iPPs by Equibase Review

iPPs by Equibase presents an innovative approach to handicapping, offering users the ability to customize and annotate daily Thoroughbred and Harness racing programs from various North American tracks. With access to 40-80 tracks daily, users can create a tailored "daily publication" that mimics traditional pen-and-paper handicapping while incorporating modern functionality.

Features of iPPs

iPPs provides users with the choice of nine distinct Past Performance publication formats across the country’s racing regions for each race day. The following features are particularly noteworthy:

• Thoroughbred
  • Equibase Basic PPs: This standard daily past performance publication is accessible on the iPad and presents data in a straightforward format suitable for both novices and experienced participants. It includes essential metrics such as Equibase Speed Figures and Class Ratings.
  • TrackMaster Platinum PPs: Offering three variations (Standard, Pace, and Bias), these publications go beyond traditional formats by including Power Ratings, Pace Figures, conditional Jockey & Trainer Stats, extensive commentary, 12 running lines, track bias details, among other advanced features.
• Harness
  • TrackMaster PPs: Available in Condensed and 10-line formats, these respected harness programs contain exclusive Speed and Class Ratings, along with driver and trainer statistics as well as individual horse records.
  • TrackMaster Platinum PPs: The higher-end offerings (Condensed, 12 Line, and 12 Line Extra) come with Power Ratings, Claim and Trainer change information, specialized analysis, and a summary cover page for comprehensive insights.

User Experience with iPPs

After selecting a preferred edition for the current or upcoming days, users can choose their desired track and format. Once delivered to the iPad, users have the flexibility to annotate their programs with various features—options for marking include pens, highlighters, notes functions, underliners, or strikethroughs. This customizable aspect empowers users to adapt their selections daily according to personal preferences.
