Pace Makes the Race Software
Pace Makes the Race Software
I am currently deep in development of a new software product - Pace Makes the Race - which will be available by Christmas, 2015!
I have named it in honor of my friends, Dick Schmidt and Tom Hambleton (now deceased), authors of the book, Pace Makes the Race. It will build on the concepts set down by Howard Sartin, Tom Brohamer and the aforementioned pair.
This product will be somewhat of a throw-back to my early days in the horse racing software market. It will support small, compact competitor neural network models, along with very advanced versions of Tom Brohamer's original brilliance, the Brohamer Model.
These neural networks will not only pick winners but will help with contender selection and exactas as well.
The pricing model will be an annual fee. DOWNLOADS WILL NOT REQUIRE A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION!
If you have ideas for bells and whistles that you would like to see added, please post them here.
Regards,
Dave Schwartz
PS: This delivery date is firm.

Perhaps, but only if someone can explain how it works.

What data files will it be compatible with?
What I'd really, really like to see is the implementation of using track pars to adjust the selected paceline to today's track and distance, then compute the FPS numbers and AP, EP, SP and FX rankings as well as %E. My current MPH software does not do that and I've been searching for a less time consuming way to do it compared to what I do now.
Building decision models and track profiles like Brohamer suggests in MPH would also be a must.
I'd like to learn the Hat's Match Up, but I've yet to really dive into it. Computer automation for it would be pretty neat.

HDW will be the data provider.

All that you requested above is standard, as well as a great many custom adjustments. Also, there will be a spot ready for Trakus horse times if we ever get that far.

Absolutely.

Yes, and the ability to create your own rule-based paceline selection systems.
Giles, yes. What is "PPG?"

Manual paceline selection will hopefully be an option

Of course.
Also, the pacelines selected can be weighted.
Isn't someone going to ask about how velocity will be expressed?

LOL - You can choose between FPS, Pace "Ratings," and a couple of other running-style-based approaches.
Again, I want to reiterate that this software WILL be ready by Christmas.
BTW, HSH users will get the program and downloads for free.
