1) PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
TrakAtak utilizes Beyer Speed Figures, race times, beaten
lengths, and other past performance data from the Daily Racing
Form to calculate pace and fps velocity ratings for thorough-
bred contenders in sprints and routes. TrakAtak rates up to
seven (7) contenders at a time and calculates the pace call
speed rating, percent of energy expended at the pace call, and
three (3) different fps velocity ratings for each contender.
TrakAtak also ranks the velocity ratings for easy comparison.
With the addition of user-supplied track pars, TrakAtak auto-
matically converts ratings from different racetracks and dis-
tances to the equivalent ratings at today's track and dis-
tance. Create seperate WKB files for different racing cir-
cuits. Each WKB file stores track pars for up to eighteen (18)
race tracks. All input data from all contenders remains on-
screen allowing for simple changes, comparisons, and paceline
subsitution. The output ratings and rankings are updated auto-
matically. Use TrakAtak to compare contenders with similar a-
bilities, speed figures and/or running styles. You'll see who
really has the early pace advantage and who has the most kick
in the final furlong. Make special note of the velocity rank-
ings of winning horses at each track. They'll guide you in the
identification of the specific pace and running styles that
horses need to win at those tracks. TrakAtak gives you an edge
over players who see speed figures at face value alone.
