Simple answer Cloud is No.

Distance speed is horse's best speed at this distance.

Late speed is a measurement of the horse's ability to bring it home in the final stages of the race.

I'm just finishing up the next upgrade.... Yea I'm a little crazy as it's 2am here in Houston.

Not sure when I will get it released as I am trying to find any bugs that might be hiding. When you get it, you will be able to run a race and then by clicking a button, you will be able to rerun that race with a different Analyst as many times as you want. I have 26 analysts and I can run a race through all of them one after another.

This will be most likely my last update for a while. I have been speaking with Dave Schwartz and bouncing things off him. He has given me some great insight into handicapping I hadn't thought of before. And so I want to do some research without any pressure of a deadline looming, even though that deadline is self imposed for the most part.

He has been instrumental in the forward leaps Handifast has taken. I really appreciate the time he gives me, and as a result our program is going to get better and better I believe with my whole heart.

When Handi gets this version done and bug free I am sure he will send me source and I will try to start coding the csv export stuff. I say try as the latest version of LB is flaky on my system. You will also have to be patient -- figuring out someone else's code logic is pretty rough, and I don't have nearly the time to spend on this kind of stuff as I used to. If I did HHXv3 would have been out a long time ago.

I will do the best that I can.

Hi guys, I just downloaded the handifast program from post 100, now I'm trying to open a track. I downloaded a file from twinspires (bris), it's evd0609k (Evangeline Downs for today). So I click on "select track" and I found the file, and it said "file loaded successfully". But then when I click on "select race", there is nothing there, it is blank. Did I download the wrong type of pp? I did "PP data files (single)".

The download of the latest version of Handifast is kept current in the first post of this thread, courtesy of PA.

Tony, you have downloaded a very old version.

Please see the first post in this thread to get the most recent version:

It is the most recent version he sent to me...about a week or so ago. He mistyped the file name. It is version 9.2. It's the newest version as far as I know. Unless he's completed a newer version within the last day or two...if he has, he hasn't sent it to me yet to post.
