Change log for Version 1.4, which rolls out this weekend.

1) Fixes the bug that prevented the use of 4 Deep Dives... Jockey Mounts, Matchups, Silks/owners and Trainer Entries. This bug was introduced in the release that went out last weekend.

2) Introduces a new Deep Dive called Detective, which sleuths out the information that you want to see, but may forget to look up. There are currently 8 situations that can be reported when the situation exists:

a) 1st off claim
b) 2nd off claim
c) 3rd off claim
d) trainer change since the previous race
e) leaving the maiden ranks
f) returning to the maiden ranks (immediately following a non-maiden race)
g) no activity in 45 days (no races or workouts)

There will likely be more of these in subsequent releases.

3) Pace for Selected Lines and Pace for All Lines have had some columns moved around so that part of the sequence is TE, the 7 primary factors and the Composite of the 7 primary factors. This is a more logical sequence. In the Pace for Selected Lines grid, these columns also now carry an asterisk (*) for all horses ranked 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the factor based on the selected lines.

4) There's a minor correction to the computation of Composite pace.

5) Balance (BAL) has been added to the Pace for Selected Lines and the Pace for All Lines (based on the selected line).

6) The Deep Dive for Matchups now has column headers.

7) Odds of lines have been added to both Pace for Selected Lines and Pace for All Lines.

8) Trainers and Trainer Stats (with ratings) have been added to Pace for All Lines.

9) On the Workouts grid, the DESC column has been widened by one character for seeing "D", which means "around the dogs". "Dogs" are cones set up to protect the inner portion of the course. In working around the dogs, the horse works a longer distance than if the cones were not in place and the extra distance is (understandably) not reported in the BRIS data.

10) The Pace for All Lines now has more columns on the left anchored to the left side. This allows the user to see the distance and surface columns across the entire grid, which is important data if the grid is being used to select pace lines.
