3 FREE MultiCAPS files in April!


Looking for an easy to use, versatile handicapping program? MultiCAPS is the answer! If you haven't tried this powerful yet simple handicapping package, here's the perfect opportunity. Brisnet.com is giving away 3 FREE data files in April, a $15 value!

What is great about MultiCAPS for Windows is that it saves the horseplayer time and makes handicapping a breeze. A click of the mouse brings up 8 different windows with precisely calculated ratings for over 25 valuable handicapping factors. Another click brings up workout reports, breeding information, full paceline reports, and jockey/trainer statistics.

Easy to download, the MultiCAPS data files are easy to import and contain a wealth of information. The program was written for both the novice and the experienced race handicapper, making it sophisticated yet easy-to-use.

Graphed comparisons of Pace, Ability, Projected Time, Feet Per Second Calculations and Total Pace Ratings allow the handicapper to easily compare the components that make up these factors. MultiCAPS ranks the horses by the factors chosen. Consider it "visual handicapping," a unique characteristic of this popular software package.

Programmed settings generate a "Horses to Watch" list, offering value plays that can increase your ROI. MultiCAPS combines the BRIS Prime Power Rating, Race Ratings and Average Class Ratings with pace-based handicapping factors to identify the top contenders in each race.

Both overlays and underlays are easily identified with the Fair Odds line automatically generated by MultiCAPS. This powerful feature generates an odds line based on the dominant factors faring well at the track in question. By comparing this odds line with the morning line, one can shy away from the underlays and hammer high value betting situations.

Did we mention it's easy to use? Each MultiCAPS handicapping window offers the ability to remove a horse from consideration with a simple click of the mouse. Compare factors, compare ratings, judge if a horse can run to par, and if one determines the horse has no chance to hit the board, click on the pretender (which will remove the horse), and the contenders loom boldly on the screen. It's as simple as it sounds.

Download the Exotic Result files from Brisnet.com and compute models that will identify which handicapping factors proved to be successful for that race. Model results are displayed on the screen for the race being handicapped, so one can see which factors to rely on. In a short time a database is created for the tracks regularly handicapped.

BONUS Past Performances!
MultiCAPS for Windows is a one-of-a-kind handicapping software program, allowing the user to set the factors desired and analyze the results. Plus, Past Performances can be generated from the MultiCAPS datafiles with Brisnet's Custom PP software. It's like getting PPs for FREE!

In last year's Kentucky Derby, the default settings in MultiCAPS identified War Emblem as value at 5-1 or better. He went off 20-1, and we know the rest of the story! Why not try it this spring when the Triple Crown trail heats up. Try MultiCAPS for Windows today with this exclusive offer, 3 FREE data files in April!

    Expert Analysis for the Online Challenge

    One of the toughest aspects of the $40,000 Brisnet.com Online Handicapping Challenge is that the contest cards consist of various race types from tracks all over the country. Unless you regularly handicap every track in North America, you may need some assistance in deciphering the nuances of the tracks involved in the contest.

    The Wizard has closely studied tracks and races across the country for many decades. His comprehensive coverage and insightful analysis is legendary in the racing industry. The good news is that he's here to help you win the $40,000 Online Handicapping Challenge and claim your berth in Vegas!

    "I began referring to the Wizard's sheet years ago, because instead of just 'picking' horses like everyone else, he explained the strategy in doing so. This was of great benefit to me as I incorporated many of his ideas with my own handicapping." - Ed Gasperi, $10,000 winner of the June 2001 Online Challenge

    The evening before each contest date, review the Wizard's Online Challenge Analysis, which offers a complete breakdown of each race, pace analysis, comments for every runner, weather conditions, track bias info, recommended longshots and top selections.

    Announcing ALL-Ways(TM) v.10 Handicapping Software

    Sixteen New Primary Handicapping Factors: ALL-Ways now includes 87 Comprehensive Handicapping Factors covering a horse's suitability to the distance and surface, class level, current form and ability to handle the probable pace and speed demands of today's race. Using the new Total Pace Ratings (Early Pace + Speed) in combination with the new Late Pace Rating (Final Fraction + Speed) is a very good way to spot not just the winning horse, but the most likely place, show and 4th place horses as well. When combined with the new Weighted Total Pace Form ratings and a BRIS Class rating, you have a very powerful "short list" of handicapping factors for effectively handicapping a race.

