I've never seen an ALL WAYS form. I looked into it once but at that time they were $14 each. Since their info is limited to what is available from Equibase I simply doubt they can be anywhere near that much better than others.
MultiCap are as good, or better, of those I have seen. Started with DRF but gave up on them eons ago.
Pizzolla's forms are OK but ommit some stats I value. However his VC software somehow gleans info that others don't, and it turns out to be very enlightening for using what I call his 'angles system' of play.

I could be wrong but I believe that the only data that will work in AllWays is the file that comes from BRIS specifically built for this software.

What software are you using? You can import ALL-Ways data files into Excel, although the field maps Bris provides on its website can be a little challenging.

If you use the Bris Custom PP Generator to print pp hard copies, the ALL-Ways files will allow you to print the Ultimate PPs with Comments, whereas the $1 files will not. Which means the data files will provide you expanded trainer and jockey stats, more sire and dam info, and Bris's proprietary class rankings, competitive level ratings, etc. Whether they're worth the higher price just depends on how much value you place on that additional information, because the basic stuff like speed ratings are identical to the cheaper files.

Good luck!

You are not wrong.
