How does Winning at the Track work?
|
Winning at the Track is a speed/pace program that measures the capability of each horse in the race based on its most recent (up to eight) past performances. These capabilities are displayed in a variety of ways such as Ability; Early Speed; Late Speed, etc. It all begins with a Winning at the Track (WATT) race file and each horse's History Worksheet.
Do you remember this classic Kentucky Derby? Menifee was one of the contenders ...
The numbers are entered into each horse's History Worksheet, either by typing data from the Daily Racing Form or by downloading a file from Bloodstock Research. The BRIS data is transferred to the Worksheet using the WATT DATABASE Program (accomplished quickly, easily, and inexpensively without typing). All the racing surfaces and distances are automatically adjusted to today's race track and distance (hence, the benefit of the inexpensive annual updates). When a BRIS file is used, the time to complete an entire race card is ten minutes or less.
The P/M Table (one for each race) is one of thirteen screens in the program that display the data and the ratings for each animal. The horses are ranked by the program according to their overall capabilities (ie, by their P/M Ratings, or Pole Speed talent, or their Late Speed capabilities, and so on).
Below is another valuable screen found in this program, although these figures do not affect the talent rankings. This is called the Key Horse Statistics screen:
Even though the program ranked Charismatic higher, Menifee was established as our "Key Horse" in this contest. The results of this race were not entirely disappointing for most Winning at the Track users, however. Many called to tell us they won the trifecta.
Charismatic's winning ticket paid $62.60. The Charismatic and Menifee exacta paid $727, and the trifecta with Cat Thief paid $5,866. The winner's time was 2:03.1, exactly as the Pace Analyst module estimated.
By hitting "Go To" on the WATT main screen the program takes you to any of the three revealing sections ... the Pace Analyst, or the Graphics, or Exotics Wagering.
The Database Program is part of the package, but can be purchased separately ($149.95). It creates WATT Race Files for both the Windows version and the classic DOS program. BRIS past performance files can be downloaded two days before race day and cost only $1.00. Annual program updates are inexpensive and can be received via e-mail.
Every WATT program (including WATTwin or WATTdos) performs beautifully regardless of the operating system: Win95, Win98, 2000, XP, or the new VISTA platform.
Here is a short tutorial that explains the WATT program in good detail...

group that studied with Dr. Sartin, so I know a lot about handicapping and computer use.
I have been using your Winning at the

it to be the best that I have ever used ..." L.R., Kentucky |
