    MultiCAPS Spring Time Special!

    3 Free MultiCAPS Data Files in April plus receive
    20 Archived MultiCAPS Data Files* Free from the Archive Server

    During the month of April, you may download 3 MultiCAPS data files... absolutely free! Also during the month of April, you may download 20 archived MultiCAPS data files (a $100 value) and corresponding Exotic Results Data files from the BRIS Archive File Server* absolutely free! If you ever wanted to build a MultiCAPS Database or if you ever wanted to try MultiCAPS for the first time, now is the ideal time.

    Looking for an easy-to-use, versatile handicapping program? MultiCAPS is the answer! What is great about MultiCAPS for Windows is that it saves the horseplayer time and makes handicapping quick and easy. 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. A wealth of information is at your fingertips!

    "I just wanted to thank you all at Brisnet and the programmer of MultiCAPS. Today (Sunday, July 14 at Hollywood Park) I scored a huge payout, hitting the trifecta and the late double for just under five grand...for simplicity and effectiveness I don't feel you can beat the MultiCAPS program." -- K. Arias

    The MultiCAPS data files are easy to download and simple to import. The program was written for both novice and experienced handicappers, making it sophisticated and effective yet easy-to-use at the same time.

    MultiCAPS Visual Handicapping

    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.

    Optimize MultiCAPS with Your Own Database

    Now, you can build a MultiCAPS Database with approximately 225 races, absolutely free! Just download your 3 free current MultiCAPS regular data files and your 20 free MultiCAPS archived data files and XRD results files from the BRIS Archive File Server this April*. For example, get last year's Keeneland Spring meet in preparation for this year's meeting.

    By downloading the corresponding Exotic Result files from Brisnet.com, you can then 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 you'll have a database created for the tracks that you regularly handicap.

    Don't forget that MultiCAPS data files can also be used to print BRIS Past Performances at no additional cost through Custom PP Generator software. So, what are you waiting for? Download MultiCAPS software today!

    * 20 Free Archive files and the corresponding XRD archive result files are available only from the Brisnet.com Archive server.

    Expert Analysis for the Online Challenge

    One of the most daunting aspects of the $25,000 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.

    "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 synopsis of each race, pace analysis, comments for every runner, weather conditions, track bias info, recommended longshots and top selections.

    American Produce Records 2004 CD-ROM


    A Must for Serious Handicappers!

    The 2004 edition of the American Produce Records on CD-Rom provides handicappers all the pertinent information to accurately gauge a runner's pedigree. Whether it's turf, first time out or running a distance of ground, the APRs has the answers.

    The question of stamina is easily and quickly answered. When tapping into the APR, one can discover if the dam is a source of stamina, or not. One can quickly see if the dam has produced any grass winners, and if so, at what success rate. At a glance you will know what kind of runners this mare produces. It's all found in the American Produce Records on CD-ROM.

    The CD-ROM is searchable by dam's name or foal's name. Discover the dam's produce record, her foals' race records (broken down by surface type/distance type), complete Dosage information, sales information since 1986 and so much more. One nice score at the races can pay for the American Produce Records!

    "I use the American Produce Records CD-ROM to analyze the quality of the female family of first-time starters, first North American starters, and lightly raced horses. This information has provided me with a wealth of longshots. APR is an extremely powerful tool for analyzing pedigrees." -- Steve Walker, NTRA Handicapper of the Year and the only 5-time Qualifier to the prestigious championship.

    Order on-line for only $325 ($275 for renewals) through the Brisnet.com Bookstore or call 1-800-354-9206, ext. 250.
