US racing data now in European format

The past performance information for North American Thoroughbred racing is now available in a traditional European style. The race forms, called �Euroform�, have been developed by the Thoroughbred industry�s official database for racing information (Equibase).

�With the growing export of North American simulcast signals to Europe, Euroform fills a need in the trans-Atlantic simulcast information market by presenting North American handicapping information in a format European race fans are accustomed to,� according to a statement by Equibase.

The Euroform program includes a statistical summary for each horse that displays its Equibase Class Rating as well as its race record, earnings and top Equibase Speed Figure by a number of different criteria, including track, surface, distance, year and career; a synopsis of each runner�s prior three starts, including the top three finishers with brief trip notes and Equibase Speed Figures for each, final time, margins for the first six finishers and a key race index; and weights displayed in both pounds and stones.

Euroform also includes links to basic program information and to traditional Equibase past performances for additional detailed handicapping information.
