View Full Version : Rookie Questions

I have been reading this page for a couple of weeks and finally want to ask a couple of questions. If these are way too basic, I apologize.
1) Creating track pars would seem like an enourmous undertaking, are they available for purchase anywhere?
2) Do most of the people here use a specific program for analyzing results data? Anything recognized as the best?
2a) How expensive is it to download an entire meets results files?
(this question has been coupled as one entry)
3) If I determine that speed figures don't float my boat, what are the cheapest PP's available?
Thanks,

Dave Scwart has great experience doing pars. Check software historical threads for various data sources also. I do not use speed figures much, IO like consistency factors and succesful PP patterns as a basis.

Cheapest PP's are available through horsedata.com.
A follow up to Pars: A few rhetorical questions? What value are Pars if we have speed figures already? Wouldn't your energies be better placed elsewhere in ones handicapping arsenal?
Hands down, TSN $0.50 files.

Depending on your monthly consumption, the TSN $59.00/Mo. plan isn't a bad deal. Includes .pdf past performances and CSV results files also.

What does CSV stand for?

Sorry, I was in engineer mode on a handicappers forum (The caffene hasn't kicked in yet) :)
CSV is a mnemonic for "Comma Seperated Value". Bris and TSN call them "Data files". The TSN files that come with the package are the exotic results files.
