Worthwhile horseracing blog: Green but Game

While I don't have room in my layout for a link list, one of the most impressive sites out there is Green but Game, written by fellow NYRA fan Dana Byerly.  Check it out for oodles of info and enjoyable reading. Way to go Dana.

Formulator, a superb product…but

Until now, I haven't mentioned a thing about the relatively new Daily Racing Form product Formulator Web. Let me say up front that as a major fan of 'the form' my reaction is merely: Bravo! Superb! Hoo-Hah! Way to go!

My enthusiasm is particularly profound, because I am a die-hard Macintosh user. Until this version there was no Formulator for my population. So, for years I have been downloading a pdf version of the past performances. Unless, I am going to the track, I do my handicapping right on the computer screen. No printout, necessary.

Therein lies my one, small complaint. With Adobe Acrobat, I can mark-up my computerized version of the pdf–a valuable tool when you handicap two tracks and, at least 18 races a day. No such luck with Formulator.

Hopefully, the powers that be will consider including a similar tool with the next update. It doesn't even have to save the marks.

Other than that, I give Formulator four stars out of five.
