SOFTWARE 4.03 – WHAT’S CHANGED (November 2026)
Firstly, it is important to say what hasn’t changed. The background calculations remain the same. They are tried and tested and are unchanged. Now for things that are different:
1 – Virtual Race is gone: While this was a good idea, there are just too many variables to try and get accuracy out of it. The have gone back to editable positions in running and visual finish positions. No more watching a pretend race. Just position and result. Nice and simple. We have improved the graphics of the horses and scenery to match the on-line version.
2 – Wind / Temperature additions: Since January we have been evaluating how wind and temperature can impact race sectionals and results. We are finding some excepted results but not consistent. We have collected wind speed and direction and worked out the orientation of every track in Australia. We now provide wind information relative to the track. It is presented as direction compared to the home straight. (Trial version does not include this upgrade)
3 – Improved speed performance: The file sizes are now reduced and loading of files is quicker. We have also changed servers and this has improved the performance of downloading data. Login checks are now on-line. This means no more 12-hour delays from install to finalising registration. Once you install the software and register – You are good to go.
4 – Menu changes: Because we now hold acceptance for 24 hours after the race meeting. The download menu now allows you to skip yesterdays acceptances. Extra options for meetings – Save and remove meeting are now separate options.
5 – Free Access to on-line App: Because registration is now on-line, you get free access to the Analyser App as part of your subscription so you can use PJ Harness Analyser anytime, anywhere. Simply login with your username/password.
6 – Help files: Help files are now on-line at PJ Harness Analyser Help – PJ Data
7 – Links to HRA: Previous Runs data has links to Harness Racing Australia (HRA) official race result information and replay for every race.
There are a lot of other small changes. There are no changes to the local SQL server database structure.
PJ HARNESS ANALYSER – WEB BASED APP – September 2026
It’s here. We are pleased to announce that we have just launched PJ Harness WebApp. This is the on-line / mobile version of PJ Harness Analyser. To see what it’s all about, just go to Join Now. You will be provided 3 days free for all states to get you started. The WebApp is a cut down version of the Analyser software. Simple to use, quicker and mobile, still the same powerful analysis but it can be accessed on any platform, anytime.
We are reviewing our pricing so watch the purchasing page for updates in the next few days. The on-line app is significantly cheaper so if a cut down / mobile version suits you, you’re in luck. The pricing structure for the desktop software will change to match how we price the App but generally prices won’t be increasing for the software either.
Please help use spread the word. The more interest we can generate the more chance we will have of continuing to offer our Analyser.
