Yes I love that tool for PDF's.
I print to PDF, use that to work it up, then print to the printer.

Strange: but this mark up tool has really helped my capping out. Using different colors, for different angles, also race shape. works for me. Chris

BTW- hint, when you print like I do to the free Bullzip PDF printer from the internet browser, since the report is in HTML
http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php#download

Be sure to go to...

Tools->Internet Options->Advanced, scroll to PRINTING
checkbox, "Print background Images and Colors"

Even if you are printing to a "real" printer.

Also this is a great PDF tool for "Marking Up the PDF"
http://www.docu-track.com/downloads/users/
Get the free pdfXchange viewer.

I have found that the FAST numbers are a great way to narrow down the field. I believe it was Dick Schmidt that suggested half the field plus one for your contenders. If your field is 8 horses your contenders would be half the field = 4 + 1 = 5. The top 5 (or whatever the field + 1 is) FAST numbers are going to have the winner in there quite often if not most of the time. I don't have the exact % of the time though. It cuts down on your handicapping time.

It was Dave Schwartz that suggested the contender selection process, my apologies.

You need to install a PDF printer, see above. I use bullzip, once installed just choose print like you would to print the report but select the PDF printer instead, it will open up a SAVE to box, save the Printed PDF and it will open in the PDF viewer of choice, use PDF xchange and there are all kinds of markup tools.

Sometimes it is difficult to get your true message across in the electronic format. Yes I am interested in your approach to your selections using your program. It's not that I want to copy you, it's more like getting it from the horses mouth, so to speak. Thanks.
