The free data from Quickhorse doesn't need Equibase authorization. It doesn't use an Equibase product for its data, and its ratings are all home-made. Mr. Groves has been doing the same exact thing for many years, and if it was against Equibase's terms of service, they would have shut him down a long time ago.

The data that is being provided was derived from a source such as DRF, BRIS, Equibase, TrackMaster, HDW or another authorized reseller.
Every authorized reseller has "Terms of Use," "Terms and Conditions" and/or a "Subscriber Agreement" which specifically states the data is for personal use only and cannot be redistributed. Anything other than personal use requires permission, which means a license.
Just because someone hasn't been shut down does not mean they are not violating the agreements they entered into when they obtained the data.
