You can download the latest HTR2002.exe at http://209.164.117.38/km/dnl/HTR2001.exe

Ken has added several new screens; he just hasn't finished them yet. Nothing to look at under Impact PP. You can look at the Exported to see what he is trying to do. Best to look at it in a directory with few tracks.

Notes from Ken:
HTR2001 Upgrade for August 9, 2001

PP's Advanced has some helpful new information
Next to the Cramer race figure for each paceline (listed right after the final time) you may see a "+" or "++"
The "+" indicates that race was as strong or slightly faster than today's expected outcome.
The "++" indicates a race that was much stronger than today's expected outcome.
note: that these ratings are awarded while comparing today's expected race strength, not the pp line race.
Look for horses that have been facing tougher recently and are moving into an easier situation today.

Great New Rating named "TESR" Todays Expected (Cramer) Speed Rating
Appears in the Advanced PP"s horse header with ranking, and I also added it to the PROGRAM screen for instant appraisal.
All horses receive this new rating which projects probable performance (final speed) for today's race
It is based primarily on the Cramer number cycle and on past efforts under today's conditions. But other info is also considered.
FTS do get a rating, so do all foreign shippers and other unknowns such as lightly raced types.
The Avg rating has been removed, as this new one and the C90 number tested out far far superior.
The TESR is my own algorithm, just completed. Please post feedback on the results and worthiness as a contender selector.

New additions for Advanced PP's also include the ESP (earnings per start) for the lifetime and the ranking in the field.
Sire data for each horse related to today's distance and surface (d/s) and if the horse is a FTS then that % is shown as well.

The Program screen now adds the Layoff, the TESR rating on the far right, and the win$ payoff is furthest to the right if you have the results in the file.

The initial load should be quicker for any number of files you have - this is something Rick and I spend a week on.
The ** appears if the Result Chart is available for the race. * = small Results only

There is much going behind the scenes in HTR2001, click around, but most of the screens do not work yet.
The EXPORT screen (click the sinewave button) is nearly ready and we'll be running our first export on the next update.
Sorry, the PRINTING is still not ready, use the PRINT SCREEN button and do the best you can.

On a side note, I must say I am truely impressed by the number of longshots that can be found by using C90, Top Speed at D/S, or track.

Yesterday at DMR Race 5 and Race 6 both had winners paying $29. Both were flagged as top ranked 1 in the above Advanced PP ratings. In addition, Race 6 winner was top PSCAN animal.

Rick/Ken, I noticed yesterday looking at a turf race in htr2000 advanced pp. that some past turf races had the surface rated as 'gd'. I was not aware that there was a 'gd' rating for turf. I have to pull the old data file off CD to check the races but I was wondering if the 'gd' rating is correct this race was taken 'off turf' in which case the race should'nt be listed as turf or if there is anouther reason for the surface rating.

hurrikane,

I would suggest that when you see something that you don't think is right/know is wrong, that you list the races that you found the problem in so Ken can check it out. Even so I can check it out (not that that may do much good).

HTR2001 would have to get the info from the results file, so list a few races you noticed the problem in and I will do what checking I can. Thanks.

Now that I posted and reread your message, it looks like I miss read it. Still post a few examples.
