Great app
Old outdated AI pick system
Response from developer
Hi, I've updated the server-side application several times this past year and as recently as today. The client app that pulls in the picks hasn't needed to be updated yet, but the back-end algorithm receives regular updates. I will be updating the client version soon to include and display results and more advanced features. Handicapping horse racing is both a science and an art, and long shots are inherently difficult to hit consistently. No system can be 100% accurate, but we're always striving to improve. Thank you for your feedback. Nathan
Very Helpful
The one area I’d live to see an improvement in would be exotics with a suggested card, like Golden Hour, Cross Country, best bet Hi5’s or pick 6’s.

Thanks for the good review. I personally think the quick picks in the app are good for newer players who just want to go out to the track to have fun without having to do handicapping. I do the work for them, so they can go have fun and possibly make a profit for the day or at the very least break even if playing every race which is what most people want to do when they go out to the track. Usually anyone using the picks will come close to breaking even for the day playing every race, which is better than most new players can hope for I'm constantly working to improve the picks for advanced and new horseplayers. I use back testing to make them as profitable as can be for players at all levels but it's always best to incorporate the players own opinion when playing. These picks rely on statistics and back testing to come up with the most consistent picks possible so that small and large players can have more fun. I'll be adding a Results section to both the mobile and web app soon with more details for the previous days results in addition to adding recommendations for Doubles, PIck 3, 4, 5, and 6's. The results ROI is based on the minimum bet for the wager. For example a 3 horse exacta box at the minimum $1 mark is $6 Total. This is why I provide Return on Investment Percentages in the results, Bet $1 or bet $100 the ROI Percentage will not change. The Confidence ratings have proven helpful and more accurate through back testing because those races have more experienced horses and I have more data to work with versus Maiden races with a lot of first time starters where all I have is workout reports, trainer stats, and breeding. Feel free to email me directly with for any more clarifications and I'll be happy to incorporate new ideas into the app. Hope this helps and good luck at that races! Nathan
Update on My Previous Review
So may horses evenly matched, pretty much all very low odds, it is hard to place a bet on winner.
The odds are so low you are pretty much forced to play accumulating bets.
YES, they do sometimes have their winners! But again it’s a complete lottery, it can be the placed horse that wins, or the horse they expect to come 3rd.
What this app does is just slightly narrow down your chances by a very small margin.
I’ve lost count of the Very High Win bets that have NEVER come in.
If you have money to play with then this is OK for a bit of fun.
If not stay clear.
Don’t have all the tracks
won big time!!
Somewhat useful

Thank you for the review. I'm working on an update now that will provide more data and detail about the picks, including Power Ratings to help with comparing the different horses, etc. Check back soon. All the best, Nathan

Don’t know what I’m doing wrong?

Hi, the payoffs will be better depending on the size of the field. Unfortunately most of the races through the week have pretty small fields of 6 or less horses which makes it hard to get a better payoff. Triple Crown races like the ones this coming Saturday at Belmont should be better, especially the Turf races will have bigger fields. Email me for help: nathan.prather@horseplayertoolkit.com
