⚠ Concerns:(1) Rising in class today ($25,000 → $40,000). (2) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 8 recent starts). (3) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 5 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Advance 3w;steady gain. (5) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.5 pts: [76, 59, 68, 67, 54]) — unpredictable performer. (6) 0 wins from 5 starts on turf in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.
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.
- Race Shape
- 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

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 41-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (42%). (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (46%). (4) 4 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) Fourth race back from a 175-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (8) Consistent workout spacing (6, 6 days) — disciplined training regimen. (9) Returning from 41-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (10) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 5/10 — angles: Profitable Rider, Paying Partnership, Profitable Barn.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 41 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: Bump brk;4w;shifted in. (6) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.31 per $2 over 118 starts) - the betting market underprices this barn. (7) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.01 per $2 over 186 mounts) - the market underrates this rider. (8) Trainer/jockey pairing is flat-bet PROFITABLE (+0.85 per $2 over 26 starts together) - a paying partnership the odds don't reflect. (9) First start at WO — never raced here before (last seen at: WO).

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (44%). (2) Big last-race effort (82) — 15 pts above recent average. (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (48%). (4) Fourth race back from a 154-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (5) Speed improved +12 pts then +9 pts in last 2 starts (61 → 73 → 82) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (6) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (7) First career start on turf with a strong turf pedigree rating of 106 — bred for the surface; first-timers with strong pedigree win at a price. (8) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 4/10 — angles: Paying Partnership, Profitable Barn, First-Time Turf with Pedigree.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) First time at today's distance. (3) Moving from a sprint to a route today. (4) Today's distance is longer than any previous start. (5) Has never raced on turf surface. (6) Switching from dirt to turf today. (7) Trip note from last race: Set pace;caught wire. (8) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.28 per $2 over 91 starts) - the betting market underprices this barn. (9) Trainer/jockey pairing is flat-bet PROFITABLE (+0.24 per $2 over 44 starts together) - a paying partnership the odds don't reflect. (10) First start at WO — never raced here before (last seen at: WO). (11) Two consecutive 5+ pt speed jumps (61 → 73 → 82) and last race speed is well above career average (72) — high bounce risk after back-to-back peak efforts.

✓ Positives:(1) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (2) First career start on turf with a strong turf pedigree rating of 101 — bred for the surface; first-timers with strong pedigree win at a price. (3) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 3/10 — angles: Profitable Rider, First-Time Turf with Pedigree.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Speed average (61) well below field median (67). (2) First time at today's distance. (3) Moving from a sprint to a route today. (4) Today's distance is longer than any previous start. (5) Has never raced on turf surface. (6) Switching from dirt to turf today. (7) Trip note from last race: Bmpd brk;chase 3w btwn. (8) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.02 per $2 over 102 mounts) - the market underrates this rider.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (39%). (2) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (38%). (3) 3 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (4) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'S', 'U', 'V']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Rising in class today ($25,000 → $40,000). (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) Limited experience at today's distance (1 start). (5) Unproven on turf surface (1 start). (6) Trip note from last race: Duel ins;saved 3rd. (7) Rising in class ($25,000 → $40,000) after finishing 3 last out — double negative.

✓ Positives:(1) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (2) Fourth race back from a 210-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (3) First career start on turf with a strong turf pedigree rating of 105 — 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: Mild run3W5/16;stalled. (5) Consistently breaks behind post position (3 of last 5 starts). (6) Consistently runs wide at the first call (4 of last 5 starts). (7) First start at WO — never raced here before (last seen at: WO).

