New Thorograph Equibase Product For 'cappin

[smuthg]

Are these new numbers going to be added to the normal TG product?

This, from the Thorograph message board:

"JB is out of the office today. He can fill you in more about the marketing of Thoro-Graph Form Ratings offered by Equibase tomorrow. Let me say in the interim that TG Form Ratings are intended for the perhaps less sophisticated handicapper--one who doesn't have the time or inclination to look at individual sheets, patterns, form cycles, etc--one who just wants a quick assessment of how fast horses are in each race and how they stack up against each other. We purposely inverted the scale making the higher numbers faster efforts and we adjusted for weight at time of entry to make Thoro-Graph Form Ratings easier to understand.

Thoro-Graph Form Ratings are intended for a different segment of the market. Make no mistake, however, Thoro-Graph Form Ratings are based on the same Thoro-Graph data you see on sheets, Thoro-Quick, or whatever data product you purchase.

It sounds as if they are targeting somrthing other than the hardnosed capper. If so will they adjust the price for this and make it more redily available with this filal figure and without all the info that results in these figures. Am I missing something? This appears to be something that they are going to offer to compete with the drf.
