Keeping a good thread alive .... :D

This site has added a few new entries for older chart information:

Below is a link to a past performance product that might have been first of its kind, pre-dating DRF by 14 years. From what I can gather from googling its title, it never gained much of a market. Yet, it gave information in a format that DRF would not employ until about 1910, give or take. Evidently, some advances can arrive before people are ready for them.

Nice and fine right piece of research here . . . Always good and interested in reading more of horse racing history as you come across it.

Thanks
