✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($7,500 → $5,000). (2) Speed average (80) well above field median (63). (3) In the money in last 5 consecutive starts. (4) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (6) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 9/10 — angles: Class Superiority, Consistent In-The-Money, Closer in Pace Duel, Class Drop, Troubled Trip Comeback.
⚠ Concerns:(1) First time at today's distance. (2) Today's distance is longer than any previous start. (3) Trip note from last race: Chased; 2nd best. (4) Has not won in last 10 starts despite career wins. (5) No workout in last 30 days despite 22 days since last race. (6) 0 wins from 10 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($7,500 → $5,000). (2) Speed average (81) well above field median (63). (3) Big last-race effort (86) — 13 pts above recent average. (4) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (5) Dropping in class ($5,000 vs last $7,500) after a 324-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (6) Trainer 'DEHERRERA JOSE IGNACIO' has 2 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now. (7) Career-best figure (101) buried in races 4–10 back — 38 pts above race median and 15 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (8) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (9) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 10/10 — angles: Class Superiority, Class Drop After Rest, Big Last Effort, Closer in Pace Duel, Hidden Figure, Class Drop, Troubled Trip Comeback, Stable on Fire.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 324 days. (2) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (2 of 3 starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Speed;clear;caught. (4) Has not won in last 10 starts despite career wins. (5) No workout in last 30 days despite 324 days since last race. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 11.7 pts: [86, 61, 81, 78, 92]) — unpredictable performer. (7) 0 wins from 10 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

(5) Career-best figure (76) buried in races 4–10 back — 13 pts above race median and 6 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (6) Averages 67.8 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 46.0 in other configs (4 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup. (7) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 7/10 — angles: Form Surge, Hidden Figure, Return to Proven Setup, Hot Jockey, Stable on Fire, Classic Fourth Race Pattern.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) Speed average (57) well below field median (63). (3) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Steadied; no threat. (5) Last race was career-best speed (70) — bounce risk after peak effort. (6) No workout in last 30 days despite 23 days since last race. (7) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 11.2 pts: [70, 64, 51, 76, 51]) — unpredictable performer. (8) Two consecutive 5+ pt speed jumps (51 → 64 → 70) and last race speed is well above career average (57) — 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) Fourth race back from a 48-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (3) Has won at today's distance (870 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (4) Has won at SRP on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (5) Career-best figure (84) buried in races 4–10 back — 21 pts above race median and 9 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (6) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 7/10 — angles: Won at This Distance, Closer in Pace Duel, Hidden Figure, Won Here Before, Classic Fourth Race Pattern.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Trip note from last race: Crowded st;widest 3/16. (2) Outside post (10) in a large field of 10 horses. (3) Post 10 in a 10-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path.

✓ Positives:(1) Big last-race effort (88) — 9 pts above recent average. (2) Returning from 43-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (3) Speed improved +7 pts then +5 pts in last 2 starts (76 → 83 → 88) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (4) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (5) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 7/10 — angles: Form Surge, Big Last Effort, Troubled Trip Comeback, Sharp Return Workout.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 43 days. (2) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 6 recent starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Chased;gaining late. (4) No workout in last 30 days despite 43 days since last race. (5) 0 wins from 6 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface. (6) First start at SRP — never raced here before (last seen at: SUN, ZIA, LS). (7) Two consecutive 5+ pt speed jumps (76 → 83 → 88) and last race speed is well above career average (78) — high bounce risk after back-to-back peak efforts.

✓ Positives:(1) Big last-race effort (91) — 11 pts above recent average. (2) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'O', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (3) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 5/10 — angles: Big Last Effort, Troubled Trip Comeback.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 43 days. (2) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 9 recent starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Closed late;held 3rd. (4) No workout in last 30 days despite 43 days since last race. (5) Post 9 in a 9-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (6) 0 wins from 9 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Speed average (76) well above field median (62). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (39%). (3) Fourth race back from a 55-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (4) Dropping in class ($12,500 vs last $15,000) after a 44-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (5) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 8/10 — angles: Class Superiority, Class Drop After Rest, Hot Trainer, Classic Fourth Race Pattern.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 44 days. (2) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Stp slw;crowded early. (4) No workout in last 30 days despite 44 days since last race. (5) First start at SRP — never raced here before (last seen at: SUN, ZIA).

