⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) Trip note from last race: Outpaced 1/4 pole. (3) Last race was career-best speed (76) — bounce risk after peak effort. (4) Dropping in class in consecutive starts ($16,000 → $14,000 → $10,000). (5) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 9.6 pts: [76, 73, 58, 54, 61]) — 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
- Bar Height & Direction
- Positive (green) = pace favors this horse • Negative (red) = pace works against this horse • Near-zero (amber) = neutral.

✓ Positives:(1) Speed average (71) well above field median (64). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (45%). (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (50%). (4) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 78 vs field 71). (5) Career-best figure (82) buried in races 4–10 back — 18 pts above race median and 10 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (6) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'L', 'S', 'T', 'V']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (7) Averages 72.4 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 65.0 in other configs (8 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
⚠ 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).

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (52%). (2) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (48%). (3) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (4) Has won at PEN on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (5) Last race E1 pace (92.0) was 10.8 pts above personal avg (81.2) and horse still finished 4th — pace collapse victim; expect bounce if today's fractions are softer. (6) Career-best figure (74) buried in races 4–10 back — 10 pts above race median and 9 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (8) Cutting back to sprint (1320 yds) from routes — sprint speed figures (46.1) are 8.7 pts better than route figures (37.4). (9) Averages 67.5 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 62.0 in other configs (6 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
⚠ 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) Trip note from last race: 2;3-w; weakened. (4) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.75 per $2 over 91 starts) - the betting market underprices this barn.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 57-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) In the money in last 5 consecutive starts. (3) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 78 vs field 71). (4) One gate workout in recent training — sharpness signal from the gate. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', 'T']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 57 days. (2) Rising in class today ($10,000 → $16,000). (3) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (4) Speed average (56) well below field median (64). (5) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 9 recent starts). (6) Trip note from last race: Bid btw 1/2;3w;held 2d. (7) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.85 per $2 over 61 mounts) - the market underrates this rider. (8) Has not won in last 10 starts despite career wins. (9) Stepping up to $16,000 — highest class level in last 10 starts (previous high: $10,000). (10) 0 wins from 10 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 40-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Career-best speed figure (75) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (3) Has a bullet work (fastest at track that day) — sharp conditioning signal. (4) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 91 vs field 87). (5) Strong speed 2 back (75), modest dip last out (64) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (6) Has won at today's distance (1100 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (7) Returning from 40-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (8) Carries 5 lbs less than field median (116 lbs vs median 121 lbs). (9) Last race E1 pace (96.0) was 4.7 pts above personal avg (91.3) and horse still finished 5th — pace collapse victim; expect bounce if today's fractions are softer.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 40 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Unproven on turf surface (2 starts). (4) Switching from dirt to turf today. (5) 0 wins from 6 career starts on off tracks. (6) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 6 starts). (7) Trip note from last race: Vied ins;weakened 3/8. (8) Stepping up to $16,000 — highest class level in last 10 starts (previous high: $12,500).

✓ Positives:(1) Speed average (72) well above field median (66). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (64%). (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (47%). (4) Has won at today's distance (1100 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Trainer 'KULP BRANDON L' has 2 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now. (6) Career-best figure (80) buried in races 4–10 back — 14 pts above race median and 10 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'L', 'O', 'T', 'U', 'V']) 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 111 — 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) Has never raced on turf surface. (3) Switching from dirt to turf today. (4) Trip note from last race: Off duel 4w;mv;flattnd. (5) Was the betting favorite in the last race but finished off the board. (6) First start at PEN — never raced here before (last seen at: PEN).

