Beaver's Yeast, FullCardReports, RacingPicks, and KeyPony
I've read threads about each.
Finding a copy of Beaver's Yeast is tough nowadays. I've read in other threads that both FullCardReports, RacingPicks, and/or KeyPony all use, fully or in part, the ratings from Beaver's Yeast. If any of those sites do base their reports on Beaver's Yeast, it'd be cheaper to use those than to try to find a copy of Beaver's Yeast and buy the BRIS files.
Can anybody clarify whether any/all of these (or other) sites incorporate Beaver's Yeast, along with any other positive/negative things about them? Thanks in advance.

Keypony said they don't use Beaver's program. I never got an answer from the others.

Wow, that's a name from the past. I think that was on the old Prodigy board and that the creator of that program (the Beav himself) passed away something like 15 +/- years ago...

DOS software
Beav sold 1 copy to Linda and her husband who ran racingpicks. Then the two split and husband started fullcardreports. Both the same and base on John's DOS program.
Program is most likely even hard to run on 32bit version of windows or Dosbox.
To give the concept a try, John's program was computerized version of book "Pace makes the race" by Tom Hambleton and Dick Schmidt" and fine tuned for S. California tracks.
John's son was trying to port the program for windows but did not or was not able to finish. (according to John's brother-in-law)
Most computer generated handicapping sheets in the 90's had the same format of simple spreadsheet output. Just have to compare free samples to see if picks are the same.

I was under the impression Fullcardreports.com was out of business although they still have an active web site. I signed up a couple of months back then never got acknowledgment email or access, so lodged a dispute with Paypal and got my money back.
When I go to racingpicks.com the page comes up blank.
If anyone has a different experience please let me know.

I don't believe it is. Contenderswins.com is run by Terry Sarnoskie.

I just looked at the sample reports and the second link/report from the left is the same as what FullCardReports was publishing.

I run the Yeast program in DosBox on my Windows 10 64 bit with no problem. With DosBox I use another program called Dosprn 1.79 to print or capture the output from DosBox. The little trick is to uncheck the autoprint box. It then saves the output to a file called prnspl which I open with a text editor. You then can remove scratches before printing. I usually don't print, just read it off the screen.
I use the Yeast program for the workout number which some of the other programs I use doesn't have. I like the workout number mainly for maidens and maiden claimers. I have caught some good longshots when the other horses run below par. Still like to see a good workout number for horses coming off a rest. The Power number is also pretty solid.

If I remember right you need to use the DOSBox MB6 (Megabuild) version to be able to print to dosprn.
