(6) Last race E1 pace (98.0) was 8.8 pts above personal avg (89.2) and horse still finished 6th — pace collapse victim; expect bounce if today's fractions are softer. (7) Career-best figure (70) buried in races 4–10 back — 10 pts above race median and 5 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) Speed average (48) well below field median (60).

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 66-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Big last-race effort (78) — 15 pts above recent average. (3) 3 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (4) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (5) Consistent workout spacing (7, 7 days) — disciplined training regimen. (6) Carries 10 lbs less than field median (112 lbs vs median 122 lbs). (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'S', 'U']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 66 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) First time at today's distance. (4) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (5) Today's distance is shorter than any previous start. (6) 0 wins from 4 career starts on off tracks. (7) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 8 starts). (8) Trip note from last race: Shrd cmd; grudgingly. (9) Last race was career-best speed (78) — bounce risk after peak effort. (10) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 12.4 pts: [78, 59, 70, 61, 45]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($20,000 → $8,000). (2) Career-best speed figure (73) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (3) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (4) Dropping in class ($8,000 vs last $20,000) after a 205-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (5) Returning from 205-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (6) Has won at IND on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (7) Carries 7 lbs less than field median (115 lbs vs median 122 lbs).
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 205 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Speed average (53) well below field median (60). (4) 0 wins from 5 career starts on off tracks. (5) Trip note from last race: 3path;gave way str. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 17.0 pts: [37, 73, 50, 34, 65]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Carries 10 lbs less than field median (114 lbs vs median 124 lbs). (2) Speed improved +17 pts then +6 pts in last 2 starts (40 → 57 → 63) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (3) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', 'U']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Rising in class today ($12,500 → $30,000). (2) Speed average (55) well below field median (62). (3) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Angld4p5/16;bid;dueled. (5) 0 wins from post 1 in 3 recent starts. (6) Last race was career-best speed (63) — bounce risk after peak effort. (7) No workout in last 30 days despite 29 days since last race. (8) Stepping up to $30,000 — highest class level in last 10 starts (previous high: $15,000). (9) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 12.3 pts: [63, 57, 40, 69, 44]) — unpredictable performer. (10) 0 wins from 5 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface. (11) Two consecutive 5+ pt speed jumps (40 → 57 → 63) and last race speed is well above career average (55) — high bounce risk after back-to-back peak efforts.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (34%). (2) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 90 vs field 87). (3) Career-best figure (86) buried in races 4–10 back — 24 pts above race median and 19 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (4) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'L', 'O', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 6 recent starts). (2) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (4 of 6 starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Drew off;couldn't last. (4) No workout in last 30 days despite 23 days since last race. (5) 0 wins from 7 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 178-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) 4 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (3) Has a bullet work (fastest at track that day) — sharp conditioning signal. (4) Consistent workout spacing (7, 7 days) — disciplined training regimen. (5) Returning from 178-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (6) Has won at IND on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (7) Career-best figure (69) buried in races 4–10 back — 10 pts above race median and 6 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 178 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Speed average (50) well below field median (59). (4) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (5) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (3 of 4 starts). (6) Trip note from last race: 3path;no late bid. (7) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 13.5 pts: [37, 44, 63, 60, 69]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (52%). (2) Big last-race effort (73) — 15 pts above recent average. (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (39%). (4) In the money in last 3 consecutive starts. (5) 3 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (6) Track specialist — 2 wins from 5 starts here (40%). (7) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 76 vs field 68). (8) Consistent workout spacing (7, 7 days) — disciplined training regimen. (9) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (10) Has won at IND on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (11) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'V']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 175 days. (2) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (3) Trip note from last race: Angld5p5/16;rallie;drv. (4) Consistently runs wide at the first call (3 of last 5 starts). (5) Last race was career-best speed (73) — bounce risk after peak effort. