A Unique Handicapping Experience Awaits

Welcome to Handycapper Horse Racing Figures. Handycapper started out simply as a challenge to try to find a mathematical expression to predict how a horse will perform under known conditions. After reading many books on the subject and over 7 years later, I have assembled together using Microsoft Excel, a fairly detailed yet simple (once practiced) methodology which I believe will help an individual improve their handicapping decisions and ultimately their winnings.

Longshots come to life and false favorites die when you learn to use the Handycapper as it was intended to be used. You truly will have an edge on those who use traditional handicapping programs. That is what this program is all about.

Take the time to read and learn all the terms and what they mean relative to the actual segments of the horse race. Learn to look for the patterns that exist and which will ultimately steer you in the correct direction and conclusion. I can say with strong conviction that over 90% of races that have ample data to analyze have hidden messages within their figures. Feel free to send me an email if there are any questions.

The Handycapper has three groups of data to utilize for making a handicapping decision. They are:

LAST RACE: a comparison of the last race (LR) Pace figures with a computer generated summary based on past historical data analysis. This can be used as a stand-alone data set once familiar to its strengths and weaknesses.

PACELINES: the last ten pacelines with pace figures, and provides the ability to select the lead horse and the paceline that best represents how the horse is expected to run today. The selected paceline is then sent to the SUMMARY data set as input for other calculations.

SUMMARY: a summary of the User selected pacelines with calculated pace differentials between the lead horse and the horse being handicapped. The User can go back to the PACELINE data set and change the selected paceline and see how a different pace will affect performance. Color schemes are used to emphasize strengths.

For the time being, all files may be accessed for free. Each file is about 15 MB and requires Microsoft Excel 2010 to use. Comments and questions are welcomed. I will respond as soon as possible. There is a significant amount of data available and I try to explain my methodology in the web page titled "Handycapper explained" (very original). I will be providing numerous historical races for users to practice with in the near future. I will add any race cards I happen to be playing the morning of the race. If you desire to receive a regular feed of a particular track, then we can discuss the terms when the issue arises. For now, my time is for fun. I can always make arrangements to earn income. Happy Handycapping!
