Gonna download the software and look at what data needed.
Greetings David! RDSS only works with North American Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse races. TrackMaster, our data provider, does not provide data for Hong Kong or Singapore racing. RDSS won't work with the data provided by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. One of my dreams is to adapt RDSS to work with those data files for Hong Kong - not in 2014 though. I have samples of the data files and someone in Australia to hold my hand with them, and a good idea about what to do. Just no time right now.

I do believe that this year in North America we'll finally be able to wager in co-mingled pools for Hong Kong racing (though the time of day is a bit awkward). This availability will be important for some of the 'high rollers' in North America. I'm not sure about Singapore.

Some folks in Philippines and Australia work North American thoroughbred racing using RDSS, so you should also be able to, if that interests you.

I recall that some years ago, using the Matchup and incremental velocity calculations, at least one individual used to report in to Dr Sartin about his work in Hong Kong using Methodology concepts. It's somewhere in the older Follow Up journals. If I can find a reference about that, I'll post it here.