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 10.9 pts: [73, 70, 56, 48, 53]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 42-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 81 vs field 73). (3) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (4) Fourth race back from a 61-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (5) Has won at IND on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (6) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['L', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 42 days. (2) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (3) Trip note from last race: 2p-rail; empty stretch. (4) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 9.3 pts: [51, 65, 74, 60, 53]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 76-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) In the money in last 4 consecutive starts. (3) 3 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (4) Has a bullet work (fastest at track that day) — sharp conditioning signal. (5) Consistent workout spacing (7, 7 days) — disciplined training regimen. (6) Has won at today's distance (1760 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (7) Returning from 76-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (8) Has won at IND on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (9) Carries 5 lbs less than field median (114 lbs vs median 119 lbs). (10) Speed improved +7 pts then +4 pts in last 2 starts (68 → 75 → 79) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (11) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (12) Averages 71.7 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 62.0 in other configs (7 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 76 days. (2) Was claimed from its most recent race - new connections. (3) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (4) Trip note from last race: Prss 2w;led 5/16;bestd. (5) Last race was career-best speed (79) — bounce risk after peak effort.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (45%). (2) Big last-race effort (74) — 10 pts above recent average. (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (44%). (4) 6 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (5) Has a bullet work (fastest at track that day) — sharp conditioning signal. (6) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (7) Speed improved +5 pts then +13 pts in last 2 starts (56 → 61 → 74) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (8) Averages 72.0 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 58.5 in other configs (4 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (2) Trip note from last race: Stp slw;ins;traffc upr. (3) Consistently breaks behind post position (3 of last 5 starts). (4) Consistently runs wide at the first call (3 of last 5 starts). (5) Last race was career-best speed (74) — bounce risk after peak effort. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.5 pts: [74, 61, 56, 74, 73]) — unpredictable performer. (7) First start at IND — never raced here before (last seen at: CD, IND). (8) Two consecutive 5+ pt speed jumps (56 → 61 → 74) and last race speed is well above career average (68) — high bounce risk after back-to-back peak efforts.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 41-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Big last-race effort (73) — 13 pts above recent average. (3) Fourth race back from a 236-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (4) Speed improved +6 pts then +10 pts in last 2 starts (57 → 63 → 73) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'S']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 41 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Unproven on turf surface (1 start). (4) Switching from dirt to turf today. (5) Trip note from last race: 3-2p;led ins;game;nail. (6) Outside post (9) in a large field of 16 horses. (7) First start at IND — never raced here before (last seen at: TP, CD). (8) Two consecutive 5+ pt speed jumps (57 → 63 → 73) and last race speed is well above career average (64) — high bounce risk after back-to-back peak efforts.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 76-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 84 vs field 80). (3) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 76-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Speed average (73) well above field median (68). (3) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (45%). (4) 4 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (5) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (6) Consistent workout spacing (7, 7 days) — disciplined training regimen. (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'L', 'T']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (8) First career start on turf with a strong turf pedigree rating of 102 — bred for the surface; first-timers with strong pedigree win at a price.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 76 days. (2) Limited experience at today's distance (1 start). (3) Has never raced on turf surface. (4) Switching from dirt to turf today. (5) Trip note from last race: 3-5p;rally7/16;flattnd. (6) Outside post (12) in a large field of 16 horses.

