When you open a race in Proform there is a Sectionals tab which contains various other tabs of data, like this:-

The tab maybe at the top rather than bottom like we have it but you can easily move this and any other tab for that matter.

On how to move tabs, take a quick look at this video link on our youtube channel 

Log File

Every time you press the download button in Proform or it auto runs a login file is created in the folder C:\ProformP\Log

The log files have a date against them so you can see what is downloaded each date.

IMPORTANT

If you are exporting data, then it is important that you check these log files because we may have automatically updated sectional data for anytime in the past!

The finishing speed % difference 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.

FSP% Diff
This tab shows the difference in % of Finishing Speed % minus going adjusted Par Finishing Speed %. A positive value is better than par.  The final furlong (finish) is on the left.

Pars
The FS%'s in braces in the heading bar for each section are the ground adjusted par FS% for this race.

Colour Coding
We have colour coded this grid using the FS% vs Par FS%.  Any FS% 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:-
