NEW Release - Turf the 2023 revision of Form Master

[Martin]

An update the the thread - Form Master by Cascade Systems

Turf
I'm releasing here to members of the Forum 'Turf' the revised and updated version Richard Naylor's Original 1988 Form Master Horse Race Form Rating System. As the revised utility can be said to be in a state of beta testing I'm looking to keep a distribution record to facilitate revisions and bug fixes.

• Those 'horse racing punters' that would like to give it a try can check out the Operating Manual and details (here).

• Those interested with Comms Links and the facility to MAKE datapaks can PM me for a copy of the OPK that they can make onto a spare 32K datapak.

• Those without a Comms Link or the inclination to MAKE their own datapak can PM me for an address then can send a spare 32K datapak. This will be formatted before writing the Turf utility on to it. Then it will be returned in their small pre-prepared stamped addressed jiffy envelope.

Turf is an intensive utility and a certain amount of knowledge or learning is necessary to get to grips with it. I will be interesting to see if others can make a go of it. BUT it does work to quote one recent user...

"Picked 3 winners and a second place out of 4 picks from Turf and have already won today 1/1 with one to run at 7.30 MARKET Rasen Ajp Kingdom a favourite that's now backed into 10/11, so fingers crossed another winner." - If you check the Racing Pot for Saturday 19th August you'll see results for 7:30 Market Rasen 1st. Go Chique 12/1 : 2nd. Ajp Kingdom 5/6F : 3rd. 5. Copper Beach 4/1

Sincerely, in good faith and not for profit

I have recently found my copy of the original manual from 1988. If anyone needs any information from it I am happy to photograph relevant pages.
