Standard Release 6.8 is available for users of BRIS and TSN files.  HTRF Release 6.8 includes a more robust past performance selection scheme.  You may preview the output of Release 6.8, the fourth race at Keeneland on October 19, 2005, which had multiple first time starters. Upgrade your HTRF to Release 6.8 using your credit card at this link.

For users of BRIS files, and Horsestreet Track Pars, HTRF Release 7.5 has been upgraded to Release 7.5.1.  The auto selection of past performance lines has been significantly improved to select at least one recent line even if there are no 'qualifying' lines (same surface and distance). The users has much more control over the number of line selected as well as number considered for handicapping. This upgrade to 7.5.1 is offered for $85. You may purchase Release 7.5.1 using your credit card at this link. To use track par corrections, you must purchase a separate track pars data file from HorseStreet Software at www.HorseStreet.com. The track pars data file contains inner call par times for all North American tracks, dirt and turf, at all usual race distances for each track. You must purchase the 2008 electronic par time file for $129 from HorseStreet.

A premium 7.6 for TSN file users is also available.   Release 7.6.1 (November, 2005) replaces Release 7.6 and includes the improved auto selection of past performance lines. This upgrade is offered for $85. You may purchase 7.6.1 using this link. A separate upgrade is required for BRIS files. Without the track par file, 7.6.1 will still execute and give the user 10 vs. 6 past performance lines.
