with picks race after race after race. I get tired just thinking about it.
The winner said he used a software program. I don't know if it was his own
or something out in the public but he seemed confident in the numbers and
it showed up in the win column.
I saw an interview on DRF Live with Jonathon Kinchen, he was saying he got
up at 4 am to start handicapping...makes me believe in the saying "the harder
I work, the luckier I get."
Thanks again to Steve and all the DT'ers who share their
knowledge and passion |
I was in the Horseplayers Qualify NHC tourney in South Dakota a few years back and noticed a fair amount of people (a number of whom finished in the top 150 this weekend) using a program - if forget the name of it, but it had an ancient GUI (looked like it was written in Virtual BASIC) and the monthly subscription was-off-the-charts expensive. In addition to the basics, I think it accurately measures velocity, rather than speed, from the gate. Again, maybe some of the more seasoned tourney players know what it is, but outside of national tournaments, I've never seen it. And certainly have never seen anyone at the track or OTB using it.
