Ken:

Many thanks! It’s really remarkable what you’ve done to improve the Robot.

In the past, although I've had ideas for additions to the Robot I held off on requesting anything because I’m not really a Spot Play Player. However, the Robot has really become a great research tool and I intend to work with it more in the future.

I would like to see the following additions:

1. Dam Sire added to the Connections Screen. I think that it’s fair to say that the Female Side of the Pedigree can be very important, and also that most Sires don’t do equally well as both Sires and Broodmare Sires.

2. Class Change added to the Range Filters Screen. I’m talking about the proprietary Class Change that is part of the HX4 Export and that appears on the TLC Screen. I would like to see it added as a
(>= or <=). The idea is to have the ability to test horses moving-up greater than or equal to a certain amount, or moving-down less than or equal to a certain amount.

Example: moving-up (>=3).

I think that this would be something very useful and certainly would have value in conjunction with the new Connections Screen. I’m sure that there are some Trainers that do particularly well with drop-downs and others that do well with horses moving-up in Class.

Good suggestions Harold, thanks

The Class Change seems to be the most popular request at the moment, so i better get it in there. I'll work on it after the seminar.

The Dam, Dam Sire, and Owner are all possibilities for the Connections in the future. But each has some real logistic or data matching issues that may prevent me from using them.

Class change and the ACl "level" , I think would both be good to have.

maybe a table in the learn all for ACL levels up or down , just to report on them broken down in increments of 2 or so?