✓ Positives:(1) Equipment change today (code: 2). (2) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (38%). (3) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 90 vs field 80). (4) Has won at WO on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'O']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) Speed average (60) well below field median (67). (3) Limited experience at today's distance (2 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Lead;collar1/4;held3rd. (5) No workout in last 30 days despite 21 days since last race.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (44%). (2) Big last-race effort (72) — 16 pts above recent average. (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (43%). (4) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (5) Has won at WO on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (6) Speed improved +16 pts then +8 pts in last 2 starts (48 → 64 → 72) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (7) Trainer 'GITTENS DEVON' has 2 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now. (8) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'O', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Speed average (61) well below field median (67). (2) First time at today's distance. (3) Moving from a sprint to a route today. (4) Today's distance is longer than any previous start. (5) Trip note from last race: Trail;stormed home ins. (6) Two consecutive 5+ pt speed jumps (48 → 64 → 72) and last race speed is well above career average (61) — high bounce risk after back-to-back peak efforts.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($23,500 → $7,500). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (37%). (3) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (4) Strong speed 2 back (72), modest dip last out (67) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (5) Switching turf-to-dirt with a strong turf pedigree rating (105) — pedigree suggests main-track improvement is likely. (6) Has won at WO on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (7) Carries 6 lbs less than field median (115 lbs vs median 121 lbs). (8) Career-best figure (78) buried in races 4–10 back — 11 pts above race median and 6 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Switching from turf to dirt today. (2) Trip note from last race: Brk out;trail;pass few. (3) No workout in last 30 days despite 21 days since last race.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (43%). (2) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (3) Strong speed 2 back (73), modest dip last out (68) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (4) Has won at today's distance (1430 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Has won at WO on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (6) Trainer 'GITTENS DEVON' has 2 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now. (7) Career-best figure (81) buried in races 4–10 back — 10 pts above race median and 8 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Rising in class today ($7,500 → $15,000). (2) Trip note from last race: Duel ins early;tired16. (3) Has not won in last 10 starts despite career wins. (4) No workout in last 30 days despite 21 days since last race. (5) Rising in class ($7,500 → $15,000) after finishing 5 last out — double negative. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 9.3 pts: [68, 73, 52, 67, 76]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Speed average (78) well above field median (71). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (51%). (3) Career-best speed figure (77) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (4) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 87 vs field 83). (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'S', 'V']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 10 recent starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Led 9/16; saved place. (4) Has not won in last 10 starts despite career wins. (5) 0 wins from 8 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 93 vs field 83). (2) Has won at today's distance (1430 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (3) Has won at WO on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (4) Trainer 'GITTENS DEVON' has 2 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Rising in class today ($7,500 → $15,000). (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (7 of 9 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Chased;stopped str. (5) No workout in last 30 days despite 21 days since last race. (6) Rising in class ($7,500 → $15,000) after finishing 7 last out — double negative. (7) Stepping up to $15,000 — highest class level in last 10 starts (previous high: $10,000).

✓ Positives:(1) Speed average (74) well above field median (69). (2) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 89 vs field 83). (3) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'O', 'S', 'T', 'V']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (4) First career start on turf with a strong turf pedigree rating of 106 — bred for the surface; first-timers with strong pedigree win at a price.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) First time at today's distance. (3) Moving from a sprint to a route today. (4) Today's distance is longer than any previous start. (5) Has never raced on turf surface. (6) Switching from dirt to turf today. (7) Trip note from last race: Vied btwn1/4;won show.

✓ Positives:(1) Big last-race effort (67) — 19 pts above recent average. (2) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (37%). (3) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 83 vs field 76). (4) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (5) Fourth race back from a 266-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (6) Speed improved +51 pts then +8 pts in last 2 starts (8 → 59 → 67) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (7) Trainer 'DEPAULO MICHAEL P' has 3 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now. (8) Career-best figure (78) buried in races 4–10 back — 9 pts above race median and 11 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Speed average (62) well below field median (69). (2) Trip note from last race: Check4W1st;lost path. (3) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 28.9 pts: [67, 59, 8, 77, 78]) — unpredictable performer.
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

Race Pace Simulation Guide
- 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.
- Track Bias
- Slider below canvas. −2 = strong closer/wet bias; +2 = strong speed/rail bias. Recomputes the predicted finish order.
- Boxed Indicator
- 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.

