Harness: USTA rolls out more features for Pathway

In the second of three weekly launches, the U.S. Trotting Association’s statistical database, Pathway, has introduced new, free reports of major stakes histories, driver and trainer chronicles in major stakes and a summary listing of all North American races.

Some of the information is available for the first time and other reports, which were previously available, will now be updated on a daily basis rather than annually and are sortable by multiple categories. All of these reports include more detailed reports that are available for a small fee.

These are the new reports now available in Pathway:
1) Chronicles of Major Races
2) Major Races by Year
3) North American Race Summary
4) Driver Chronicles of Major Races
5) Trainer Chronicles of Major Races

Under the Statistics tab in Pathway in the Major Races category:

1) Chronicles of Major Races: provides a history of major stakes races back to 1980 with trainers added from the former listing in the Trotting & Pacing Guide that is searchable by race or by year.

2) Major Races by Year: is a listing of major stakes winners by calendar year back to 1992.

Both reports are sortable by: date, division, track, purse, winning horse, driver, trainer and time.

Also under the Statistics tab in Pathway:

3) North American Race Summary: provides a summary listing of all North American races that is sortable by year, track type, and country, state or track for the past 10 years for free or a full report back to 1992 for a small fee. Information includes race dates, purses, starters and earnings per starter, trotter or pacer for each year.

The other two new reports can be found under the People tab in Pathway:

4) Driver Chronicles of Major Races: is a listing of all major races for individual drivers for the current year that is sortable chronologically or by division, track, purse, horse, trainer for drivers and drivers for trainers, time or finish position.

The current year is free. Additional reports including prior years, race charts and replays are available for a fee.

5) Trainer Chronicles of Major Races: displays the same statistics and reports for trainers.

Next Friday (March 9), additional new reports will be made available that include a listing of horse, trainer or driver information searchable by any state or any racetrack.

To access any of these reports, users must have a Pathway account. There is no charge to set up an account. In addition to these and other free reports, users also can purchase a wide variety of Standardbred performance and pedigree reports.
