I want to bring you up to speed on the latest version of JCapper Platinum.
The latest version of JCapper Platinum is full of new features. I'm not even going to try to cover all of them here...
You could literally grow a beard by the time you're done reading about everything.
Hey, nothing against beards... I have one. But I didn't write this ad so that I could tell you how cool my beard is.
There's a JCapper upgrade available and I want you to know about it. The retail price is $225.00.
Let's start with SQL Mode... SQL Mode describes a new architecture that I've added to JCapper...
that among other things... makes certain parts of the program faster.
Diving into a few specifics off the top of my head...
-
SQL Mode Enabled Data Window
What does that mean? It means you can kick the Data Window into SQL Mode and run Data Window queries that are lightning fast.
What do I mean when I use the words "lightning fast?"...
For one of the SQL Mode videos I exported some data into a StarterHistory Table... actually it was just over 40,000 races... about 335,000 starters in all.
Now keep in mind that I was running RECORDING SOFTWARE on my machine at the same time that I was running Data Window queries...
And that I was recording the Data Window in action as part of the video...
Most of the SQL UDMs that I ran through the Data Window were coming back with results in just 7 to 15 seconds... against a database with more than 40,000
races in it... with RECORDING SOFTWARE eating up my machine's memory!
-
Fully Customizable SQL Mode HTML Report
What does that mean? It means exactly what you think it means... Run JCapper in SQL Mode and design your own HTML Report.
Display the factors you want to see on the report... Where you want to see them on the report.
A new Module called The Stacker lets you drop individual factors into individual slots on a graphical report layout.
Another new Module called The HTML Report Detail Screen lets you define display attributes for each slot on the report layout...
Such as a descriptive header for each individual slot... CSS attributes like font face and color... whether or not you want to display
numeric value, number of decimal places, factor rank, cell alignment - or whether or not to display the factor as a name.
Another new Module called The HTML Report SQL Expression Tool lets you create SQL Expressions that control sorting the horses
in each race by whatever factor you want to see them sorted by... You can also sort the races for your loaded cards on the report by whatever
header factors you want the races on the report to be sorted by...
Or maybe only display turf races with 10 or more starters... with an RV between X and Y where YOU decide what X and Y are.
These Modules are part of the new SQL Mode Setup Wizard... If you're getting the idea that the interface puts you in complete control -
then maybe we're communicating here.
-
SQL Mode Profile Marker
What does that mean? It means when you kick the program into SQL Mode and Calc Races with a single race card the Profile Marker does its
thing so fast you better not blink... because if you do you could miss it.
-
New Race Summary
Check a box on the User Sys Defs Screen to see a race summary beneath each race on the SQL Mode HTML Report.
What does it look like? Here's one implementation of a SQL Mode HTML Report with the Race Summary Displayed beneath each race:

