True, I was responding from my phone and should have clarified. Although I thought Value Capper was cheaper now than 18 months ago, but could be wrong.

Same price!

Until this thread I didn't know you played the ponies.


My handicapping is centered around projecting numbers based on today's field. Then move to pedigree, connections and lastly to price.


You express this as "likely to improve further today". Projecting figures (accurately) is an art form and requires a huge skill set.


Congratulations to someone that I thought was only interested in discussing religion. Not many players think this way or have the skills needed!

I will take your suggestion and reach out to Bill V and Randy as well. I’m a member on your site.

My son tried to install it on my 64 bit and the error said it was 32 bit.

Hi coacht,

Maybe this will help.

I have run the Taulbot Pace Calculator software on the Windows 7 and Windows 10 64 bit operating systems. I think the problems occurs when trying to install off the original cd's unto a 64 bit system. That didn't work for me.

This worked for me. Install it from the original discs on to your old Windows XP 32 bit system first. Then copy the folder you installed it in to a USB drive and move it over to your Windows 10 or 7 64 bit system. You can just copy the whole folder with the program in it and then move it or you can zip it up first, move it and then unzip it on your 64 bit system. Make a short cut from the main program in the folder to your desktop for easy access. It runs just fine for me.


As far as the Help file, I found this link on answers.microsoft.com. About the 7th reply down is a reply by Alan Copp, that has instructions and links on how to get the Help file to work on Windows 10. It's been a while since I did it , but it worked for me on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 64 bit systems. Every time there's a major upgrade to Windows 10 (twice a year), I have to redo the help file.

It looks like some of the links in the Help File Info link are outdated and don't work.

In response to the survey, I have been using a 'other not listed' program for several years. Prior to that, in the 90's, I used a program called Darkhorse, which I thought was quite good. Recently I have been searching for this program without success.

Does anyone have the setup files for the Darkhorse program or know where to find them?

Hi jamalka,

I remember the program you were talking about. It was interesing but cost more than I wanted to spend at that time. I had the demo version at one time and had a few screenshots. Looked around on my computer but haven't been able to find them. I believe you had to buy the data from them. I don't know if it had manual entry. I used the wayback machine and found a link to the program. Looks like there is a download link on the site. Link below:

DH99

[jamalka]

Hi KyRacer,

Thanks for your quick reply and the link to DH99. I've been able to download a DOS version, the Windows version has no active link. I haven't loaded the DOS version yet, hopefully it will run OK in DOSBox. Very much appreciate your effort.

I've been playing the horse's for over 30 years and have my own program I've used that entire time with great success. Now that I'm retired, I've got more time to work on it and am giving it to everyone for free. It gives you a fair odds line for every horse and helps you quickly identify the best value horse in a race. I'll post 1 or 2 tracks a day and I will post all my results on daily basis.

Check it out and let me know if there is a specific track you want me to post. Today I posted Lone Star and Santa Anita.

I'll go ahead and run GP as well today. Yesterday was awful "off the turf" with ton of scratches. Hard to get a free odds line for every horse, hope you enjoy it.

Are you giving your picks or the program for free?

[ChartingHorseValue]

Just the picks, the program is too valuable to give away. I'll sell it!
