I tried to help you get the information you desire, in the format you want it, AND save money, but you obviously have no interest in that. So I have no interest in continuing this conversation.

You misunderstood me entirely. I didn't need you to tell me that Formulator existed...nor did I reach out to you so you could "save me money". I pointed out from the very beginning of my conversation here that I was speaking strictly for those misguided souls who persist in buying the DRF printed edition...since I was one of them for over 30 years. But now, I have put the DRF entirely BEHIND me...and I want nothing more to do with that company...no matter WHAT "improvements" they plan for the future. There are much better service providers out there for the discriminating player...and I'm glad to have finally found one of them.

PS...

I don't know if you've noticed this...but I don't much enjoy conversing with you either.

Looks like the subset is shrinking.

Understandably.

Best of luck and please don't.

One of us is trying to contribute something positive and the other is not. That much should be clear to everyone now.

OK...I'm sure you are right.

There is an old saying to be
"careful what you wish...
for you may get it"

I sought an understanding
of the DRF's Speed Rating
and Track Variant, hoping
if I understood exactly
HOW they are compiled
I could USE THEM instead
of being confused about
what they really mean...

....But, and thanks
to Class, CJ, Delta, and Thask,
who together reveal and spritz
the unvarnished serum,
truth avails itself, in kind

NOW....whenever I gaze
at the Daily Racing Form
and scan the various "Metrics" there
all jumbled up in secret sauce,
half-baked, half-understood forms
writhing, worming through my understanding....

Instead of elucidating
the Sport of Kings,
then...THEN I wonder...
shall I stray NOW to join some more,
even more, private subset,
like Thask, like CJ, and Class, and Delta...?

Turn your back on the DRF...and march forth into the 21st century. You'll thank me.
