ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SOFTWARE HTRF 65?

anotherdave · 01-05-2002, 06:16 PM

I use HTRF. I quite like it. Major flaw - lack of adjustments for track to track. But when my horses all have run at the same track, it gets some nice results. I especially like the odds line in that situation.

Even if you use a bris data file...does it not have track to track adjustments in it?

When it works out times (and AP, EP, etc.) you can choose whether to include the BRIS track variant to somewhat deal with the day-to-day variations of the same racetrack, but if you have a horse from Aqueduct and a horse from Turf Paradise (for example), it treats 112.0 at Aqueduct the same as 112.0 from turf Paradise.

They did try to incorporate Dave Schwartz's par times in it last year, but there was some problem that wouldn't allow it to be done. I don't remember why.

I still like the program - especially the odds line, but it would be nice to deal with the track to track adjustments even if it had an option to do it manually it would be nice.

AnotherDave,

We have not yet made a formal announcement, but we will be producing par times this year.

Hopefully we will be able to produce a file that is compatible with HTRF.

Regards,
Dave Schwartz

Glad to hear pars are not a dead issue.
Word of advice, don't Let Frank Stronach in on the project....he will want pars only for Magna Tracks! ~G~

Stranger things have happened. <G>

Dave,

Just wondering. Do you plan to sell the pars through Horsestreet or through Cynthia like last year?

I used the registered version of this program for over a year. It is a good program. I used the form and pars at the end of the program. You need to activate this portion. Whenever the horses form number is over the par number they do very well. HTRF is an excellent companion program IMO and an excellent value.

As Dave Schwartz indicates, the utilitzation of
track to track par times is once more a
distinct possibility with HTRF. I have been
in touch with Dave. I do have a version of
HTRF (Release 7.0) which will use Dave's track
to track par files.

HTRF users will need to subscribe to the
track par files through Dave as well as
upgrade their HTRF files to Release 7.0.

Regarding HorseStreet Pars:

We have gotten permission from HDW to produce and distribute par times. They are in production as I write this and should be ready before the end of January.

We will market the pars ourselves. Check our website for pricing, product description, file formats and availability in the next copuple of weeks.

This is our first year of making pars with HDW data. I have to tell you that it is the easiest set of par times I have ever built. The data is unbelievably clean. Those guys should be commended.

Regards,
Dave Schwartz

That sounds good. I'll be one of the first in line. I hope the adjustments are self-contained - I don't have to purchase them from somewhere else (nothing personal Dave Schwartz!). Also the
adjustments cover discrepancies between times at the same track at different distances - when adjusting for distance one horse ran at 6f the other at 6.5 and they are both adjusted to 6.5 it is a different adjustment depending on the track.

That may be too much too wish for, but I'll be mostly pleased with self-contained track to track adjustments!

Dave Schwartz · 01-10-2002, 01:52 PM

TheOtherDave,

Just spoke with Jim and we'll have a file working to test later today. It should be available to end users in just a few days.

We will be the ones vending the files along with the future updates.

Hey Dave,

When you use HTRF, do you use the variant option.

For BRIS files, does the program use the DRF Variant or a BRIS Variant.

Thanks,