(3) Outstanding wet-track record: 2W from 8 starts (25%) — thrives when the going is off. (4) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', 'O', 'T']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Was claimed from its most recent race - new connections. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Switching from dirt to turf today. (4) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 9 recent starts). (5) Trip note from last race: Btw to 1/4;altered;bid. (6) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.75 per $2 over 91 starts) - the betting market underprices this barn. (7) Has not won in last 10 starts despite career wins. (8) 0 wins from 5 starts on turf in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Big last-race effort (81) — 12 pts above recent average. (2) Has won at today's distance (1100 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (3) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['L', 'O', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (4) First career start on turf with a strong turf pedigree rating of 97 — bred for the surface; first-timers with strong pedigree win at a price.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 77 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Has never raced on turf surface. (4) Switching from dirt to turf today. (5) Trip note from last race: Up late; going away. (6) Last race was career-best speed (81) — bounce risk after peak effort. (7) First start at PEN — never raced here before (last seen at: DEL, PEN, PRX).

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 34-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (51%). (3) Has a bullet work (fastest at track that day) — sharp conditioning signal. (4) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 90 vs field 86). (5) Returning from 34-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (6) Last race E1 pace (97.0) was 7.5 pts above personal avg (89.5) and horse still finished 8th — pace collapse victim; expect bounce if today's fractions are softer. (7) Career-best figure (81) buried in races 4–10 back — 10 pts above race median and 5 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (8) Averages 68.3 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 63.3 in other configs (3 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 34 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Speed average (65) well below field median (71). (4) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (5) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (6) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 7 starts). (7) Trip note from last race: Dueled 2 wide; stopped. (8) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 13.7 pts: [59, 73, 76, 68, 42]) — unpredictable performer. (9) 0 wins from 9 starts on turf in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 63-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (57%). (3) Strong trainer/jockey combo - 3 wins from 7 starts (43%). (4) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (50%). (5) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (6) Has won at today's distance (1100 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (7) Outstanding wet-track record: 1W from 4 starts (25%) — thrives when the going is off. (8) Returning from 63-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (9) Career-best figure (86) buried in races 4–10 back — 15 pts above race median and 6 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 63 days. (2) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 7 starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Fractious;btw;lack bid. (4) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 9.3 pts: [73, 71, 80, 57, 61]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (2) Career-best figure (82) buried in races 4–10 back — 11 pts above race median and 5 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (2) Unproven on turf surface (1 start). (3) Switching from dirt to turf today. (4) Trip note from last race: Chased; tired. (5) Outside post (8) in a large field of 10 horses. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 9.6 pts: [53, 77, 74, 74, 70]) — 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

✓ Positives:(1) Speed average (78) well above field median (71). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (61%). (3) Career-best speed figure (82) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (4) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 91 vs field 86). (5) Has won at today's distance (1100 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (6) Outstanding wet-track record: 2W from 4 starts (50%) — thrives when the going is off. (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Was claimed from its most recent race - new connections. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Has never raced on turf surface. (4) Switching from dirt to turf today. (5) Trip note from last race: Clear early; held well. (6) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.11 per $2 over 280 starts) - the betting market underprices this barn. (7) Outside post (9) in a large field of 10 horses. (8) First start at PEN — never raced here before (last seen at: PEN).

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 63-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (57%). (3) Strong trainer/jockey combo - 3 wins from 7 starts (43%). (4) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (50%). (5) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (6) Dropping in class ($10,000 vs last $16,000) after a 63-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (7) Has won at PEN on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (8) Career-best figure (75) buried in races 4–10 back — 11 pts above race median and 7 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 63 days. (2) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (3) Switching from turf to dirt today. (4) Trip note from last race: Urged btw 1/2;wknd.
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

✓ Positives:(1) Big last-race effort (84) — 10 pts above recent average. (2) In the money in last 6 consecutive starts. (3) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (4) Outstanding wet-track record: 1W from 4 starts (25%) — thrives when the going is off. (5) Has won at PEN on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (6) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'T', 'V']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Speed average (68) well below field median (75). (2) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (6 of 10 starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Met inner;cleared;drvg. (4) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+2.18 per $2 over 47 starts; also profitable last year at +1.83) - the betting market underprices this barn. (5) 0 wins from post 3 in 3 recent starts. (6) Last race was career-best speed (84) — bounce risk after peak effort. (7) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 9.4 pts: [84, 79, 79, 64, 64]) — 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

