Everything imaginable impacting the outcome of a harness race is found some where in this book. For example, questions like what are the best and worst post-positions? What variables impact success at picking winners? What is the effect of a horse winning the last time out on the next race entered? What difference does age and weight of the driver make. Many such factors were statistically analyzed by the author over a seven year period. No other book on the subject of betting harness races has ever accomplished this goal. The statistical sampling on harness races was done over seven year period at a number of harness racetracks. This book reveals the many winning secrets discovered through the statistical analysis by the author. The author Dr. Joseph E.

The system designed, tested and operated by Dr. Brierly enabled him to have winning seasons at the harness race tracks for over 20 years straight. INSTAN includes two basic types of software, an expert system and a simulation. The simulation allows one to simulate a race before it occurs. The simulation includes accurate handicaps for post position, driver ability, past performances, weather conditions, trainer and more.
