Hi Release The Hounds,

I go very in-depth in order to make the Db useful in creating systems.

I also include last race prizemoney, margin beaten, wgt carried, last 600m time, prizemoney earnt that start etc etc.

I go back three starts for each runner, but also have a master database which contains the form for every runner for the last few years.

In short, the more information you can add, the more useful your database will be.

Example: PPP does not have the facility for ranking career prizemoney in the field, or closing tote price (from what I understand) but I include this and many more pesonal preferences.

It takes me about 3 days (part time) to get a weekend's racing done PROPERLY. The time invested is paying for itself though!

Good Luck.
