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

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.
