Yes, click on the Red "Introduction" link in the left hand column of everypage. This will take you to a lot of very useful information about using the sheets (audio web seminar, etc). Then, go to the "Red Board Room" link. This link gives you all of the previous day's sheets. Download these and practice (go to www.equibase.com-->charts link for results after you analyze).

Now, this next part will be unpopular, but the Ragozzin site also has a lot of useful information about using their sheets. They detail a lot of different patterns to look for. Spotting the patterns is the key to using sheets and seems to work well with both the Ragozzin sheets and the Thorograph sheets. Thorograph's sheets are easier to read because they've been laid out much nicer. They are also more user friendly because you can download them. Also, they give you infinite amount of information to learn to use the sheet (i.e. the Red Board Room). Plush, Thorograph is a better price. [I've been successful using both sheets, so I would say the numbers are both very good].

But, if you go to www.thesheets.com, you can buy some audio seminar tapes from the Ragozzin guys (there's about 18 of them or so). These are very useful (although very poor quality) for learning to use sheets. Also, Len Ragozzin's book, "The Odds Must Be Crazy" is a good book for learning how the sheets were developed, what the numbers actually represent and how to spot some patterns.

Hope all of this helps. I would use both sites for information because both have some useful stuff to offer. Also, use these message boards (both sites have message boards) to ask questions and discuss patterns, horses, etc. I think this site is easier for discussing particulars of horses, because everyone can download the sheet and see what you are talking about (assuming the question is posted the day after the race and it's still available in the Red Board Room).

Good luck.
