taken - never used an interface where I had multiple tracks up for viewing/betting at one look. I find switching between tracks with this layout to be easier than the old layout I was using on TS.

I wouldn't take a poll to see how many players bet more than one track at a time
