With a 60% strike from the top 3 rated horses, the Proform Power Rating are one of the key cornerstones for those that wish to identify contenders or shortlist horses in a race and in this video we show you how to load the Power Ratings into the Proform Software

In this release we have added a notifications feature:

• When the results are available for download into the software.
• For non-runners and offical going changes.
• When the 24/48 hour declarations are available for download.
• When the race guides are available on our web site.
• When the power ratings are available for download into the software.

Every minute Proform checks for any new notifications which are displayed in the box with the most recent at the top and they are timestamped per the example below: 

You can click on the yellow or green status lines to open the notification screen or you can also open this screen from a new feature button from the main menu or from the menus on the left.

When opened, the notifications screen looks like this:

The window defaults to “Stay On Top” which you can alter when you open Proform however your choices are not saved so you will need to set your preference each time you open Proform.

If you untick stay on top and turn off notifications then the window will not display but notifications will still be shown on the main screen in yellow and green etc, you can click either notification type to bring the notifications box back up again.

• NOTE: Notifications don’t remove non-runners or change the going, you have to use the integrated non-runner tool to do this.

 

Not only does Proform application provide outstanding features in respect to its formbook, in-running analysis, system builder and racing statistics, the Proform software also provides its own unique ratings and in this video, we provide a list of the ratings are available in the Proform Professional software.

Glossary of New Fields

New fields on horse form tab

We have added the in running lows and highs and percentages from the in running tab to the form tab too for continuity.

PRB - This is the percentage of rivals beaten (PRB) that this horse has beat in each run. Colour Coded, see chart.

PosVsSPRank – This set 1 if the finishing position was better than the horse’s SP (Industry) rank and -1 if it wasn’t.  This can be used as an indicator of a horse running better than the odds expect.  However PRB is introduced also and this is likely a better indicator of good form.

SP_Rank – This is the rank of the industry SP the horse went off at.

PowR – This is the rank of the power Rating (UR1)

 

New fields on in running tab

We added a few fields to the in running tab, which are jockey and trainer, powr rank, qual, actual going, odds decimal and headgear.

 

 

New fields on race cards and results screen

Filters

All these fields work with form book filtering, for instance if you filter a race to only show AW form then all the values for the fields below reflect this.

This makes the trading figures truly powerful because you can filter to conditions more like today using the quick filters and the more advanced filters.

The quick filters look like this above the race card

The advance filters are behind this button on the right

Power Ratings Downloads

We have moved to a new server for downloads, so we can secure the main site after Google changed some rules a few months back.

For you it is seamless this update takes care of it but you NEED to do the update because once we secure the site (soon) the old version will not download power ratings automatically.

 

 

Auto Non-Runner Removal Tool

Auto update welcome screen tick box added to non-runner removal tool

This is generally for those linking welcome screen selections to BF Bot Manager so that non runners trigger new bets and selections on the welcome screen are updated and then the BF Bot auto updates them.

When ticked in conjunction with auto non-runner removal it will update the welcome screen.

NOTE: if you have a lot of systems every time a non-runner is found you will get a lag or wait cursor while the welcome screen updates.

 

Quick Hide on Notifications Screen

This was for me really as I always click not on top and notifications off when I open Proform and got sick of three clicks

The Proform race guides also contain our unique ratings which can act as a pointer to the likely contenders in the race. This video shows you how you can find our ratings in the Race Guide

Proform customers who subscribe to Timeform’s sectional timing service are able to import the Excel files created by Timeform into Proform. The benefits are: -

1. Combined with Proform Speed Rating Class Pars to find truly run races you can spot outstanding performances on the clock at a glance.
2. When Class Pars and Sectionals are used in conjunction with our Power Ratings you can find standout betting opportunities!

Once the files are uploaded to the Proform database using our importer it loads the finishing speed % data into User Rating 4 field and also if you wish to import the upgrade figure, this information is imported into User Rating 3.

Prior to this release our technicians had to manually update each subscriber’s data base to enable the fields to be displayed in the Proform Racecard.  This release makes these changes automatically.

 

Where can I see the data in Proform

Once imported you can see the finishing speed % in the user rating 4 field when looking at a result in the dataview, like so:

If you can’t see user rating 4 in the same position as above then right click on the heading line of the grid and click on show fields. From the dialog box which appears scroll down and find user rating 4 and move it using the arrows to position required.

 

How do I see the figures in horse form and prior form?

In the new version of Proform, once the Timeform figures are imported, customers can view User rating 4 (finishing speed %) in the horse form and prior form screens.

You can also now use the system builder to query last time out user ratings 3 and 4 and our speed figure LTO. This will allow to deeply query finishing speed %, upgrade figures and our speed ratings.
