Can you beat Handifast

I pose this question to Handifast users. You no doubt watched the Black Box contest and saw some decent days from HF's default settings. Well we are doing the the Wall Street ROI contest now and you can easily see I SUCK BIGTIME

So I did the two tracks we did over the last two days with Handifast defaults and here is what occurred.....

8 wins with Top Pick out of 18 races for 44% strike rate.
Only turned 5% because of low odds horses.

But that is SO MUCH better than I did with my analytical prowess . So my question remains can you do better than this with different settings. I would love to hear from some of you who have fooled around with the settings and found some success.

Here are some settings I'm seeing fair results with:
SAX CL58,DS10,EP30.LP55,FM20,PCR40,AW60, FT20,MY20,DT20,FAST 25,TR10.JK10,ML10

HOL AND TUP CL25,DS10,EP30,LP25,FM20,PCR45,AW20,TF20,MY20,DT20 ,FAST25,TR10,JK10,ML10

GPX & FG
CL65,DS10,EP26,LP60,FM22,PCR40,AW60,TF20,MY20,DT25 ,FAST 25,TR15,JY15,ML10

Here's a couple of examples. 2/8/10 fairgrounds race 2 : top 4 handifast boxed $1,570 superfecta plus tri and exacta. 2/8/10 turf paradise races 6-7-8-9 top handifast-tophandifast-tophandifast-2ndhandifast pick 4 $2,953.

Question for you guys. I downloaded the free program. Can I use exported formulater files for it? If not which is best to purchase (TSN or BRIS) and what specific types do I order? Thanks.

Can't use Formulator. TSN shut down - it was owned by the same owners of BRIS - they used different data sources at one time. I think BRIS is owned by TwinSpires now.

As far I know, BRIS is the only possibility for now - $1 drf file or the more expensive multicaps file.

He only shows settings through the ML column so most likely HHXv2.1. Handi6 can load settings through the last column - PWR.

Thus the reason I threw th whole thing out there to all of you ! I get beat by the program everyday, it sucks.
