What I like is you can get a detailed information with a summary at the end. The DRF is good but by the time you get through a large field you can forget about something you saw earlier. How many times have you figured out a race only to turn the page and find more horses.

What I hate about looking at the numbers is.. you sometimes forget other angles. I don't think BRISnet had more than 1 top selection winner (Dreaming of Anna) of the '06 BC races. However, I was able to use the info to find Street Sense, Thor's Echo, Round Pond and Invasor. or more importantly I was able to elminate horses (sadly I got 1st, 3rd and 4th in the sprint I mean what is terribly wrong with hitting the all button)

I got Pleasant Home (30-1) in the Distaff a couple years ago just by reading what Steve said about the connections. Ofcourse I left out Red Rocks because Steve said he was betting against the son of galileo
Doh!

I like Brisnet as well to speed things up as well. The variant adjusted pace figures are nice in shaping a race, while the stats on trainers, jockeys and breeding are also valuable tools. The race summary and track profile page really seperate Bris information from the others.
