I'm looking for software that incorporates BRIS PP data and will let me eliminate certain running lines within a horse's PP's. Can anyone offer any insight?

Depends on what you want to hide. Bris PP generator already has a filtering option.

An example would be wanting to eliminate the last start in a horse's PP line because of track condition or terrible trip.

I'm curious. Are you wanting the line to not appear at all? Or, maybe be dimmed out? And, what if you want it to reappear? How would you ideally get it back?

I'm really just wanting to eliminate it completely...as if the race never existed. Ideally, I would like to then see the ratings readjusted after the elimination of said race.

One issue I have is that I use a Mac and the software doesn't support it.

How are you able to utilize the BRIS files through your Mac?

You can use parallels desktop on a mac and use windows perfectly!

I don't. I only download the PP's.

Even on new MacBook Pros?

They only run 64-bit programs.

Far is I know it works on all of them. I'm using two MacBook Pros from 2019 and I've had no problems with it. https://www.parallels.com/

FOXIT reader, annotate the PPs.

To be clear, I'm looking for a program that could totally eliminate a race from the running line, then reconfigure the ratings based on the elimination(s) of the PP data that was adjusted. For instance, how would the Prime Power figure change if I eliminated (erased) the most recent race of a particular horse in the field?

Prime Power is already calculated so eliminating lines is not going to change the rating. Obviously if you came up with your own rating then eliminating lines would change what the rating is.

Yeah, I get that. Just wondering if there is software out there (with ratings) that could change by eliminating races from running lines.

HTR has 7 Custom Pre-Set Pace Line Selections

or

You can choose your own....

changing Pace Lines will alter ALL Velocity numbers and Power Figures

and its easy to do.....

In first Pix "ALL" Pacelines were selected by using 7

in 2nd Pix the programs "default" choice was used 5

You can tell what lines are used in that first column where the # is...

Program (which there is 6 of them ) are free

Data is $119 a month and hasn't gone up in 20+ years

Updates are done 2 times a year with user input suggestions and from developer himself.....

You want a calculation that takes the sum of all data for a horse and boils it down to a single number. And you don't want it to be proprietary. But, it needs to be a useful tool. And whoever is offering this would not simply use it for their own profit.
I have a bridge for sale you may find interesting............

Maybe the emulation is 64-bit and it can run the 32-bit (or earlier).

In my personal handicapping software, I've developed a tool to eliminate running lines I wish to ignore. See the Before and After images below from excerpts from one of my analytics screens.

Upon starting to handicap a race, all pacelines are checked. Then I selectively uncheck those I wish to ignore. That whites-out the data for those races except for race dates.

The pacelines which remain checked are then used consistently throughout the race for all other analytics such as pace or speed ratings. That cannot include the BRIS PPR as others have mentioned, but I've developed alternative speed rating analytics which are based upon only the pace lines which have been checked.

This is accomplished using the conditional formatting tool built into the FilemakerPro database software I've used to develop my handicapping application. FilemakerPro is natively cross platform (Win, Mac & Linux, IOS) so I don't need any emulation software to utilize my application on any of these platforms.

This looks super useful and is pretty much what I have in mind. Thank you!
