Racexpert horse racing software secrets revealed...Tom Whitley, horse racing expert, demonstates the art of finding big priced winners using the world renowned RACEXPERT SOFTWARE
Here is formula which I consider to be the best yet. It top rated the 25-1 winner Lujiana in the 4.40 Southwell race today. Rules Handicaps only Flat and National Hunt The formula can be used to rank your own shortlist or the short list as per the rules below According to the number of runners in the race note the top 3-6 horses rated by EP i.e. in a 10 runner race take the four horses with the highest EP ratings and then note the highest OR in the race and the highest FS(from MFS) in the race. Next compare each of your short list horse's OR and FS ratings to these top ratings and an example below - the actual figures for the 4.40 Southwell race will explain what to do. There were six runners so the top three EP rated are considered. Top three EP rated and the highest OR in the race was 65 and the highest FS in the race was 67
1. Golden Dane 58.33 65 66 0 1 -1 65 2. Lujiana 55.84 55 62 10 5 +5 67* Won 25-1 3. Wild Bill Tracey 47.62 60 63 5 4 +1 64 2nd Take each horses OR from the highest OR in the race(65) and take each horses FS from the highest FS in the race(67) and compare them. If the FS difference is lower that is a plus to be added to the FS figure, if the FS difference is higher that is a minus to be deducted from the FS figure. The example above will make this very clear. This formula also got the winner, second and third, in correct order, using the rules above for the Class C3 3.40 race at Southwell today. The formula utilises my FS formula and more. It is very powerful but you need a good short list to operate it. I have given you one example above. It is not difficult to work out the figures. I do them in my head and I am 81. They do not take a lot of time. --------------------------------------- It did not take long for another good priced winner following on from my post yesterday. 2.00 Lingfield today - 7 runners so top three EP rated and they were 1. 88.89 Joy and Pain Well In rating 80* 2. 75.76 Dawson Creek Well In 67 3. 59.26 Grand Assault Well In 71 Joy and Pain not only had the best Well In rating of the above three, it was highest in the whole race, the next highest being 71. This is an ideal race for the method, seven runners, the top EP horse was also the top rated Well In horse, all the horses were running in the same class as last time out. What you might call a banker bet. The only surprise was the generous S.P.! Don't forget the short list is based on the number of runners in the race up to 7 runners top three EP rated 8 to 11 top four 12-15 top five 16+ top six I would consider the ideal race for the method to have no more than 12 runners with most of the runners racing in the same class as last time out. Beware if any of the top EP rated are racing in a higher class today. Check to see if the horse has good form in the higher class. --------------------------------------- And another top rated winner for Well In from the top EP rated in the 3.35 Lingfield. We had 10-1 Joy and Pain in the 2.00 Lingfield and now 6-1 Bazroy in the 3.35 Lingfield 3.35 Lingfield 9 runners so top four
1. 90.48 Halycon Chan Well In 78 u/p 2. 85.94 Bazroy Well In 82* Won 6-1 3. 64.29 Celtic Step Well In 81 u/p up in class 4. 60.00 Lethal Well In 74 The method was given yesterday! --------------------------------------- If you are not yet a RaceXpert member there is now a brand NEW DEAL to save you over £167.00 on a RaceXpert Subscription !!

This second article starts with a recently introduced feature which is exclusive to RaceXpert.
It is called Expectancy against Performance (EP) and gives a rating for each runner based on the horse's last run. A secret formula is used to produce a rating which assesses what the animal was expected to do against how it actually performed. There have been many big priced winners from this feature. It can be used to rank short lists or used as a stand alone set of ratings. In the typical way that RaceXpert introduce new features there is much more to EP than just a formula. The EP screen offers a sort facility for eight sets of criteria based on the horse's last run. You can rank by four sets of ratings plus days since last ran, finishing position, distance beaten and S.P. last time out. There are so many different aspects to RaceXpert that it is hard to know which to discuss next. One candidate would be their speed figures - career best, second best in the last twelve months, and figures for each of the last three runs are all shown on one screen(and much much more) with no scrolling necessary. New subscribers have been very impressed with the At-a-glance screens. Too much scrolling either left and right or up and down can be very off-putting. Looking at all aspects of the form of each horse is no problem. A sort facility allows the ranking of fifteen sets of criteria - class, distance, speed, code of racing, S.P., OR etc. A complete history of types of race won, field size, class, month, win strike rates to name but a few give a full picture of the horse's credentials. Before we go any further mention must be made of one facililty that is very useful to those wanting to create and test their own devised systems. This is the ability to call up a past race and see all the ratings applicable on the day of the race before the race was run. One further click and the result of the race is shown. On the subject of updating, not one of the seven computer horse racing programs that I have subscribed to in the past comes anywhere near to RaceXpert in respect of updates. These are daily and not once have I not been able to update the previous day's results when clicking the auto update icon. The day's racecards have already been there since late afternoon or early evening the previous day. Talking of updates leads to the mention of upgrades. Here again RaceXpert is second to none. For the last three years there has been an upgrade to the program on average every month. Many featuring requests from subscribers. Ask the Technical Department for something and they will try their best to incorporate it. An e-mail group and static forums facilitate the exchange of ideas. You are not alone when you are a RaceXpert subscriber. More next time. Tom ------------------------------ ------------------------------
Article No. 1 dated 24th February 2006 Once upon a time all we had was a printed Form Book. Form study was done manually.
Now we have computers and computer horse racing programs and everything is done automatically Or is it?
To a person taking his or her first step towards an interest in racing there is a bewildering array of advertisements for programs offering the road to riches to which many succumb without realising that it's not that straight forward. Some decisions have to be made.
A computer horse racing program can be likened to an electronic form book Some have a running rating for each runner, not unlike the rating the official handicappers give to the horses under their jurisdiction. Everyone bets the same horse and the prices are low because the bookmaker knows this too. You should not follow the crowd if you want to make money from your betting.
So, which program to go for? I have tried all the leading ones over the years. In fact I have subscribed to a total of seven and the one that I currently subscribe to is RaceXpert because I think it is both the best value for money and because it offers so much that is different from all the other leading ones.
It is hard to know where to begin in trying to describe why I made this choice. A look at their website will give you a good insight and overview into this amazing program.
Racexpert - Thoroughbred horse handicapping software In these articles I will discuss the many different features that make RaceXpert stand out from the rest.
One of the most important aspects of any form study is the recognising of class. Some say this is not easy. Form changes, some thoroughbreds have yet to reach maturity. How can you tell which horses are the class runners in any race? RaceXpert can help here. In what class did a horse run in each of its fastest three runs? Press a couple of buttons and you are given the answer in numeric form and sorted from highest to lowest. On many occasions this is the only clue to the winner and this feature in RaceXpert, which is called Triple Class, has given, many big priced winners.
There are not many programs that let you sort the racecard by age groups. RaceXpert does. I am a big believer in comparing like with like - not with the form of a five year old on the same basis as a three year old. I am able to split the racecard into three age groups and compare form figures within each group to come up with a short list of one from each that are the best of their age group. Just another feature not found elswhere.
My next article will discuss other ground breaking features including Expectancy Against Performance ratings, something definitely not to be found elsewhere.
Until next time.
Good punting.
