Well, I do know the names of the horses in the big races, because I have more money invested in those races. Plus, how could I discuss those races here without knowing the names?

I understand that. What I was trying to say{not successfully} is big races are not more important than everyday races in terms of looking for a profit.

Correct! The big races offer larger pools to bet into, so the potential reward is larger, thus you can justify investing more money into those betting pools.

I'm only familiar with a few of the programs on the list and the only one (that I am aware of ), in which the user does not have to download something else is BetMix. Are there other handicapping programs that are what I call, "self-contained", doesn't make them good better or worse.

Randy Giles' Pace Appraiser
I'm returning to racing after a long hiatus, and would like to resume with Pace Appraiser.
I have the Lab and Velocity and was wondering if you have the course from the Forum that went with the ppp's (they can't currently be accessed) or could put me on to someone that might.
I'm also the owner of the original Velocity Generator but my passcode no longer opens the program. I think Giles abandoned it (I'd love to get that revived).
I thank you in advance for any consideration you may give me, and remain
Yours,
Peter Manti

Hi Pete,
PaceAppraiser no longer exists. The site software has not been updated for quite a few years and is not being offered to the general public.
I am probably one of the few that has a lifetime membership to the site that has a password, an old XP computer, a older version of Firefox with an obsolete version of Java. I am fortunate enough to have the ability access the site and convert a data file into a PaceAppraiser file. Randy and I have a long standing friendship and we converse every so often.
He can still be contacted by email on his website, www.paceappraiser.com
I have put in a call on your behalf and hopefully he will respond in a day or two. I have informed him of your post. I am reasonably sure that he will check this site and might even respond to you.
You can always feel free to contact me at the email listed below.
Stay safe and stay well.

PaceAppraiser Picks (EVD) 07-16-20
Pete,
Your interest in PaceAppraiser revived my interest and memories of
a fantastic application that I used successfully here on this board back in 2009 (P.A.I.H.L) contest and in the 2009 Meadowlands survivor contest (most wins category).
I will stick my neck out and post tonights EVD race card picks to see if PaceAppraiser is still effective for me.
Please see attached file.

Ouch and then some.
It's been a while since I used that application.
I will try it in tomorrows 14 races at MTH (The Haskell Day Challenge).
Maybe I'll do better. Anyhow, you know what they say, nothing ventured, nothing lost.
Free contests work for me.
Stay safe, Stay well.

Partsnut,
Thanks for your info on PaceAppraiser and it not being updated for sometime. I was kinda thinking of buying it but now that I know I'd need XP/Java etc. I think it's best I don't. I do own the Extreme Pace Handicapping manual and have always liked Mr. Giles' work.
Looking forward to your MTH post today.
Best of luck

Hi,
I was speaking with Randy yesterday and he mentioned to me that
he was contemplating the possibility of making " PaceAppraiser as a stand alone software ( one time purchase) as opposed to an internet based subscription application.
Hopefully, he will do just that. This way all you need would be a data file and
then "off to the races".
This of course is dependent on his son's available time, who is the programmer.
I know that Randy still has a following and I for one would be all in on whatever he comes up with.
Let's hope he follows through with this.
