I have noticed the same sort of errors on ALL 3 TABs over a period of time. E-mailed Tabonline (QLD TAB) re the "inaccuracy" as I was downloading the form via web query in MS Exel and using macros to get ratings. They responded very promptly and were very helpful. They explained that what you see in the non-member section is only as from time of acceptance. The real up to date form can be accessed by login in as a member. So if you have an account, you will get the correct information in the forms.

Talking about "mistakes", when I was designing my rating system I was extremely surprised to find out that the system won 6 tricfectas out of 8 and 8 first placings on the first trial day which was on a Heavy track. Believing that there must have been a mistake somewhere I went back and verified every single formula.

Surely, there was a mistake but what a profitable mistake. It is still working on trifectas but not 1st placing. The mistake was simply allocating points to all runners according to the lengths they finished their 3rd last race instead of their last race??? Amazing, maybe there's a pattern there? 3rd last run, on rain affected tracks?

Enjoy.