(8) Dropping in class ($10,000 vs last $25,000) after a 57-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (9) Career-best figure (75) buried in races 4–10 back — 17 pts above race median and 10 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 57 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Limited experience at today's distance (2 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Chase front duo;wilted. (5) Was the betting favorite in the last race but finished off the board. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 9.4 pts: [56, 65, 49, 63, 74]) — unpredictable performer. (7) 0 wins from 5 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.
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.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($25,000 → $10,000). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (40%). (3) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (4) Cutting back to sprint (1430 yds) from routes — sprint speed figures (28.2) are 5.9 pts better than route figures (22.3).
⚠ Concerns:(1) Speed average (35) well below field median (58). (2) First time at today's distance. (3) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (4) Unproven on dirt surface (1 start). (5) Switching from turf to dirt today. (6) Trip note from last race: 4wd early;no threat. (7) No workout in last 30 days despite 22 days since last race.

✓ Positives:(1) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 91 vs field 85). (2) Career-best figure (73) buried in races 4–10 back — 15 pts above race median and 19 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Repeatedly beaten at this class level (3 of last 5 starts). (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 5 recent starts). (4) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 6 starts). (5) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (4 of 5 starts). (6) Trip note from last race: Made little impact. (7) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.36 per $2 over 64 mounts) - the market underrates this rider. (8) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 11.1 pts: [51, 54, 53, 32, 62]) — unpredictable performer. (9) 0 wins from 6 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Last race E1 pace (94.0) was 8.0 pts above personal avg (86.0) and horse still finished 6th — pace collapse victim; expect bounce if today's fractions are softer. (2) Averages 56.9 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 45.7 in other configs (7 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Repeatedly beaten at this class level (4 of last 5 starts). (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 7 recent starts). (4) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 10 starts). (5) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (6 of 7 starts). (6) Trip note from last race: Collar rail3/16;wilted. (7) No workout in last 30 days despite 22 days since last race. (8) Post 7 in a 13-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (9) 0 wins from 9 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (42%). (2) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 68 vs field 61). (3) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['L', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (3) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 5 recent starts). (4) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 8 starts). (5) Trip note from last race: Stalk wnnr;urging 7/16. (6) Outside post (8) in a large field of 13 horses. (7) Was the betting favorite in the last race but finished off the board. (8) Post 8 in a 13-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (9) 0 wins from 8 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.
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

✓ Positives:(1) Speed average (64) well above field median (58). (2) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 64 vs field 61). (3) Fourth race back from a 224-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (4) Career-best figure (74) buried in races 4–10 back — 16 pts above race median and 14 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'O', 'T']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Poor recent form - recent speed ratings well below career norm. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 8 recent starts). (4) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 8 starts). (5) Trip note from last race: Headfront1/8;need more. (6) Cold trainer - low ITM rate (6%). (7) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+1.29 per $2 over 56 mounts) - the market underrates this rider. (8) Outside post (10) in a large field of 13 horses. (9) No workout in last 30 days despite 22 days since last race. (10) Post 10 in a 13-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (11) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 13.4 pts: [60, 58, 41, 74, 73]) — unpredictable performer. (12) 0 wins from 8 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($25,000 → $10,000). (2) Equipment change today (code: 1). (3) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (4) Switching turf-to-dirt with a strong turf pedigree rating (104) — pedigree suggests main-track improvement is likely. (5) Averages 61.5 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 56.0 in other configs (4 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (2) Switching from turf to dirt today. (3) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 5 recent starts). (4) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 9 starts). (5) Trip note from last race: 2-3w;4w5/16;no rally. (6) Outside post (11) in a large field of 13 horses. (7) No workout in last 30 days despite 22 days since last race. (8) Post 11 in a 13-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (9) 0 wins from 7 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.
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.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (47%). (2) Track specialist — 3 wins from 7 starts here (43%). (3) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 85 vs field 80). (4) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (5) Has won at today's distance (1100 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (6) Has won at WO on turf in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['L', 'O', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Was claimed from its most recent race - new connections. (2) Trip note from last race: 5Wstr;almost at wire. (3) Consistently runs wide at the first call (4 of last 5 starts). (4) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.3 pts: [74, 74, 87, 89, 71]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 40-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (58%). (3) Track specialist — 5 wins from 17 starts here (29%). (4) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 95 vs field 92). (5) Has won at today's distance (1100 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (6) Returning from 40-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (7) Has won at WO on turf in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (8) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'O', 'S']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 40 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (8 of 10 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: One paced;minors. (5) Has not won in last 10 starts despite career wins.