-
New Consensus Numbers
What? You mean you've had the program all this time and never got around to creating UPR or Userfactors?
I've created a mini power rating (Consensus) for each of the following general factor categories: Early Speed, Late Speed, Form, Ability from Speed Figs, Class, and Power Ratings.
Hint: These numbers are good... VERY good.
Second hint: And they show up in the new Race Summary.
-
SQL Mode Enabled Database Builder
The new Database Builder contains checkboxes that give you very explicit control over the scope and type of database you are about to build.
By simply checking or unchecking boxes you can make the Database Builder build a database in SQL Mode - either clearing the StarterHistory Table first -
or running the build as an Append to the Table. You can also build in Playlist file mode - where the build causes a Playlist file to be created -
OR you can instruct the Database Builder to run the build in BOTH modes - so that the build causes creation of a Playlist File AND causes the
StarterHistory Table to be populated.
Oh, there's more. Depending on when you last downloaded... THIS stuff might be brand new to you...
-
Enhanced UPR Tools Interface
Creating UPR and UserFactors just got easier. JCapper Platinum has a new UPR Tools Interface that takes you on a "guided tour." The tour enables you to
auto select and auto weight factors the way I go about doing it when I create UPR for myself. You can literally propagate ImpactValues Table entries for
multiple factors at will.
Believe me when I tell you this interface rocks!
As a Registered Program Owner you'll have access to a UPR Tools Video (the link is posted in the private area of the JCapper Message Board/Intranet Site)
where I show off the new interface.
-
The Name Selection Tool
Also known as the "Cool Tool" in the UDM Wizard... It lets you use SQL Expressions to generate lists of names for Riders, Trainers, and Sires so that you can use them in UDMs...
In one of the videos I'm seen using it to generate a list of 750 under the radar trainer names which I then paste into a UDM Definition.
-
The New Scratch Bot
It uses a special data feed to get scratches and races off the turf for all loaded race cards... The new feed is continuously updated throughout the day
in something pretty close to real time. As a Registered Program Owner you get to parse the new feed with a single button click.
Oh, you have to do some set up work first... You have to enter 3 character track codes and track names in a table.
But it's not too hard to do... In fact there's a video covering that.
-
New Factors
Depending on when you last downloaded many of these are going to be brand new to you... Early Consensus, Form Consensus, Fig Consensus, Class Consensus,
Power Consensus, ESP Race Shape, Will To Win, Drive Type, Stage Readiness, Horse Type, Distance Cycle, FastSlowPace, FastSlowFinal...
-
New Videos
I've added an Index to the JCapper 101 Audio and Video page at JCapper.com. Pick a topic from the Index and watch videos about that topic.
Lots of new videos there... with more on the way.
-
Support for Brisnet Multicaps Files
If you are a TSN Advantage Plan data subscriber you probably already received that letter from Twinspires... the one telling you how they
are downsizing TSN into Brisnet.
If so then you're probably aware that Brisnet will honor all TSN Advantage Plan data subscriptions by giving continuing TSN subscribers access to
Brisnet Multicaps data files in place of TSN Procaps files for the same price... at least through the end of 2010.
To that end I've added support to JCapper Platinum for Brisnet Procaps Data Files. You'll find that you can use The File Downloader, The File Unzipper, and
The Card Loader to download, unzip, and load Multicaps Files into JCapper. You'll also find that you can use The Database Builder to build databases
using Multicaps Files as the source... as well as use The Data Window to query those databases -- in both Playlist File Mode and SQL Mode.

.
I could go on... but I THINK you get the point.
I've spent the past six months pretty much locked away in my "office"... doing 12 and 14 hour programming sessions... but being insanely productive and adding LOTS of new features to JCapper.
A lot of you have already Upgraded... without me really asking... except for a post or two on the JCapper Message Board.
A few of you even emailed me to ask:
"Jeff, why haven't you asked me to upgrade yet?"...
and...
"Jeff, are you purposely ignoring me?"...
You see I didn't want to send out emails to JCapper customers asking people to upgrade... at least not until I had taken JCapper
Platinum to a certain point...
The point where I could look back and honestly say "Wow. There's so much in there it really IS worth the price of the upgrade many times over."
I have to tell you I didn't just reach that point - I went past it.... Ok, a lot past it.
I've taken JCapper Platinum to the point to where I feel like I would be doing you a real disservice if I didn't write to tell you about it.
Seriously... Get the Upgrade. You'll be glad you did.
Best Regards,

Money Back Guarantee
I offer a 30 day money back guarantee. I want your JCapper ownership experience to be a thoroughly enjoyable one. If you are not
happy with me, I don't want your money. It's just not worth it to me. I say this for several reasons. First, I'm not a big fish. I
can't afford to pay out big dollars to advertise JCapper. My marketing plan is a simple one. I rely on word of mouth. Therefore,
my own reputation is really all a prospective customer has to go on. Research has shown that a satisfied customer will tell two
friends about a product or service that they are happy with. A dissatisfied customer tells ten friends. Think about that one for a moment.
For that reason, I back JCapper with a 30 day no questions asked 100 percent money back guarantee. Simply ask for a refund
within 30 days of purchase (the postmark date on the envelope used to mail your check) and I will refund 100 percent of your
purchase price- no questions asked. It's as simple as that.
