On the reverse side of the tool, there is a key to the most commonly used racing code flags that gives you a picture of the flag and an explanation of its meaning. There is also a speed/time/distance table, and an area to record both wind and racecourse information. The Tactician’s Calculator comes with a #2 pencil and has holes punched in all four corners for easy tethering.
