There can be huge difference in what you'll get out of software generated unique numbers vs just eyeballing Bris past performances or using Bris Prime Power all by itself. The value of unique software generated numbers comes about in races where the software picks something different than what the public does.
One of the things I recently did was compile Starter Database files for 2004 covering what I perceive to be the major circuits running. This makes it possible for JCapper users to test out strengths and weaknesses of various ratings for themselves. I made every attempt to include every race date during calendar year 2004 for the following tracks:
New York: AQU BEL SAR
Florida: CRC GP
Kentucky: CD KEE
Southern California: SA HOL DMR
Here's what I have for the tracks listed above (every race in the Starter Database - all distances, surfaces, and classes) based on a flat $2.00 win bet with no further handicapping whatsoever and no attempt to break ties:
