About 5 months away, I'd guess.
This is not a trivial project.

Good ideas take a while to implement.

Meanwhile, I am writing this new software in a new language (which will not replace our existing software, BTW).
Learning a new language after 23 years in Clarion is a real adventure. But the language, WinDev, is an amazing piece of work.
It just has everything in it.
Direct access to everything from MS Office to Open Office. You can even put a spreadsheet right inside the software!
Even has native support for an internal macro language for the end user!
Those of you who are programmers may want to take a look.
http://www.windev.com/
In comparison to what I have been using (Clarion), one would have to buy so many 3rd party products to get "everything" that the cost to a new developer today would be around $7,000!

LOL - I resemble that remark.
In my defense (do I need one?), at least the lights are still on bright enough to be nerd-like AND excited.

need help?
so many ideas , so so many.
some things to look at
ranking of individual pace figures, speed figures, for all availble races. (need daabase table).
class PERFORMANCE by distance and race type grouped indiviudally and by aggregate if possible. (need database table).
These are some items I have found useful.

ebcorde,
Our current software has 4,000+ factors. This program will not be anything like that one. (Neither will it be a replacement for it.)
The scope of this program is to be simple for the user. It will not run on data lie that.

software
Good you will do great but please add a database to your program. The reason is to gain better insight for control on the software. Which area of the program winner are produce.

Oh, it will keep everything that it is fed. But it will not use conventional horse racing data.

That alone might be the main thing. Because when you use conventional methods you get conventional results.

I like the idea of keeping everything that it is fed! Sounds interesting Dave, look forward to seeing what you come up with there!

Handicapping Project
Hi Dave,
Just checking in to see how the project is coming.
I think many of us are still anxious to see and try it out! 
Can you give us an update?
Thanks!
