User places all available BRIS .drf or Jcapper .jcp and comma delimited results .xrd files for same year into one folder.
__________________________________________________

The user pushes ONE BUTTON and Handifast imports the first .drf\.jcp data file along with the corresponding .xrd results file. Handifast loads data for first race and removes scratches and applies any surface changes discovered in the results file. Handifast then generates all twenty factor rankings and creates a "RACE CATEGORY" key for each horse that describes the Track, Class, Distance, Surface, and age (young or old). Handifast then saves the rankings, race category key, and finish position for each horse to a "RANKED" table.

Handifast processes all races for the card and grabs the next data file in the year folder. Repeat the same procedure until all files for the year are processed. If you had all race cards for the year, you would end up with a "RANKED" table with approximately 40,000 horses.

Handifast then processes the "RANKED" file and builds impact values values for top four rankings for each of the twenty factors in each category. Save these results to a table named "IMPVALUE"

Handifast then looks at each race category in the impvalue file and selects only the top performing factors based on impact values. Handifast then creates a "BESTOF20" results file containing only the best performing factors in each race category. All steps above could be automated and the user ends up with optimized category factors with the push of ONE BUTTON..

Now we are ready to play today's races. Place todays .drf\.jcp files into a folder called "today" and push ONE BUTTON. Handifast processes all race cards for today and creates an oddsline for each horse based only on the best performing factors for its race category.

The 40,000 horse RANKED table, the IMPVALUE table, the BESTOF20, and TODAY'S files should be exported as a "comma delimited" files so that database or spreadsheet uses can easily access all the data.

Handifast could automatically print a one page report for each race card containing only minimum horse data and optimized odds-line.
