The Father Of Computerized Horse Racing

[partsnut]

It's very strange to me that on this progressive site that is predicated to computerized handicapping, would fail to recognize the the man that started it all. Without his contributions there would probabably be no par numbers, variants, track to track adjustments, speed points and impact values.. I refer to Dr. William Quirin, who has been recognized and applauded by Tom Brohammer and James Quinn. His works have been copied and imitated by many. This man has authored many books on horse racing and additionally, was the only supplier to many in the industry that are still selling par numbers. Dr. Quirin is in fact a PHd.of Mathematics and is the math department head of mathematics at a New York college.
In my mind Quirin is the father of computerized horse racing.

For the amusement and edification of our group I have attached a picture of an early handheld computer, which may have been the first of it's kind, that the Doctor programmed and which was designed by Evan Mandel. I think it might have been the first of it's kind.
I am lucky enough to own one and have the instructions as well.
The top horse will be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd 58% of the time when used properly.
