They're basically just a reference point. You use them to know where to go to disect a horse's races.

Here's a suggestion for DRF (or any of the data providers); and this applies only for the ONLINE version:

combine a graphical history of each horse's races with other relevant textual data (workouts, breeding, etc.)

I know I'd buy something like this (assuming the data would be just a bit more accurate, of course)

This would, among other things, let us actually see the 'form cycle' of horses that all the numbers guys are constantly referring to.

This would go a long way towards 'revolutionizing' handicapping.

still trying to make sense of the Brooklyn.

Theres a romantic notion that Sightseeing is going to relish the distance, and his too-little-too late style and cool trainer will win out. I just don't see it.

Nite Light , Delosvientos and Angliana are my contenders.
