All boast being an authority. Turftrax in charge of the stick.
There is 'competition' in the data markets these days. Timeform had some races at Lingfield listed as standard when only the last three were on standard, the day starting on turf. Best is when you email and point it out, no response and they don't change them. Yet they charge subscriptions for the information and through PR each boast the best in the business. |

Two years ago, i used my own speed ratings and enter my own, especially when you see conditions (i.e. "soft in places", etc).

Trying to make sense of going/times at Haydock is beyond me. Historical descriptions/going stick calculations show http://maps.turftrax.co.uk/iframe/goingstickarchive.asp?courseid=23 there isn't much correlation. Times certainly seemed fairly quick compared to the official description, but don't know how accurate the published distances were.

^ There are TWO Flat courses at Haydock, nowadays -
So, surely, TWO sets of Standard tomes are needed. Additionally - in Winter, the have Switched the now Portable Fences from the Chase Course to the DIFFERENT Hurdle Course. The classic example of that scenario 'cocking up the clock' came with Cue Card's, apparently easy, 3m 1f mile success.  |
