HARNESS RACING
HANDICAPPER
The Program
has been designed to cover the six most important considerations when
handicapping a Harness Race. They are Class, Consistency, Current Form, The
Driver, Post Position and How The Race Will Be Run.
CLASS
The Program determines if the current Class of
the Horse is equivalent with the Class of the race it is now entered in. The
Program compares the current race’s purse value with the Horse’s previous race
purse values while using finish and stretch position variables to rate the
Standardbred’s Class.
CONSISTENCY
A Standardbred which is well trained and
properly raced should have a competitive percentage of Wins and ITM (In The
Money-1,2,3) finishes. A strong consistent Horse will show 50% or more ITM
finishes and a Win% of at least 20%. The Program calculates and rates
Consistency and Win Percentages.
CURRENT FORM
Running in the right Class is the Horse fit to
win? Using a combination of Class, Consistency, Speed, and the running
characteristics of the Horse’s most recent races the Program rates the Current
Form or Condition that the Standardbred is in.
THE DRIVER
If the Horse is fit to Win, the Driver in many
Handicappers’ opinions is the most important of all the handicapping factors to
consider. A capable Driver should have a record of at least 15% Wins. The
Program rates the Driver as per the percentage of wins.
POST POSITION
Again if the Horse is fit to Win and is being
driven by a capable Driver, Post Position in many Handicappers’ opinions hold
the same importance as the Driver. This is especially true for ½ Mile Tracks.
The Program rates the Post Position for the race under consideration.
HOW THE RACE WILL BE RUN-CONSIDERING PACE,
EARLY AND LATE SPEED
Speed does not determine the winner of a Harness
Race. Racing strategy, running styles, pace, early and late speed are all
factors. The Program calculates fractional times to determine the above plus
the all important Stretch Run. Percentage ratings are calculated and sorted
predicting running positions at the ½ mile, ¾ mile, and Finish.
