Four Separate Chances to Qualify:
April 19, 20, 26, 27

Home once again to the Eclipse-award winning Handicapper of the Year, BRISnet.com is also home to racing's best online handicapping tournament. Now in its 5th year, the lucrative $40,000 BRISnet.com Online Handicapping Challenge is back with several new enhancements.

First and most importantly, the contest is no longer a cumulative total covering four Saturdays. Instead, the contest involves four separate dates (April 19, 20, 26, 27), and each day is a separate shot at qualifying for Vegas.

The second significant change involves the format for winning. There are still 10 mandatory races each day, but now winning is based on a hypothetical $2 win/place wager on each selection with caps of 25-1 (Win) and 12-1 (Place) respectively.

The four winners will each secure a spot to clash for the coveted title of Handicapper of the Year next January at Bally's in Las Vegas. Brisnet.com is picking up the tab for airfare, NTRA fees and hotel accommodations!

Online Challenge Prizes for EACH Contest Date

Grand Prize:
$5,000 CASH plus qualifying trip to Las Vegas (worth over $1,500)

Runner-up:
$500 CASH plus a FREE APR 2003 on CD-ROM ($325 value!)

3rd - 5th:
$200 in Brisnet.com credit plus a FREE APR 2003 on CD-ROM ($325 value!)

6th - 10th:
$150 in Brisnet.com credit plus a FREE Maiden Stats 2003 on CD-ROM ($100 value!)

Total Cash & Prizes of over $40,000!!!

As always, it's FREE to play exclusively for Brisnet members*. Earn the highest return based on hypothetical $2 win and place wagers and you'll be heading to Las Vegas with $5,000 to boot. Sign up closes Friday, April 18 by 11:59 PM ET. You only need to register once to participate in all four legs of the Challenge.

So, are you ready to mix it up with the nation's best handicappers? Brisnet.com members took down five of the top 6 spots in the National Handicapping Championship in January with long-time member Steve Wolfson Jr. capturing the $100,000 grand prize. In the four years of the championship, Brisnet members have won nearly $400,000 in prize money. Now it's your turn to join racing's elite handicappers in Las Vegas 2004. Visit Brisnet.com/challenge for all the details on the upcoming $40,000 Brisnet Online Handicapping Challenge. Plus, don't forget to mark your calendars for four important dates in April!

* A Brisnet free membership and computer with Internet access required to participate. One free entry per member.

Prime Power Search Reports


Try 1 Day FREE in March!

Did you know that Brisnet.com has made it easy to search across the country for Prime Power horses? This popular utility is called POWER SEARCH REPORTS and you can try 1 race date FREE in March, a $6 value!

Accessible in several handicapping products, including the Ultimate PPs (PDF), PRIME POWER is a powerful handicapping tool. BRIS Speed, Class, Pace, form, weight, distance and other factors are combined by a sophisticated computer algorithm into one rating per horse. The result is a rating that pinpoints a high percentage of winners!

With 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 10 point or greater advantage over the second-ranked horse. The Power Search Reports utility allows you to do this. Within seconds you'll have a short report detailing which runners meet the criteria given, along with relevant race information.

The cost for this powerful application is only $6.00 per race date. However, we want you to try it FREE for one race date in March! One day at the races with the Power Search Reports in your hands and you will see what Prime Power advantage runners can do for your bottom line. It's a great tool, especially for exotic wagers.

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!

Another PERFECT Day!

How many handicappers do you know who have swept an entire card? How many do you know who have done that remarkable feat TWICE?

Eight top winners with total win payoffs of $75.60, including Crystal Ball winners returning $8.00 and $13.80! If that's not enough, the Wizard nailed a COLD PICK SIX payoff of $11,710, plus the late Pick Four of $595.

Santa Anita selections with Win payoffs:

Distinction $6.00
Film Critic $4.80
Affirm Miss $14.60
Buckland Manor $7.60

American Produce Records with NEW Features!

The 2003 edition of the American Produce Records on CD-Rom is now better than ever. Always a great handicapping aid, the APRs now includes more information especially for horseplayers seeking to accurately gauge a runner's pedigree.

New in the 2003 Edition:

  • Best BRIS Speed Ratings (since 1990) for each category per runner.
  • Average Winning Distance (AWD) for every winner.
  • Number of Route winners per Route starters (included in the Maiden Stats line for every 2yo and 3yo).

    The question of stamina is easily and more quickly answered with the new APRs. At a glance using the AWD for each runner, one can see if the dam is a source of stamina, or not. With the addition of the Speed Ratings, one can easily see where a runner was at its full potential, e.g. turf starts.

    An invaluable tool, the CD is searchable by dam's name or foal's name. Discover the dam's produce record, her foals' race records, complete Dosage information, sales information since 1986 and so much more. The 2003 edition includes statistics through December 31, 2002. Order on-line for only $325 ($275 for renewals) through the Brisnet.com Bookstore or call 1-800-354-9206.

    More Testimonials from Vegas!


    For the fourth consecutive year Brisnet.com members did exceptionally well at the Daily Racing Form/NTRA National Handicapping Championship. Here are some more quotes from our successful members:

  • Steve Wolfson Jr., Handicapper of the Year ($105,000)

  • "I used a combo of what I knew regarding pedigree and what was in the Ultimate PPs. I also used the Ultimate for analyzing the track biases and running styles per horse. This was helpful to me. I also like the CUSTOM CARD feature quite a bit. It's very helpful to weed through many races. When you realize what your strengths are as a handicapper, you can employ Custom Card to play to those strengths.

    I really appreciate access to the SCRATCH SHEETS because they saved me a tremendous amount of time. For any simulcast player, having a condensed index such as the Scratch Sheet can make the difference between making a winning bet or kicking yourself."

  • Rick Palm, 5th Place finisher ($3,000)

  • "My bankroll after day one was $93 which put me in around 20th place. I felt good about the total especially since I thought I spread myself a little thin on day one. On the second day I made a conscious decision to focus on Gulfstream for my optionals. The card was loaded with full fields - great betting races. The decision really paid off after I hit Offlee Wild in the Holy Bull.
    My handicapping style is really suited to tournament play. I am always looking for longshots that have a chance to win. Also, I always use Ultimate Past Performances. It is amazing how often the top 2 or 3 horses in the Ultimate summary win."

  • Tim Holland, 3rd overall, member of champion Keeneland Team and Brisnet.com Hall of Fame Member ($15,000)

  • "I try to use as many factors as I can, however my main concentration is on turf and maiden races using breeding and trainer angles to find improving horses. The BRIS "American Produce Records" CD is vital for the pedigrees and some trainer angles can be found in the BRIS Ultimate Past Performances. I also use the BRIS Ultimate PPs for the pace and early speed figures in dirt races. For track and post position biases I look at the summaries found in the "Handicappers Edge At A Glance."

  • Ed Dixon, 6th overall ($2,000)

  • "I would be just an average handicapper without my many tools, which include Brisnet PPs."
