Thoroughbred Report Card Wizard available for download

[douglasw32]

I would like to again thank Raybo for an excellent tool, with AllData and the previous versions of handifast that headhawg and Handiman polished, I have been able to test and retest many of the angles that started out with the crazy ideas of horse racing that my wife had when I first introduced her to the sport-and grew into a cooperative effort to create software that was 100% free-

I also want to again thank PA himself for space on the forum, all of the users that gave me there "special" insights and formulas to take into consideration, all the users who contributed to my learning of programming (and google).

I finally have a program that I am in LOVE with.

The new program can be downloaded here.

http://localpcpros.com/handifast/

TRC_Wizard_setup.exe


What it does is fairly straight forward.

Generates a Power Rating, Sorts by that. Shows basic information on the race and horses, incorporates a custom modified Speed Figure and bris's Early/Late pace numbers.

Enjoy.

As soon as I get the source code cleaned up I will upload that also.

[raybo]

Doug,

You're welcome! I'll be sure to check out your latest release.

Thanks for your time, energy and "giving" spirit!

[douglasw32]

Thanks John for pointing out the fact that the first lifetime race was not showing for every horse.

I fixed the bug, anyone who downloaded the setup in the last 24 hours should go back and get the one there now.

I named it different so you could tell.

f_TRC_Wizard_setup.exe (f in front for fixed)

It will just install over the previous one if you have already installed.

btw- this program should be completely portable, it can run out of any folder and pick up race cards from any folder and works under wine in linux.

The report being in html format works if emailed to any smartphone.

Douglas, Thanks for sharing.

Any chance of adding ".mcp" files?

Doug:

Thanks a million for sharing all of your fine Handifast and HHV versions. They can be very devastating at finding nice horses in not only T-Bred but for the Quarters as well. I use Vers. 6 HHV2.1 and Handifast V 7 as well to help me to isolate strong plays and I'm often very successful in P4's even using very small ticket configurations. This is most definitely yet another awesome tool to add to the handicapping arsenal.

A HUGE thank you goes out to you, Handi and Headhawg for your phenomenal generosity.

All the BEST to you and yours! :)

[headhawg]

A HUGE thank you goes out to you, Handi and Headhawg for your phenomenal generosity.It's nice to hear that you are getting good use of the programs. I'm sorry I haven't been able to add improvements to HHX as of yet but it's on my to-do list. ;)

Version 3 out in a month or so. Stay tuned.

[dartman51]

Doug, first, let me thank you for your continued efforts to help all of us here. I do have a question about your newest effort. I downloaded, installed and ran the program as usual. Opened up AP, and I must say, I like the now look. When I opened BEL, I noticed that it included the AP horses mixed in with the BEL. If I close AP, and run BEL alone, all is well. With previous versions, I could open as many different tracks as I wanted. Is this a BUG, or is this the NORM?

Thanks again for all you do. :ThmbUp:

I think I found the answer, so please disregard. I didn't notice that you had to EXIT after processing each card.

THANKS AGAIN!!

[Vinnie]

Headhawg:

Greetings! I hope that you are well? :) Thank you for everything you guys do!! I love every version of Handifast and HHV2, etc.. I really look forward to seeing Version 3 when you put it out sir.

"YOU ARE THE MAN"!

Have a wonderful holiday weekend.

This works with Quarter Horses also.

Thank you Doug.

Have a fantastic holiday weekend. :)

[dartman51]

Doug,

I apologize for asking, but could you possibly put the previous version of TRC back up. Like a dumb ass, let the NEW version overwrite the old, and I really didn't want to lose the previous version. :blush:

Thanks.

[douglasw32]

Oh boy.... um, not sure... let me look for it.

[douglasw32]

I think it is back

[dartman51]

Thanks Doug, you're the best. :ThmbUp:

I did not "DOWNLOAD" a file but tried to use an existing MCP file from my existing database files.

Ray

[headhawg]

you are the best. after headhawg The things that people will say when you owe them 20 bucks. :lol:

Thanks fight. :)

[douglasw32]

Ray- What is it that is not working out?
does it not "see" the file or not read it and produce output ?

[punteray]

Doug

NOo matter what file I select it shows BMT! 2011-6-1. Where should the files be located? Maybe that is my problem!!!

Ray

[Gail]

could you explain to me the proper way to use the program? i am not sure where the ajusted dpped igure is or wher the other ithe other items are that you have talked about. i guess what i am reall y saying is can you explain to me how to ust the program . thanks Gail

[douglasw32]

Ray- I really do not know, can you send me one of the files your using to the dwood45@stny.rr.com

[douglasw32]

Gail- I will write up some instructions and post them

[douglasw32]

Try Running these two files here.

http://localpcpros.com/handifast/Support%20Files/

The library one will leave behind a shortcut on your desktop to "check your computers speed" just delete it.

Then try the race card over again and see if it produces output.

[mabred]

Douglas

not a complaint but after reading the extended running lines at belmont today

there seems to be a lot of duplication.Maybe it

comes that way from the bris file I use MCP files.

thanks for sharing
good job

You may be doing what I was doing. You MUST close the program after you run EACH track. If you don't, the tracks will duplicate and mingle. :ThmbUp:

Yep be sure to close the program in between running cards. I am trying to fix that

[netbet]

All,

I've downloaded the software, installed the 2 support files and then tried to run the 5/31 DelPark file through and I am only seeing the Belmont output.

Patrick

[punteray]

NETBET

I have the same problem (see post #24)

Doug is looking into it (I hope!)

Ray

[Partsnut]

I always appreciate the free software and downloaded it today.

Unfortunately Microsoft Security Essentials indicated that I got a little more then I bargained for.
Here's the message I received:

BUT !
I make a living removing this crap and I did use a free installer to package it so take no chances !!!!

Everyone uninstall it- it may just be a false positive with MS Security Essentials but take it off your systems and run An antivirus and malware scan to be safe, it is not worth the risk !!!!

I will repackage it as just a zip file, correct the bugs pointed out so far and reupload it.

[KyRacer]

Ray and netbet,

Try right clicking on the file or shortcut, and Run As Administrator. I was having the same problem. When I clicked on the file normally, it would open and seem to process the file but the output to my browser wouldn't change. Now it works fine. I'm running Windows 7 pro 64 bits.

KyRacer

[punteray]

Run as administrator----I got this message "comdlg32.ocx or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: afile is missing or invalid.

Will wait for new download!!!

Interesting.....I'm running it on Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit with a Quad Core machine, and it runs fine. I do have a couple of programs that I have to "run as administrator", but not this one. That's curious. Oh, and NO problems with a virus or malware either. :ThmbUp:

Bobby,
It's supposed to be this:

f_TRC_Wizard_setup.exe (f in front for fixed)

But I don't see either the one you mentioned or the "fixed" one on the linked site. Maybe he took it down for some reason?

Bobby,

I re-read the previous posts by Doug and, after there was a suspected "bug" in the installer, he took it down and was going to repackage it as a .zip file, but then he had his medical problem and the .zip file never got put up on the site.

Looks like you'll have to wait until he gets back from his surgery/recuperation.

[douglasw32]

Thanks everyone, wow what a ride, not exactly like getting a cavity filled but not really open heart surgery either.

Lots of morphine, now just R&R for 3 weeks, but as I am bored as hell I am working on fixing up the previously released program that had some problems.

Soon to be back
