Color = surface: green (turf), brown (dirt), blue (synthetic)
Top number = finishing position; bottom number in parentheses = starting post position
Height above line = beaten lengths — closer means a smaller margin
Border = track conditions: green (FST/GD/FM), yellow (WF/SL/YLD), red (SY/MY/FRZ/SFT/HVY)
Connecting Line
Solid = good conditions; dashed = bad conditions
Line Symbol
▲ Triangle = sprint (7f or less); ● Circle = route (more than 7f)
Days Between Races
Small number above each bubble (e.g. 19d) = days since the previous race — helps spot freshness, layoffs, and tight scheduling.
Shaded Band (Bollinger)
Highlights volatility — a wider band means more variation in recent performance
Performance Trend
Straight line showing the overall performance direction — angled up = improving, angled down = declining
Dashed Reference Line
AI Opponent = AI analysis class-level par for the race
AI Model Score History
AI Model History Guide
Lines
Each solid line shows this horse’s model score over its last 10 races: blue = Mod1, green = Mod2, amber = Mod3.
Dashed Lines
Dashed lines represent the current race’s field average for each model — a score below the dashed line indicates the horse ranked below average in this model’s assessment.
Higher is Stronger
All three model scores are 0–100: a higher number means the model rates this horse more favorably among the field.

Bars (per post)
Blue = avg career performance • Amber = avg last 3 races • Green = last race (improved vs. avg) • Red = last race (declined vs. avg)
Trend Line
Angled line above the bars: rising = improving form • falling = declining form.
Horizontal Line
Field average — the mean career performance of all horses in this race.
Color Circles
Standard post-position colors below each lane — same as the Total Pace chart.
Border
Thicker border = this horse’s post position.

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.

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.

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.

Slider
Drag left→right to advance from gate to finish. Drag all the way back to reset the race.
Predicted Finish Order
Factors in contested pace burn, each horse’s effort curve (peaked-early vs. peaked-late), and wide trip cost from outside posts. Updated live when Track Bias changes.
Pace Scenario
Lone Speed: single E horse likely rates and holds. Contested: two E horses burn each other — closers benefit. Hot Pace: speed meltdown, deep closers thrive. Soft: no early speed, moderate fractions throughout.
Dashed orange ring = horse is surrounded (rival ahead, rival behind, wall outside). In a real race this horse must find a clear path to run.
Running Styles
E/EE = early speed (rushes to rail). P = presser (stalks the pace). S = stalker. SS = slow starter / closer.
