Ted is a topnotch person, topnotch developer (RDSS2), topnotch teacher and communicator.
If you’re looking to handicap using the Sartin Methodology you couldn’t ask for a better program. Screens: BL/BL has it all on one tab, Energy, POH, POR, Segments, it’s all there. RDSS2 makes pace line section easier! When it comes to the Matchup this program is Great! Working what you determine to be 1st, and 2nd call fraction, and final time, than comparing those fractions to today’s runners is so much easier with RDSS2. Then you have the Tandem races (Matchup Tab) with one click of the mouse. I would recommend this program and website for anyone who is serious about learning the teaching of the methodology. Ted and Bill do a great job and the contributions from the members are second to none. Thanks to everyone who contribute to Pace and Cap! Mike |

I can't say enough good things about RDSS and Ted, both are at the top of the my list.
The ease of use and support are outstanding. Each handicapper can make this product their own. So many ways to dissect a race at your option. Color coding makes those who like Jim Bradshaw's Match Up a breeze to find contenders. I believe others outside the Sartin Methodology would find this tool to be useful. Continued success Ted, John dogkatcher

Thank you Ted
I consider myself a born skeptic. But I am an unabashed fan of RDSS. It takes you right to the core issue-pace and allows you to see the important factors clearly (color is huge help). As a psychiatrist-therapist I regularly say to my patients "I am giving you tools and will help you use them and if we are successful you won't need me." Ted has done that for all of us and made himself available readily to sharpen those tools. In addition the library of reading material is an unmatched treasure trove of info. Many many thanks

Finishing my first year using RDSS.
I have always believed that pace line selection is the key to success and the tools in RDSS for confirming or tossing a pace line are excellent. The colored readouts, Energy, TPR, the Segments screen, all make getting to the heart of a race easier than I had hoped for. Looking forward to my second year with RDSS. |

I am compelled to say that I have not tried any other software. However, I am not looking at any other software either.
I look at it all as much more than the software itself. It is the portal to Sartin Methodology. There is a vast library of books, manuals, follow ups, seminar videos/audios/workbooks. The forums are full of informative and practical posts that are presented with a spirit of support and encouragement. My interactions with Ted have left me with full faith that he actually cares about his product and wants people to be successful. I’m sure he could charge more, provide less, and be inaccessible. Also, I have had cause to call TrackMaster support once. Painless experience, issue was taken care of immediately. |

TED
I’m in my second year with RDSS2 and has been a very pleasant experience. I have tried other programs and some “systems” but none so far has been so accurate in the selection of real contenders. I play mostly in the local racetrack in Puerto Rico (Camarero Racetrack) and the results has been very good most of the time. My problem here is that not many races are populated enough so I get many low odds favorites, so I can’t always receive the benefit of my work and the accurate selections of the RDSS2. I have the opportunity to play some US racetracks as we receive with the local racetrack programs some simulcast from some good racetrack. Sadly there are few, they group them before and after the local races and usually intermix races from different racetracks, making very difficult for us, who has a full time jobs to play them. I’m still learning to use the program at its full capacity and looking forward for the updates. Keep the good work Ted. Best Regards to all agomez |

The Best There is.....
I'm happy to add my voice of praise to the many who have responded with glowing testimonials about RDSS and especially about Ted.
I have been involved with Howard Sartin since first reading about him while doing research on the deficiencies of the medical model applied to gambling. (I'm a professor and thinking about complex problems is nothing new.) Howard put it all to rest when he said that the problem with "problem gamblers" wasn't gambling, it was losing and the "cure" for losing was winning. That cut a Gordian knot for me and I had to know more about the guy. When I started betting on horses in the late 1980's I first contacted PIRCO and got a hand-written note back from Howard welcoming me to the group. I read the material voraciously, listened to the tapes of the workshops, tried out some of the programs and it all improved my bottom line. I spent some time on the phone with Jim Bradshaw and could not believe how patient and helpful he was with such a newcomer. Later when I found out that Howard was sick my heart went out to him and, like others, I wondered what would happen with his organization. Imagine my delight when I found out about RDSS and saw that it had the imprimatur of Howard in the form of Ted Craven. RDSS was a dream come true. It automated so many things that were tedious and time-consuming in "Energy," "The Matchup" and "Phase I." No more typing in fractions and beaten lengths. I had died and gone to handicapping heaven! And the winners just kept coming. Three things impress me about RDSS. 1) the program itself as I've said; 2) Ted Craven, one of the most honest and ethical people I've ever known (as others have pointed out) and 3) the people who post on PACE 'n CAP. They are singularly supportive and helpful. I've been on other horse-racing forums before discovering PACE 'n CAP and they often sound more like a faculty meeting---full of criticism, vitriol, Talmudic disputes about nothing, and contempt for each other instead of the quiet, reasonable and all-for-one spirit that characterizes our board. My sense is that it all comes from the character and fundamental goodness of Ted Craven. The customer service at RDSS is absolutely first rate. I found this out on many occasions, but especially one Saturday morning last fall when suddenly I couldn't get my Trackmaster RDSS files to load into my laptop. I was in a panic. Ted quickly straightened it out (does the guy ever sleep?) and I realized for the first time why I was in a panic. Because it dawned on me that I am now officially incapable of handicapping without RDSS! Thank you, Ted for this beautiful program, for keeping it all going, and for just being you.