- 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.
- Track Bias
- Slider below canvas. −2 = strong closer/wet bias; +2 = strong speed/rail bias. Recomputes the predicted finish order.
- Boxed Indicator
- 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.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (50%). (2) Strong trainer/jockey combo - 3 wins from 9 starts (33%). (3) Career-best speed figure (45) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (4) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (48%). (5) In the money in last 6 consecutive starts. (6) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['L', 'O', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) Limited experience at today's distance (1 start). (3) Switching from dirt to turf today. (4) Trip note from last race: Control pace;just miss. (5) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+1.16 per $2 over 41 starts) - the betting market underprices this barn. (6) First start at WO — never raced here before (last seen at: WO).

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 54-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Career-best speed figure (84) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (3) Big last-race effort (86) — 16 pts above recent average. (4) Has won at today's distance (1100 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Returning from 54-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (6) Speed improved +5 pts then +6 pts in last 2 starts (75 → 80 → 86) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (7) Trainer 'DEPAULO MICHAEL P' has 3 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now. (8) Career-best figure (94) buried in races 4–10 back — 13 pts above race median and 8 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (9) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', 'O', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (10) Averages 87.6 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 77.0 in other configs (5 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 54 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Switching from dirt to turf today. (4) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (8 of 10 starts). (5) Trip note from last race: Pressed;led;stubborn. (6) Stepping up to $40,000 — highest class level in last 10 starts (previous high: $17,500). (7) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 11.5 pts: [86, 80, 75, 56, 80]) — unpredictable performer. (8) 0 wins from 5 starts on turf in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface. (9) First start at WO — never raced here before (last seen at: GP).

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (68%). (2) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (45%). (3) Won last 5 consecutive starts. (4) Strong speed 2 back (89), modest dip last out (78) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (5) Has won at today's distance (1100 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (6) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'S', 'U', 'V']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) Switching from dirt to turf today. (3) Trip note from last race: Brush upper;driving. (4) No workout in last 30 days despite 22 days since last race. (5) Stepping up to $40,000 — highest class level in last 10 starts (previous high: $25,000).

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 39-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (45%). (3) Track specialist — 2 wins from 5 starts here (40%). (4) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 88 vs field 78). (5) Strong speed 2 back (86), modest dip last out (74) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (6) Has won at WO on turf in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 39 days. (2) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (2 of 3 starts). (3) Trip note from last race: 3Wstr lack finish btwn. (4) Trainer/jockey pairing is flat-bet PROFITABLE (+0.12 per $2 over 37 starts together) - a paying partnership the odds don't reflect.

(5) Returning from 36-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (6) Career-best figure (94) buried in races 4–10 back — 14 pts above race median and 11 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 36 days. (2) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 5 recent starts). (3) Trip note from last race: 3p;waited;bid4w;up lte. (4) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.02 per $2 over 102 mounts) - the market underrates this rider. (5) First start at WO — never raced here before (last seen at: CNL, WO, CD).

(5) Track specialist — 3 wins from 11 starts here (27%). (6) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 93 vs field 89). (7) Has won at today's distance (1540 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (8) Career-best figure (94) buried in races 4–10 back — 14 pts above race median and 9 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (9) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Rising in class today ($32,000 → $50,000). (2) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (3) Switching from dirt to turf today. (4) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (4 of 5 starts). (5) Trip note from last race: Bumps brk;clear;lasted. (6) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+1.16 per $2 over 41 starts) - the betting market underprices this barn.
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.

- 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.
- Track Bias
- Slider below canvas. −2 = strong closer/wet bias; +2 = strong speed/rail bias. Recomputes the predicted finish order.
- Boxed Indicator
- 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.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 77-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (45%). (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (48%). (4) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['F', 'L', 'O', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (5) 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) Has not raced in 77 days. (2) Speed average (72) well below field median (80). (3) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (4) Has never raced on turf surface. (5) Switching from dirt to turf today. (6) Trip note from last race: Lost touch far turn. (7) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 17.0 pts: [41, 75, 62, 83, 79]) — unpredictable performer. (8) First start at WO — never raced here before (last seen at: WO).