    Gap Threshold Analysis: The new Gap Threshold Analysis correlates how well a horse performs based on the size (Gap) of its advantage for each handicapping factor. For example, if we look at non-maiden turf routes run on the main turf track at Belmont, we see that horses with a 2 point BRIS Prime Power advantage won 29% of their races and yielded a small loss with a win ROI of -6%. But look what happens if we increase the Gap advantage to 4 points. These qualifiers won 41% of the races and yielded a positive win ROI of 28%. ALL-Ways automatically looks for horses having a Gap advantage that has yielded high win, in-the-money and/or ROI percentage and shows you the results on the new Search Handicapping Report.

    Key-Horse Candidates: In Version 10, ALL-Ways evaluates the new Gap statistics, the new proprietary "behind-the-scenes" ALL-Ways Key-Horse statistics and situational factors based on the pace pressure and other match-up considerations specific to the race. ALL-Ways then presents you with prime candidates for a Key-Horse on the new Search Handicapping Report. If the top ranked Key-Horse Candidate is also the post time favorite, just move down to the second ranked candidate. And, you will be truly impressed at the number of Exactas that are made up of the horses in the Key-Horse Candidate list.

    Free Gap Statistics

    ALL-Ways comes with a comprehensive set of Default Gap Statistics derived from thousands of races at representative tracks in North America. You can print and use the Gap statistics in your regular handicapping efforts.

    Custom Search Definitions: The new Custom Search feature lets you build a library of your own personal handicapping angles. You can then test the effectiveness of your angles against your track database(s). At handicapping time, ALL-Ways will evaluate every angle you have designated for the specific type of race being run, find all qualifying horses and then show you the results on the new Search Handicapping Report.

    Search Handicapping Report: This new one-page report will likely become one of your most powerful handicapping tools. The Gap Search section shows you the horses having an important Gap advantage. The Key Horse section shows you the ranked Key Horse Candidates. The Best Early/Best Late section isolates the top early running horses and top late running horses including "dual qualifiers" in both lists. You will be amazed at how many Trifectas and Superfectas are made up of horses in the Key Horse and Best Early/Best Late lists. The Custom Search section shows you the results of the ALL-Ways search for horses that qualify based on your personal handicapping angles.

    Ultimate PPs at No Extra Cost

    You can use the ALL-Ways data file you download from BRIS to power your ALL-Ways Version 10 software. And, at no additional cost, you can also use it to print the BRIS Ultimate Past Performances with Comments.

    Visit the ALL-Ways Free Software page on the BRIS Web site at brisnet.com. You will find a comprehensive description of the more than 20 new features in ALL-Ways Version 10 software. You can also download the free ALL-Ways Version 10 Standard Edition software for use in your computer.

    Testimonials from Las Vegas

  • T.J. Taylor, member of champion Keeneland Team and Brisnet.com Hall of Fame Member ($5,000)

    "I use Ultimate Past Performances. I first concentrate on the summaries to help me quickly identify which races I want to fully handicap. I look for large fields with particular pace profiles. After I identify which races to handicap, I use a fairly comprehensive method of accessing each horse's ability based on speed, class, and pace. It is comprehensive yet it has to remain quick. That's where I rely on the BRIS speed, class, and pace figures in the Ultimate Past Performances. After accessing ability, I factor in some intangibles such as distance changes, trainer changes, class changes, layoffs and various cycles, as well as medication and equipment changes and recent workouts. I look for value based largely on these changes. However the horse has to indicate some ability to win that particular race based on the speed, class, and pace assessments I made earlier. Or he must offer value based on signs of improvements in speed, class, and/or pace."

  • Dennis Sudul, member of second place Autotote team and Brisnet.com Hall of Fame member ($2,000)
    Dennis Sudul explains his style of handicapping: "I put my first emphasis on Luck (33%), Pace (33%), Speed (20%), and the remainder on Class. The pace numbers in the Brisnet.com PPs give me a clear picture of how the race will set up. Bob Neumeier recently wrote a nice piece about luck and the stars being lined up just right to win a tourney. For me it has happened four times (winning)."

  • Paul Mazzerella, member of second place Autotote team ($2,000)

    "Thanks again for all the info you provided during the championship. I could never have done as well as I did without Brisnet.com. As valuable as the reports were, the time you saved me getting them and allowing me the time to handicap instead of chasing down the reports may have had the most to do with my good showing. I made a good showing at the championship because I was armed with great info from Brisnet... Having been through my first one, I know I can stay with the best and will do everything I can to get back next year."
