Hi all,

My first post here.

Firstly, I'd like to congratulate Uselessbettor on creating such a superb web-based analyzer. UB, it's great that you're still working to improve it, and imho the ability to distinguish metrop from non-metrop as suggested above would be a major leap forward. (Distinguishing provincial from country would also be terrific, but I don't know if that's feasible for you?)

A few other things I've found to be important when it comes to database research:
-Type of race. Nuanced class differences aren't important, but Black Type races and Maidens need to be considered separately from everything else... 2yo/3yo/Set Weights/Handicaps are also useful distinctions.
-Day of the week. (Saturday/public holiday metrop really is a different proposition from everything else.)
-Ability to distinguish metrop/provincial/country for a horse's last start as well as today's race makes an enormous difference. For instance, there are filters that show long term profits based on horses running metrop-to-metrop that do not work with any other permutation.

Hope it's not presumptuous of me to make these suggestions with my first post. Obviously I've no idea how feasible or dfficult it might be to implement any or all of these parameters, but I thought I might as well pass on what some extensive past research has shown to be important.
