Do you know if there is a short document or a video on how to use the report?
Thank you for your time..

No tutorial per se, but simply reading the reports will give you the feel for the nuance of who really is coming up to a race well. You'll also get clued in to phraseology that clockers invariably use when they really like a horse. The A-, B+, B, B- grades are an at a glance read, but it's more important to absorb the attending comment, especially when there's the benefit of a series of efforts that show steady improvement from a worker. (Particularly helpful with first time starters).
My favorite use for them is with nicely price horses (especially unraced maidens) that may have a hint of ability based on pedigree/siblings. If there's positive clocking notes to go with their potential, I include them. One winner or a big priced exacta/tri pays for the report and more..
