Not sure what you mean on this one. I tried it as well as a few others and it was working fine.

There are no print products that show the Pace Projector.

When I want to have it, I use the free FoxIt PDF reader and copy and paste the Pace Projector into the condensed version of the figures. It could be done with the full print versions as well.

Last night, looking at the package prices of the three major providers. DRF, BRIS, and TFUS which are available now online, I noted some differences. You all were well in line with others on the Oaks/Derby package price, allowing a discount for early purchase.

For the BC package your price is $39.95 with no discount offer for early purchase? I've not ever, for any event, complained about the price of data. Disallowing the early discount creates a sizable increase from May to November while DRF and BRIS have kept their offerings in the same range. Understanding, too, the harmonizing of the Euro entries is included in the TFUS report.

Maybe I'm missing something, which is highly possible, but if not, someone, and I know you don't control such things, has made a poor decision. Not meaning to upset anyone by questioning the price point, but most likely, this time around, I'll take only your condensed figures, I can work the rest out from there. You guys didn't need to jump your price this substantially.

TimeFormUS,

What is your recommendation for handicapping the Breeders' Cup especially when comparing the Euros?


Thanks

This details method? I'm not interested in picks.

There are reasons given for the selections. Different handicappers handle different races so they won't be the same methods for all.

The European shippers are shown with Timeform ratings. North American horses are shown with TimeformUS Speed Figures. The two are on the same scale so they can be compared numerically.

Personally I won't bet shippers that don't get Lasix. I feel not using it puts the horses at a competitive disadvantage, and the numbers back this up.

The history of CJ putting European ratings on scale with his own is legendary among many long time PF customers.

Many people will say it is crazy, it won't work.
Others are too busy cashing tickets to discuss it.

Grits, you're 100% within your rights to question the pricing, just as others question the prices for DRF and other products. Why would anyone be upset? It's a valid point.

For now just the BC races, but you get all tracks as they become available for both days, not just Keeneland.

Really sorry for your loss. Amazing how our pets become part of the family.

My racing season is just about to begin and Ive decided to give Timeformus a shot..at first with BRIS..then we'll see.

I have a couple of questions..they may be here somewhere but I can find the answer. I am looking at the free PPs for today and using the Timeformus youtube video to check out the features. It says there is something called Fast PPs, but it doesn't show up the way it does in the video. It looks like those are the ones I can print...the video mentions a printer icon, but I can't find it where it says it is. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I like the race rating number listed. Is there anywhere where we can see the race rating pars for each class level?
