While 'just cool' has some cool stuff laid out there, I am a simple country boy that is thinking that I want to develop a way to ferret out the best setups I can find, without having to have my computer running continuously for the next 3 or 4 years working through the 10 trillion iterations.
Again, I'm between 'Dumb as mud' and 'Smart as a cricket' so I do have coding boundaries.

Handi,
Nobody 'Dumb as mud' and 'Smart as a cricket' could ever create Handifast. You enlightened and influenced many on this board with your many contributions.
Everything I described would only take one night of processing on a 3.0Ghz processor and fast hard drive. Processing thirty race cards on a Saturday in June would only take maybe 15 minutes. But that's not the point. If you have coding boundaries, maybe you should work on automating the processing of race cards and building an export table containing the rankings, values, and selections with the push of only ONE BUTTON. Handifast users could then export the table as a CSV file. Database and spreadsheet users would then have easy access to Handifast data. Users could "ferret out the best setups" and re-type into Handifast the newly found optimized setups for different distances and surfaces .
During one of Dave Schwartz HSH Insider's Club Shows, he mentioned that this year he was going to release a stand-alone program which would allow users to import their own custom factors or output from other programs such as Handifast. Users would then have the ability to create consensus type of selections uses no HDW data or any other data source. He said the new software had some very cool features. This new software would be an exciting option for all users of horse racing software. Dave is always thinking of new ways to help horse-players, he is a great asset to this "game of ours".
