If we are using your figs, I don't think par times are needed. Most maiden races with a bounch of firsttimers mixed in with a few 1 or 2 fig starters are pretty much of a pass most of the time in my betting anyway. i don't think the extra data on firsttimers would cause me to play the race with a betting unit like I would on a race where I have a fig opinion. THE REASON I'M USING TG AFTER SWITCHING FROM RAGS IS THAT YOUR FIGS ARE BETTER, THAT'S YOUR STRENGTH.
What I would like to see you add are two items:
1. On older horses whose early years don't appear on the sheet, I'd like to see a line that gives their top fig for sprints & routes, Turf and dirt.
2. In hard copy sets, please include at least one graded race from another track. Were getting into the time of the year when some of the big 3yo preps are on the sme day.
These two suggestions are things that Rags was doing when I made the switch over to your product, and I was kind of surprised you weren't providing them. (Ihope you won't disregard the suggestions just because Rags does them.) I know you may think it will affect your profits, but to be fair, most race days the hard copy set has 1 or 2 races with a bounch of firsttimers (no figs) and we still pay the same price.
