Start here
HTR
The HorseStreet Handicapper
Jcapper
RDSS Racing Decision Support System
Do a search on this board or google for any of the above. Tons of discussion threads over the last ten years on all of these.
I'm sure others will post other packages. All of the above packages principles/creators etc are members of this board. They are all first rate guys and they have endured for a reason. They all have their own comprehensive websites too. I urge you to visit them.
This should take you about two weeks to look into all of these packages. Get busy

If you change the drop down box from "Last Month" to "Beginning" you will have over 2,600 threads and over 41,0000 posts going back to March of 2001.

Mainly a black box method that produces good enough results to beat the takeout.
Sounds simple, right?

i see you joined pa in 2009, yet only made 50 or so posts, have you spent alot of time studying handicapping?
what has been my experience is that it is a very time consuming endeavor to beat the takeout, and i have only once in the past 7 years myself. the other years i consistently am minus 1-2 percent roi WITH a rebate.
i have found after using various softwares for analyzing horseraces over the years, that i get what i pay for. it's called capitalism.

I believe raybo has some sort of Blackbox using excel. I don't know if he is still selling it or not. A few others posters here have blackboxes, but I think they have cut off any more sales of them.

It could be argued that a "black box" is virtually the only type of app that can leverage a statistical advantage. Mix in subjective opinion, and--because that subjective opinion is only vaguely repeatable--regression modeling becomes a joke. Declarations that black box apps are impossible are usually made by those who are unable to program them.
