Info:

The upgrades tab can be seen when you have a race open and you are viewing the sectionals tab in the Proform Form Book.

It looks like this.

Upgrades
The Sectional Upgrades for each section are how many pounds they could have improved by running the section more efficiently The final furlong (finish) is on the left.

Pars
The sectional times in braces in the heading bar for each section are the ground adjusted par sectional time for this race.

Colour Coding
We have colour coded this grid using the sectional times vs par sectional time.  Any sectional time that is better or worse than par (within a tolerance determined by race distance) will be shaded in degrees of green (better than par) or red (worse than par).  The deeper the colour the bigger the difference either way.

Race Replay
You can also view the race replay quickly from this tab by clicking the replay icon next to the hid chart button.

 

We have created an excel document explaining all the data fields you can see in Proform, plus how far back the historical sectional data goes and the data tolerances we used to block obvious data errors coming into our database, you can download this on the following link:-

Sectional Timing Fields

Info:

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.
