    Hello fellow handicapping aficionados,
    If you are interested in purchasing a speed and pace base thoroughbred handicapping
    software program (REXPOINTE) that I have developed, you might want to continue
    reading, if not, you can stop reading now.
    I have just started offering an updated version that allows for the downloading and
    exporting of the Daily Racing Form’s “Formulator Basic PPs”.
    Thank you very much for your time and your consideration.

    THIS IS THE NEW REXPOINTE NO MORE MANUAL INPUTTING (!!!) of Daily Racing Form past performance
    running line data.
    DATA INPUT HAS NOW BEEN AUTOMATED!
    Due to repeated inquiries and requests, I have now programmed REXPOINTE to
    accept downloadable/exportable Daily Racing Form past performances.
    ************************************************************************
    REXPOINTE is the culmination of fourteen months of actual programming, algorithm
    and formula verification, modifications, streamlining, and graphics.
    What the REXPOINTE premise maintains is that a length at the end of a race is
    "longer" than a length at the beginning of that same race. REXPOINTE doesn't mean
    longer in the physical/literal sense. By "longer" REXPOINTE means, the time it takes for
    a horse to run a length changes (becomes longer) as a race progresses. This is because,
    almost invariably, horses tend to slow down more the farther they run. What this
    translates into or means to the speed and pace handicapper is that, because a length
    is run in less time during the first part of a race, a length gained or lost during this
    part of a race should be "weighted" in such a manner as to reflect this time
    difference when compared to a length gained or lost during the latter part of a race.
    When a horse comes from behind to win a race, that horse isn't so much running faster
    than the horses it is passing (although it is) as much as it isn't slowing down as much as the
    horses it is passing. This is why we sometimes get the illusion of a horse absolutely
    "flying" past the rest of the field the last part of a race. That horse wasn't "flying" (except
    in a relative sense) as much as the other horses were "dying". This is where the nuance
    of speed and pace handicapping really occurs.
    REXPOINTE maintains that the problem with most speed and pace based methods of
    handicapping is that they employ the long held idea that a length is equal to 1/5 of a
    second for the entire running of a race. Nothing could be further from the truth than that
    notion. A horse race is a dynamic (i.e., changing and evolving) event. The relative
    constant in the event is the capabilities of the participants.
    What REXPOINTE does, via intricate formulas and calculations, is utilize a horse's
    past performance to determine it's speed, pace and endurance capabilities, and
    incorporates an adjustment for track variant (such that it doesn't matter where a horse has
    been running, you are now comparing "equalized" past performances; apples to apples so
    to speak).
    REXPOINTE gives each horse in a race a relative number (the lower the better) that
    indicates what each horse's speed, pace and endurance capabilities are (in terms of lengths)
    as compared to a computed/adjusted standard.
    The price for REXPOINTE is $42.75 plus $3.00 (for shipping & handling).
    I hope this information gives you an "in a nutshell" idea of what Rexpointe is all about.
    If you have any questions, inquiries and/or comments, please know that they are welcome.
    Just send some E-mail to "MAYASPACE@msn.com" (DON'T USE THE QUOTATION
    MARKS). BUYER PAYS $3.00 FOR SHIPPING & HANDLING. Thank you for your
    time and consideration.
    PLEASE PRINT THIS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
    Good luck with all things great and small.
