I hope you get rich, sir!
No offense to CJ but the thing that actually interests me more than the figures on the product is that it sounds like it was created by someone involved in formulator and should be a direct competitor to formulator.

Looks like a great site but Internet Explorer won't work. Tough eliminating 25% of the market.

Maybe they figure that anybody still using IE is too stupid to use their site?

I have worked in the computer field for 30 years. Nothing wrong with IE. Maybe Tector needs to keep his insults to himself.
Thanks Nick and Danzig.

I just tried tomorrow's free race from Belmont. I know all of the features aren't operational, but I don't understand the star system or how the selections are made. I read the site which says stars are based on recent form and morning line odds. But, what exactly does that mean?

I also wasn't sure how to use the pace projector. From that, it appears that the 6 will have a lose easy lead and has the highest spotlight speed figure but he is nowhere in the selections and only has three stars.

What am I missing with this?

Make that 55% but you having worked in the industry for 30+ already know that. A typo I guess. On another note I would think these guys are on the ball and are targeting the mobile market and html-5 so any issues with IE now are likely to disappear with upgraded versions of IE offering more HTML5 support.

I guess I overstated it's usage. If you make it up to Saratoga this summer you should drop me a private note and maybe we can discuss all your nasty comments to me. Doubt that will happen

Wikimedia you and your constant threats to all who call you out are laughable.
