Looking for Handicapping Help - Dam/Sire Stats

[jayfree41]

Hi all - love this board and have been on it for over 10 years . And moderator, please let me know if this post belongs in another section?

Nonetheless, I am busy fellow who's looking for help from an avid handicapper who's looking for some side income to help do some Dam/Sire stat compilations for me using DRF formulator (or other resources you might have).

Maybe Craig's List is a better venue for this request. But I thought I would try first where the avid handicapper's are. You can reply here or email me at jayfree1967@gmail.com for more details. Jay.

not sure what exactly you are looking for, but a former mentor of mine use to swear by the sire book that BRIS put out annually. I am not even sure if they still print it. Also, Bloodhorse puts out a report you could reference.

STATS Race Lens eliminates the need to compile stats because you can view them on the fly as you are handicapping. You can also access nearly every conceivable stat through the angles module. You can view some YouTube videos at https://www.youtube.com/user/EquibaseCompany or check out the free race of the day which allows access to some of the data at

Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions.

Horses (except at the very highest level of the game) a LIMITED ability to alter the way they effectively run (pressers, sustained, late etc) and once they are challenged by a pace scenario that weakens their ability to run to that standard, they do not do as well.

Other than form cycle changes, most horses are "stuck" in that style....Top horses follow the old adage "Class laughs at pace."

It is my contention that the only significant change that a horse deals with race to race is the pace challenge by the assembled group of other pace styles. IF this horse fits, it does well.

Horses do the running.....That's it

Hi - thanks so much for introducing me to your program --- looks good.

Is there a Siblings history by distance in this program? I have been checking it out...

[ubercapper]

I'm not sure if that's directed at me. If it is and if you have questions please send me a private message.

IMO...a confirmed pace-setter can successfully stalk the pace if given a more patient ride by the jockey. I've seen this done even by $2,500 claimers at Portland Meadows.
