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. Brierly earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from the Wayne State University in 1975. As part of his graduate level Ph.D. program in mathematics he took many advanced courses in the theory of probability and statistics. Later on Dr. Brierly applied mathematics and statistics to optimizing logistics support for military systems. Interest in applying mathematics and statistics to games of chance followed naturally from his education and experience background. Dr. Brierly spent most of his spare time during his over two year professional career pursuing the hobby of finding ways to optimize bets on harness horse racing and optimizing chances for winning a lottery. A book on how to optimize chances at winning the library is available at Amazon.com and the author's Ebay store DOULTONANDMORE.The software system created by Dr. Brierly for winning at the harness races is named INSTAN. 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. The expert system permits statistically analyzing any combination of traits by sampling. Both software programs within INSTAN were employed in composing this one-of-a-kind book on harness race betting.