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($40,000 → $25,000). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (57%). (3) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 89 vs field 80). (4) Consistent workout spacing (7, 7 days) — disciplined training regimen. (5) Has won at today's distance (1870 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (6) Has won at WO on turf in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (7) Last race E1 pace (94.0) was 4.8 pts above personal avg (89.2) and horse still finished 9th — pace collapse victim; expect bounce if today's fractions are softer.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) Limited experience at today's distance (2 starts). (3) Unproven on turf surface (2 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Led st;press rail;fade. (5) Was the betting favorite in the last race but finished off the board.

✓ Positives:(1) Strong trainer/jockey combo - 2 wins from 6 starts (33%). (2) Big last-race effort (70) — 28 pts above recent average. (3) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (4) Has won at today's distance (1870 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Speed improved +40 pts then +17 pts in last 2 starts (13 → 53 → 70) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (6) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['L', 'O', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Rising in class today ($9,500 → $25,000). (2) Speed average (49) well below field median (72). (3) Unproven on turf surface (1 start). (4) Switching from dirt to turf today. (5) Trip note from last race: No room3/16;late surge. (6) Consistently runs wide at the first call (3 of last 5 starts). (7) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+2.54 per $2 over 57 starts) - the betting market underprices this barn. (8) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 21.7 pts: [70, 53, 13, 60, 47]) — unpredictable performer. (9) Two consecutive 5+ pt speed jumps (13 → 53 → 70) and last race speed is well above career average (49) — high bounce risk after back-to-back peak efforts.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (58%). (2) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 78 vs field 72). (3) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (4) Fourth race back from a 85-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', 'O', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Rising in class today ($7,500 → $25,000). (2) Was claimed from its most recent race - new connections. (3) Moving from a sprint to a route today. (4) Switching from dirt to turf today. (5) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (6) Trip note from last race: Brk out;gradually outs. (7) Dropping in class in consecutive starts ($17,500 → $15,000 → $7,500). (8) Rising in class ($7,500 → $25,000) after finishing 4 last out — double negative. (9) First start at WO — never raced here before (last seen at: WO, GP).

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.
Race Pace Simulation Guide
- 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.
- Track Bias
- Slider below canvas. −2 = strong closer/wet bias; +2 = strong speed/rail bias. Recomputes the predicted finish order.
- Boxed Indicator
- 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.

Chart Guide (2.0.38)
- Bubbles
- 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
✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 252-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Equipment change today (code: 2). (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (48%). (4) 4 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) Strong speed 2 back (77), modest dip last out (72) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (8) Consistent workout spacing (7, 6 days) — disciplined training regimen. (9) Has won at today's distance (1870 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (10) Returning from 252-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (11) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'F', 'T']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 252 days. (2) Unproven on turf surface (2 starts). (3) Switching from dirt to turf today. (4) Trip note from last race: Bmpd btwn brk;fan 9wd. (5) Outside post (10) in a large field of 10 horses.
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.
- Race Shape
- 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

| Edge = P(win) × decimal odds − 1. Only longshots clearing a 10% edge are shown (the same bar used to flag a longshot pick). Each ¼ Kelly stake is capped at 5% of bankroll, and the whole column is scaled so the TOTAL never exceeds your bankroll (simultaneous quarter-Kelly bets otherwise sum to more than 100%). Pick your bankroll from the dropdown and every suggested bet — and the total — updates accordingly. | ||||||

✓ Positives:(1) Big last-race effort (76) — 11 pts above recent average. (2) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (3) Trainer 'DEPAULO MICHAEL P' has 3 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now. (4) Career-best figure (81) buried in races 4–10 back — 14 pts above race median and 5 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'S', 'T', 'V']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (6) Averages 78.0 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 66.3 in other configs (3 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
