Standard Release 6.8 is available for users of BRIS 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.

For users of BRIS files, and The Horse Handicapping Authority 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 The Horse Handicapping Authority at The Horse Handicapping Authority Store. 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 2011 electronic par time file for $97. Be sure to inform Dave Schwartz that you need the electronic pars for HTRF Software.