✓ Positives:(1) Big last-race effort (87) — 22 pts above recent average. (2) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (3) Has won at PEN on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (4) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['L']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 188 days. (2) 0 wins from 6 career starts on off tracks. (3) Trip note from last race: Rail rally 1/8; clear. (4) Last race was career-best speed (87) — bounce risk after peak effort. (5) Stepping up to $40,000 — highest class level in last 10 starts (previous high: $25,000). (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 10.5 pts: [87, 58, 70, 68, 68]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($16,000 → $10,000). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (57%). (3) Strong trainer/jockey combo - 3 wins from 7 starts (43%). (4) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Has won at PEN on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (6) Career-best figure (77) buried in races 4–10 back — 11 pts above race median and 10 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'F', 'L', 'O', 'U']) 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) Trip note from last race: Lunged;5w off duel;bid.

(4) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (63%). (5) Track specialist — 2 wins from 6 starts here (33%). (6) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (7) Outstanding wet-track record: 1W from 4 starts (25%) — thrives when the going is off. (8) Has won at PEN on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (9) Trainer 'KULP BRANDON L' has 2 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now. (10) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'O', 'T', '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) Speed average (59) well below field median (66). (3) Trip note from last race: Dueled; took over turn. (4) Last race was career-best speed (69) — bounce risk after peak effort. (5) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 21.3 pts: [69, 20, 61, 62, 73]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Big last-race effort (75) — 15 pts above recent average. (2) Won last 2 consecutive starts. (3) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (4) Has won at PEN on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (5) 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 ($5,000 → $8,000). (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Speed average (60) well below field median (73). (4) Trip note from last race: Bmp st;3w;6w duel upr. (5) Last race was career-best speed (75) — bounce risk after peak effort. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 9.6 pts: [75, 66, 66, 49, 60]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) In the money in last 3 consecutive starts. (2) Track specialist — 5 wins from 16 starts here (31%). (3) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 90 vs field 85). (4) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Has won at PEN on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (6) Career-best figure (87) buried in races 4–10 back — 14 pts above race median and 9 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'F', 'O', 'S', 'T']) 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) 0 wins from 6 career starts on off tracks. (3) Trip note from last race: Bid btwn foes;weakened. (4) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.03 per $2 over 119 mounts) - the market underrates this rider. (5) No workout in last 30 days despite 20 days since last race.
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.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 40 days. (2) Rising in class today ($5,000 → $8,000). (3) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (7 of 10 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Mid mv;stdy1/8;held on. (5) Dropping in class in consecutive starts ($10,000 → $8,000 → $5,000). (6) Post 7 in a 10-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path.
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
- Total height = sum of E1 + E2 + LP average pace figures. Taller bars indicate a faster-paced horse overall.

- 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) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (2) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (3) Outstanding wet-track record: 1W from 4 starts (25%) — thrives when the going is off. (4) Carries 10 lbs less than field median (113 lbs vs median 123 lbs). (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'O', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (6) Averages 75.0 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 68.6 in other configs (3 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Trip note from last race: Outrun early; got 3d. (2) Outside post (8) in a large field of 10 horses. (3) No workout in last 30 days despite 19 days since last race. (4) Post 8 in a 10-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (5) First start at PEN — never raced here before (last seen at: MTH).

- 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.
Performance vs. Peers Guide
- 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.
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.

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. | |||||||
| 💡 Tote-board tip: the Live column updates automatically. Our longshots that take money at the track (live odds at or below the morning line) win about 4× as often as the ones drifting up in price — 10.2% vs 2.6% in our settled results, and 15.1% when heavily bet. Play these selections only when the board shows them holding or shortening from the morning line. | |||||||
