NEW Prime Power Search Reports!

Since we introduced the BRIS Prime Power Rating, many of our members have incorporated this potent number into their handicapping methodology. Horseplayers have been raving about this unique rating because of its uncanny ability to identify strong "key" plays as well as eliminate false favorites.

Now, Brisnet.com has made it easier for all members to utilize this number. But, before we get to that exciting news, here's a primer on this rating:

Just what is...Prime Power?
Prime Power is the result of years of analysis at Bloodstock Research. Prime Power combines many factors into one potent figure, and runners with a significant advantage win up to 55% of the time! BRIS Speed, Class, Pace, form, weight, distance and other factors are combined by a sophisticated computer algorithm into one rating per horse.

Based on a lengthy study of more than 50,000 races, the top Prime Power runner won 31-percent of the time! The results become more impressive when any dirt runner is at a significant advantage based on Prime Power:

  • Top Prime Power horses by three full points (3.0+) or better won 39% of the time!
  • Top Prime Power horses by six full points (6.0+) or better won 46% of the time!
  • Top Prime Power horses by ten full points (10.0+) or better won 55% of the time!

Now, how would you like to easily identify bogus favorites? Consider the results of our study: dirt favorites that were not ranked first on Prime Power (false favorites) won only 27% of the time and returned -.51 for every $2 wagered. However, favorites which were on top on Prime Power won 38% with a -.26 ROI.

Skeptical of Prime Power's effectiveness? Listen to recent Tampa Bay handicapping contest winner Alan Burnett: "The Prime Power Rating hit seven of 11 races. Selecting a Prime Power horse is what got me over the hump. I wagered $500 to win on him and he paid $10.80! Also, I hit four of five races in the preliminary rounds, and I couldn't have done it without the BRIS info in the Ultimate PPs."

In this recent contest, Alan started the day with a $1,000 bankroll and ended with $3,004. That earned him the $1,500 grand prize and a free berth in the $100,000 Penn National World Series of Handicapping, to be held in October.

Accessing Prime Power
Prime Power is accessible in several Brisnet.com handicapping products, including the Ultimate PDF PP's, Quick Play PDF PP's, Premium Plus PDF PP's, Super Stats, and software data files - DRF, MultiCaps and ALL-Ways. Now for the good news! Brisnet.com has just released a super interactive tool designed around the Prime Power Rating!

NEW Prime Power Search Reports
Members have been crying for this new functionality. With the new Power Search Reports you can set the minimum Prime Power advantage between the top horse and the runners ranked below that horse on Prime Power. For example, let's say you wish to see all Prime Power horses with a 5 point or greater advantage over the second-ranked horse. The Power Search Reports utility allows you to do this. The result is a short report detailing what runners meet that criteria, and it also provides relevant race information such as racetype, post time, etc.

Alternatively, you can search for contentious races. Simply choose the top Prime Power horse with a maximum three point advantage between him and the sixth ranked horse. The search will come back with races that are determined to be contentious based on closely ranked Prime Power runners. However, the search parameters are your choice!

The cost for this unique and powerful application is only $6.00 per racedate. However, because we believe in this new tool and know you will love it, we want to you try it for any one racedate in April absolutely FREE! Pick any racedate during April and run the Power Search Reports to your heart's content. Check it out free! One day at the races with the Power Search Reports in your hands, and you will see what Prime Power advantage horses can do for your bottom line.

With this new, easy-to-use Power Search Report you can exploit the "key" Prime Power advantage horses in any of the following exotic wagers offered in that race(s), e.g. exactas, Pick-6's, etc.

The real "power" to this number is playing the percentages to your best advantage. For example, you may be playing the Pick-3 and key on a top Prime Power runner which, in the past, you would have dismissed. Or, you may be wagering on the Trifecta and now will think twice before excluding a horse with a proven 55-percent chance of winning. The situations like this are endless.

To access the new Power Search Reports, click on Selections, Programs, & PPs from the Brisnet.com homepage. Put the percentages in your favor beginning today! .

About 15 years ago I began following the great sport of horseracing. As most novices, I soon realized that I was losing far more money than I was winning at the racetrack. It also dawned on me that each day new people were coming to the track and also putting their two dollar bets into vast pools of money. I thought of how many terrible golfers flooded courses daily and kept coming back with no hope of ever improving their game. The golf courses still took their money and so did friends that took part in any friendly side bets.

This motivated me to learn as much about horseracing as humanly possible, so that I was the one taking in all of the uninformed horseplayers money.

One of the first major steps was purchasing the Track Stats and Maiden Stats books from BRIS. Finding and using trainer stats and sire information that not all knew about helped me to turn my losses into profits. Not long after that, BRIS started publishing Past Performances online. Their pace figures were another great tool that helped me further in making money. Then BRIS began offering the Ultimate Past Performances Plus Summary. This became a tremendous help in condensing the time used to look up the never ending fields of maiden races that fill a daily card. The Ultimate PP's included all the information that took much longer to find using the previously mentioned books.

With all of this knowledge at my finger tips, I soon set out to accomplish a goal I set for myself. When I turned into a professional handicapper/gambler in 1998, I wanted to be able to say that I handicapped and cashed the only ticket in a pari-mutuel pool at a major track. That day came on November 5, 1999. I played a $360 Pick-6 ticket at Bay Meadows using only the Ultimate PP's with Track Bias and Summary. I originally was going to play only a $64 ticket, but there had been a carryover of more than $100,000 and I wanted to make sure I hit a piece of it. I could only guess that not many people used the BRIS PP's that day, because I cashed the only ticket in the country for over $197,000. In five of the races, each horse that won was rated 1st or 2nd in either the Race Summary column or the Prime Power. The other winner was ranked 3rd in both. What is even more amazing is that my original $64 ticket would have still taken the whole pool!

"As recently as February 11, 2001, lightning struck again. I've had great success following Santa Anita and using BRIS PPs to cash in more than a few Pick 6's and Place Pick 9's. I made a relatively moderate play of $64 in the Place Pick 9 that day after again only using the BRIS Ultimate PP's with Summary. To my surprise, I held the only ticket worth $34,695.30! In six of the races, the 1st or 2nd ranked horses in the Race Summary column or the Prime Power hit. In two other races it was the 3rd ranked horse that won. The only race that I deemed "unhandicappable" did a lower ranked horse win. I fortunately used four horses in this leg that must have helped in making it the only ticket in the country.

I'm a definite believer in the information I receive from BRIS. As more and more people discover that money can be made using superior information, it will be harder to have any more "sweeper" tickets.