(4) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (6) First career start on turf with a strong turf pedigree rating of 111 — bred for the surface; first-timers with strong pedigree win at a price.
⚠ Concerns:(1) First time at today's distance. (2) Moving from a sprint to a route today. (3) Today's distance is longer than any previous start. (4) Has never raced on turf surface. (5) Switching from dirt to turf today. (6) Trip note from last race: Split; rallied well 4w. (7) Outside post (14) in a large field of 16 horses.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($7,500 → $5,000). (2) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 87 vs field 76). (3) Dropping in class ($5,000 vs last $7,500) after a 285-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (4) Carries 7 lbs less than field median (112 lbs vs median 119 lbs).
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 285 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Speed average (52) well below field median (58). (4) Limited experience at today's distance (1 start). (5) Moving from a sprint to a route today. (6) Trip note from last race: Rail; dropped back. (7) Post 7 in a 8-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (8) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.1 pts: [42, 45, 63, 48, 51]) — unpredictable performer. (9) First start at IND — never raced here before (last seen at: BTP).

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($7,500 → $5,000). (2) Speed average (65) well above field median (58). (3) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (49%). (4) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 72 vs field 65). (5) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (6) Has won at today's distance (1760 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (7) Dropping in class ($5,000 vs last $7,500) after a 71-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (8) Has won at IND on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (9) Career-best figure (72) buried in races 4–10 back — 14 pts above race median and 6 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 220-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Career-best speed figure (25) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (3) 3 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (4) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (5) Strong speed 2 back (55), modest dip last out (48) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (6) Consistent workout spacing (7, 7 days) — disciplined training regimen. (7) One gate workout in recent training — sharpness signal from the gate. (8) Carries 6 lbs less than field median (114 lbs vs median 120 lbs). (9) Career-best figure (61) buried in races 4–10 back — 17 pts above race median and 6 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (10) Averages 51.2 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 37.2 in other configs (5 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 220 days. (2) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 9 recent starts). (3) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 13 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Squeezed back start. (5) Consistently runs wide at the first call (3 of last 5 starts). (6) 0 wins from 5 starts on turf in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Career-best speed figure (62) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (2) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 69 vs field 64). (3) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (4) Fourth race back from a 146-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (5) Strong speed 2 back (62), modest dip last out (51) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (6) First career start on turf with a strong turf pedigree rating of 100 — bred for the surface; first-timers with strong pedigree win at a price.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Limited experience at today's distance (2 starts). (2) Has never raced on turf surface. (3) Switching from dirt to turf today. (4) Trip note from last race: Hop;chk3/4;bid;no gain. (5) Consistently breaks behind post position (4 of last 5 starts). (6) Consistently runs wide at the first call (4 of last 5 starts). (7) No workout in last 30 days despite 16 days since last race. (8) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 10.4 pts: [51, 62, 47, 42, 34]) — unpredictable performer. (9) First start at IND — never raced here before (last seen at: IND).

Lane Bias Guide
- Bar Direction
- Bars above the line = more favorable lane • Bars below = less favorable, relative to the average at this track.
- Color
- Green = above-average advantage • Yellow = near-average • Red = below-average • Blue = this horse’s lane.
- Bias Score
- Derived from weighted average finishing positions across historical races at this track. Shown in the tooltip on hover. To use the bias score, calculate your handicap for the horse (e.g. finish position), then add (detrimental bias) or subtract (favorable bias) the bias score.
- Races
- Number of historical races used to compute each lane’s bias score.
Race Pace Bias Guide
- Bar Height & Direction
- Positive (green) = pace favors this horse • Negative (red) = pace works against this horse • Near-zero (amber) = neutral.

- Projected race shape based on running styles of all horses (e.g. EE = two early horses, EP = one early presser).
- Pace Category
- FAST = contested early pace • LONE EARLY = one speed horse controlling pace • HONEST = moderate early pressure • SLOW = closers’ race.
- Flag (★)
- A star above the bar means this horse’s pace bias figure is ≥ 1.5 — a meaningful pace advantage or disadvantage.
Total Pace Guide
- Bar Segments
- Green = Early Pace (E1) • Amber = Mid Pace (E2) • Red = Late Pace (LP)
- Bar Height
- Total height = sum of E1 + E2 + LP average pace figures. Taller bars indicate a faster-paced horse overall.
- Grades & Rankings
- Hover to see each horse’s letter grade and ranking vs. other horses in this race (e.g. 2/9 = 2nd best of 9).
- Border
- Thicker border = this horse’s post position.
Figure Comparison
- Rating
- The three Pick Pony algorithm ratings (Algo 1, Algo 2, Algo 3) that make up the overall PP AI Rating — higher is a stronger contender rating.
- Speed
- Career average speed, recent 3-race average, and last-race speed figure — spot horses in improving or declining form.
- Pace
- Average Early (E1), Mid (E2), and Stretch (LP) pace figures — reveals pace-setters vs. closers vs. all-the-way types.
- This horse
- The horse whose stats card is open is highlighted with a darker column background.
Winning Profiles
- Axes
- X: Win % from last 10 starts — Y: In-the-money % (top-3 finishes) from last 10 starts.
- Quadrants
- Consistent Winners (top-right): high win & ITM — reliable performers.
Place Threats (top-left): boards often but doesn’t win often — good exacta/trifecta angles.
Streaky (bottom-right): wins occasionally, misses the board often — all-or-nothing.
Developing (bottom-left): still finding form — longshot territory. - Reference Lines
- Dashed lines mark field averages. Dots to the right win more; dots higher board more.
- This horse
- Highlighted with a gold border and larger dot.
AI Model Comparison
- Winner Models (green)
- Mod1(W), Mod2(W), and Mod3(W) trained to predict race winners. Higher score = stronger contender.
- Longshot Models (red)
- Mod1-LS, Mod2-LS, and Mod3-LS trained to find high-value longshots. Higher score = stronger longshot candidate.
- Form Model (blue)
- Mod4 sequence model trained on recent form patterns. Higher score = stronger recent form profile.
- This horse

✓ Positives:(1) One gate workout in recent training — sharpness signal from the gate.
⚠ Concerns:(1) First-time starter - no previous race record. (2) First time at today's distance. (3) Has never raced on dirt surface. (4) Outside post (10) in a large field of 10 horses. (5) Post 10 in a 10-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path.
