Handifast Ver. MT-6

[Handiman]

Big,

The program should read tsn files as that is the file that was first used.

Jim,

The displaying of the default points is not a bug, just my lazy ass didn't feel like changing them But I will probably do that in the next version or two. Next is to put all the horses with their odds in as I said I would do that and forgot.

I believe this program will be an ongoing project till we run out of things to do or go past my ability to code them.

Hope this helps everybody who chooses to use it.

Handi (Doug and HH):

I haven't even had the chance to get home to download your MT-6 (Six Track Version) of Handifast and give it a good look as of yet, but, quite frankly, I remain pretty much speechless at the level of kindness and generosity that you guys have continued to show through the entire development of Handifast to where it stands today. Simply Unbelievable stuff. I am nearly 46 years of age and have only been handicapping approximately half of that time, and I can honestly say I don't believe that I will ever experience or see something like it ever again. You guys have put something truly special together in the Handifast program.

A most sincere thanks to you all...

I'm using the MCP files, and I'm getting nothing in the RT column. No zeros, no nothing, just blank. Anyone else getting this?

The RT column is a dead column as of right now. Not a bug. I just have finished I think, a re-version of the new version. Now the program will display the custom numbers above the columns to which they are assigned. Also all the horses with their ml odds and points are displayed below the summary.

I will upload this to Doug as soon as I can.

But the csv stuff is going to take me a while to do.

Tom,

I think I read a while back that it would remain blank until it was determined whether to put Querin points and the running style there. I use bris single file format and I get nothing there either.

I'm presently viewing SA in MT-6 with it opened as Track 3, default settings, and Track 4 with settings similar to those lsosa has mentioned. Both settings picked the same horse, # 1, as the Top4 pick. It looked terrible in the form never finishing closer than 13 lengths in it's three starts and went off at 67/1 and finished 3rd behind the two favorites paying $9.40. Upon a closer look, I noticed the horse did run much closer and better in the early stages of its last race--something I had completely overlooked.

Bottom line, if it's in the Top4 CHECK IT OUT.

[Handiman]

Ok you whiners..... I just uploaded Ver 6.1 to Doug. As soon as he gets it I'm sure he will make it available.

I say 6.1 here but the program will still show ver. 6 since the small things I added today should have been in the release last night anyway. It was just my lazy old butt was too tired to get it done.

Hope you like this new version.

Very nice! Thank you.

Now that I see all the horses, I have a question and/or thought? It appears after we scratch horses from a race, the program is not making a recalculation but rather just removing the scratched horses with their output still there. Is that by design or should the program make a calculation after the scratches? Also, not a big deal but if you have room putting the headers at the top (in the same manner as the top 4) of the listing of all horses would be convenient.

Cannot believe how fast you got this done and I really think the program is taking a nice shape. Six tracks (or 1 track with multiple looks) at one time is sweet.

Thank you.

Jim

Jim,

I meant to put up the heading and again forgot. I'm nearly brain dead.

As for the calculations, unless you are seeing something I'm not aware of, the calcs aren't done till after the scratches are done. Let me know what you are seeing and I will look into it.

Thanks to everybody for the nice words. I appreciate hearing that our work is being well received.

When I scratched the horse BAD DEBT, in the first @ AQU, it came up as a blank space on the handicap TOP FOUR.

Sorry, this was actually the 2nd @ AQU.

[dartman51]

Here's something else that doesn't make sense. When I leave BAD DEBT in the race, he doesn't make the TOP 4. And he is a fts.

[Handiman]

I will look at that right now. happened to me too when I checked it.

Okay I just found a major error and bug in the latest version. It happened when I added all the horses down below. I will fix it tonight and reload for Doug and he can make it available again in the morning.
