Not that i plan on moving over to the dark side, but TimeFormUS offers all the horses pacelines over it’s career, and seeing that it’s one of your competitors....... i don’t have to explain the rest. I know you have a lot on your plate and you get a million requests, but one thing i really like about TFUS is the fact that they offer a breeding rating for each horse, and this is paramount for me when dealing with FTS, and seeing that i play Woodbine, i have to deal with a ton of firsters. Food for thought..... |

Gil,
Getting all of a horse's PPs is probably fairly doable (in terms of a request from TrackMaster). I need to gang up all the requests to change/add to the existing data file into a SINGLE request to them for 2015. It is possible that some of the requests for new data points (trainer/jockey stats, breeding ratings, etc) may cost more per card - but I don't know and have not talked to them about it. I will start a thread shortly to solicit RDSS users' ideas of additional data items in the TrackMaster data file, and post a link here. Ted

I gave it some thought, and it might be a little much to include the lifetime running lines of a horse as far as the size of the data file. Maybe a consensus from the RDSS users might be in order, some people might not want huge files stored in their database, i don't know.
I think the last two years would be good enough for me, but it would be kind of cool to have the history of a horse on file. Maybe a poll is in order on this subject. I don't mind paying more for the cards, it would save me a ton of time digging threw Statsmaster and Equibase for the trainer/breeding stats and whatever. A thread on the topic is a good idea. p.s. Why is it we can never get the call times on Euro horses? After looking at Sundays Woodbine card, i am left shaking my head in frustration. |
