Our AI top pick and the independent expert consensus landed on the same horse — the strongest daily signal we track, and the record shown is how that exact tier has run over the last 90 days. Picks are made the night before and re-ranked each morning once the official scratches are out. One free per day; members get the full alignment list every morning.

How Pick Pony works

1

Every horse gets rated

Eleven machine-learning models score every entrant at every covered track — form, pace, class, connections — hours before post time.

2

You get the picks first

Tip sheets, Smart Stats, and full past performances land in your account every race day, so you bet with the data — not a hunch.

3

Results you can verify

We publish yesterday's hits, misses, and payoffs right here on the homepage. No cherry-picking, no fine print.
