The only time I wish I had Computer Timeform Drone is later on in the season when having to trawl back each run to find out if it has run / goes on heavy ground. Which can be tiresome but I enjoy studying.
I also don’t bother with getting the jumps one until the Paddy Power and Flat until the 2000 Guinees.
Worst thing about the Perspective is relying on the post. Seems better now they have stopped sending the Irish stuff. Living down south it can take time to get here. Have my suspitions about the posties too. A friend who gets it lives further from the drop off point, yet gets his quicker. So may be it is just my area.
Timeform staff I find are very helpful, faxing through the briefing I need for a certain meeting.
Think it is vital to form your own opinion, making a 100% book helps in that respect. Timeform can get it wrong and even Jim Mcgrath disagrees with some of the on course analysts sometimes. Occaisionally you wonder how they came to that conclusion, but then again they are just as often right as I am.Value Is EverythingGlenn,
Are you sure of your figures in the 93 Goodwood Cup?
You say Sonus drifted from 6/4 to 4/1, that is a staggering 20%. May be it drifted a bit due to being visored for the first time, but 20% never heard of such a drift. Even Nozic last year was only 12.5%. Are you sure you are not confusing Sonus’s opening price with Assessor’s SP of 6/4? At some point these two must have been taking around 70-75% out of the book. That is in a 9 horse race where the bookies were betting to only 109% at SP, with only one of the other runners starting bigger than 14/1 (14/1, 25/1, 14/1, 14/1, 10/1, 14/1 and 9/1). Those 7 others taking out almost 50% of the book. Not saying it is not true, just hard to believe. Any way of substantiating this apparent drift.Value Is EverythingGinger,
My 1993 form book seems to have disappeared, so I’m doing this from memory. If it didn’t open 6/4 it opened something very close. Remember this was pre-BF – the on-course market was much more volatile with the market much less likely to be knocked into shape before opening show time.

To be fair to Glen that is still an enormous drift, 16.4%.
