This is to announce the release of EquiSim ROI 5.0. A program demo is available at
http://www.thorotech.com.
EquiSim 5.0 features the "Formula View" - a tool that allows you to create custom, spread sheet style views that can access practically all of the data in BRIS and TSN data cards as well as the information that EquiSim provides. This information can be used in the Formula View "as is", or it can be manipulated using math operators, VBScript functions, and a dozen or so "custom functions" described in the User's Guide. The goal of the Formula View is to allow you to create both custom presentations of the information you use to handicap races as well as custom "systems".
EquiSim 5.0 also introduces DB Direct - an add-on feature to EquiSim that allows you to create custom databases and export data from Formula View templates directly to them (MS Access, aka Jet, and MS SQL Server are officially supported) quickly, easily, and without needless repetition. For those wishing to create custom horse racing databases, but are unsure of how to get the data from the cards to the database - this is the answer.
EquiSim also includes a litany of other handicapping tools, including its 3D Simulations, its Profiler, and its integrated selections performance analysis tool. For more information, please visit
