Bloodstock Research offers free archived result charts

Last updated: 9/9/09 2:15 PM


Bloodstock Research Information Services (Brisnet.com),
the first company to offer online data services for handicappers and horsemen in
the Thoroughbred industry, is now providing a valuable resource absolutely free
on their website.

“The result charts archives are a tremendous resource for everyone in the
industry,” Vice President Happy Broadbent said. “Whether you’re a handicapper, a
fan of the sport, or you make your living in the industry, you can now look up
any result chart for any North American track dating back to 1991. It’s quick
and easy to research the race of any horse over the past two decades.”

The Brisnet.com website includes a useful calendar interface which makes it
easy to see if a track was running on a particular day. The free PDF charts are
available in two different display formats: the traditional charts and the
charts with alternative running lines. The alternative running lines portray
each runner’s chart call based on the leader’s margins and beaten lengths, the
same as it would appear in the horse’s past performances.

“Prior to this it was very cost prohibitive for a person to pull down
archived charts,” Broadbent explained. “Now it is easy for a person to research
our great sport and follow the racing history of their favorite Thoroughbreds.”

This is not the first time Brisnet has made a move to benefit the industry.
Last year, Brisnet.com changed the price to free on the #105 Five-cross pedigree
reports, the only product of its kind to include tabulated race records.

Brisnet.com was purchased by Churchill Downs Inc. in June of 2007 and is the
official data supplier for the TwinSpires.com wagering site. Based in Lexington,
Kentucky, Bloodstock Research Information Services has been serving the needs of
the Thoroughbred industry since 1971.
