So a 108 US can be accepted as equivalent to a 108 Euro? Wouldn't this be the same as saying a Beyer - 14 is the same as a timeForm Euro? Your pace projections and race ratings are interesting. Getting CJ's pace projections for a $1.50 is a steal.

Or that could be timeForm Euro - 14 = Beyer. It doesn't matter, the point is the same.

Yes, that is the goal and I think we've accomplished that, and so does Timeform.

I personally never thought the Beyer/Timeform adjustment was very good, it was too crude, but there were better ones if you put in the work.

This sucks for those who have grown comfortable with Pace Figures.In sabermetric terms it was like having Miguel Cabrera for the league minimum.Now having to formulate a whole new process is a bit daunting.However I'm sure this is very exciting for you and wish you the best of luck.I have no doubt with you making the figs it will grow into a top notch product.

congratulations to cj (who really deserved the drf pace contract) on this move!!

as for what does he bring to the table vs bris?? (much, i'm sure) more accurate speed charts and variants for starters. the devil is often in the details.

The pace projector (much like cj) is very straightforward and thoroughly explained on what it is designed to do.I would rather not wager thru TVG but if that is what is necesssary I would gladly pay it.

Todays Parx race, I did do the print option to try and view each horses PP's! Guess what, they end after the 7 horse...the eventual winner and the 2X do not show on the screen when you click the print icon in Timeform screen nor when I do the click preview with windows!!!

Now when I did the Indiana race it filled up my screen full and all the horses came out, when I go to the Parx race, it was only half the screen and as I sail, left out some horses.

Must be something small on their end, I'm sure they will get this thing worked out soon.

Overall I am very please with the product. Being a CJ Pace figs guy almost since 2003 or 04, I almost always did the Bris replace thing as I need all the info that is there! This solves almost all of what I need, as I'm sure we will be getting more of CJ's facets included into the Timeform program.

Known bug, fix can't be pushed into production until e-comm is done. Meaning, this weekend we'll push through some refinements. Thx for the patience.

Heck, just give me a CSV export and I'll take care of all the other issues.

This would be something of interest for me also. Speed figures aren't so hot with BRIS.