✓ Positives:(1) Speed average (68) well above field median (62). (2) Fourth race back from a 47-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (3) Dropping in class ($12,500 vs last $20,000) after a 44-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (4) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 7/10 — angles: Class Superiority, Class Drop After Rest, Classic Fourth Race Pattern.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 44 days. (2) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 6 recent starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Hopped st;no rally. (4) Outside post (9) in a large field of 12 horses. (5) No workout in last 30 days despite 44 days since last race. (6) Post 9 in a 12-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (7) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 15.4 pts: [72, 75, 89, 50, 57]) — unpredictable performer. (8) 0 wins from 6 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Speed average (70) well above field median (57). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (43%). (3) Career-best speed figure (68) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (4) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (47%). (5) In the money in last 5 consecutive starts. (6) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 76 vs field 66). (7) Fourth race back from a 167-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (8) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'S']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (9) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 10/10 — angles: Class Superiority, Career-Best Recent Figure, Consistent In-The-Money, Late Kick Advantage, Troubled Trip Comeback, Hot Trainer, Hot Jockey, Classic Fourth Race Pattern.
⚠ 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 4 recent starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Pace ins;yielded. (4) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.8 pts: [65, 86, 68, 66, 67]) — unpredictable performer. (5) 0 wins from 5 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface. (6) First start at SRP — never raced here before (last seen at: SUN, ALB).

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 344-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Dropping in class today ($7,500 → $5,000). (3) Has a bullet work (fastest at track that day) — sharp conditioning signal. (4) Has won at today's distance (990 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Dropping in class ($5,000 vs last $7,500) after a 344-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (6) Returning from 344-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (7) Career-best figure (91) buried in races 4–10 back — 24 pts above race median and 28 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (8) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'L', 'O', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (9) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 9/10 — angles: Class Drop After Rest, Won at This Distance, Hidden Figure, Class Drop, Troubled Trip Comeback, Bullet Workout, Sharp Return Workout.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 344 days. (2) Poor recent form - recent speed ratings well below career norm. (3) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (4) Trip note from last race: Duel ins; outfinished.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (64%). (2) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (42%). (3) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 81 vs field 77). (4) Career-best figure (79) buried in races 4–10 back — 11 pts above race median and 7 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'L', 'U']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (6) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 6/10 — angles: Hidden Figure, Late Kick Advantage, Troubled Trip Comeback, Hot Trainer, Hot Jockey.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Repeatedly beaten at this class level (3 of last 5 starts). (2) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 10 recent starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Lagged;6wd upr;fin wll. (4) 0 wins from 9 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface. (5) First start at SRP — never raced here before (last seen at: TUP).

✓ Positives:(1) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (42%). (2) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 85 vs field 80). (3) Fourth race back from a 130-day layoff — often the peak fitness race. (4) Has won at today's distance (1540 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Career-best figure (80) buried in races 4–10 back — 12 pts above race median and 12 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (6) Averages 72.7 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 64.8 in other configs (6 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup. (7) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 6/10 — angles: Won at This Distance, Hidden Figure, Return to Proven Setup, Hot Jockey, Early Speed Edge, Classic Fourth Race Pattern.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 41 days. (2) Trip note from last race: Bt slw;stalk ins;tired. (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) 0 wins from post 3 in 4 recent starts. (6) First start at SRP — never raced here before (last seen at: SUN, ALB).

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (64%). (2) Strong speed 2 back (66), modest dip last out (57) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (3) Career-best figure (72) buried in races 4–10 back — 16 pts above race median and 6 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (4) Averages 62.2 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 52.0 in other configs (4 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup. (5) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 7/10 — angles: Hidden Figure, Hot Trainer, Return to Proven Setup, Form Reversal.
⚠ 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 5 recent starts). (4) Trip note from last race: 4-w; no factor. (5) Post 7 in a 9-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (6) First start at SRP — never raced here before (last seen at: TUP).

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($7,500 → $5,000). (2) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 78 vs field 75). (3) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (4) Has won at today's distance (1430 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Career-best figure (78) buried in races 4–10 back — 9 pts above race median and 5 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (6) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 6/10 — angles: Won at This Distance, Closer in Pace Duel, Hidden Figure, Late Kick Advantage, Class Drop.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Trip note from last race: Inside;no late kick. (2) First start at SRP — never raced here before (last seen at: SUN).

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($7,500 → $5,000). (2) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 87 vs field 83). (3) Career-best figure (98) buried in races 4–10 back — 29 pts above race median and 29 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (4) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 6/10 — angles: Hidden Figure, Class Drop, Early Speed Edge.
⚠ 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 6 recent starts). (3) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (5 of 6 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Press 2wd;gave way. (5) Has not won in last 10 starts despite career wins. (6) Post 7 in a 12-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (7) 0 wins from 10 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($7,500 → $5,000). (2) Big last-race effort (71) — 8 pts above recent average. (3) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 87 vs field 83). (4) Has won at today's distance (1430 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Speed improved +8 pts then +7 pts in last 2 starts (56 → 64 → 71) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (6) Averages 65.3 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 53.7 in other configs (7 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup. (7) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 8/10 — angles: Form Surge, Big Last Effort, Won at This Distance, Class Drop, Return to Proven Setup, Early Speed Edge.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) Speed average (62) well below field median (69). (3) Trip note from last race: Duel;3p;traffic lt;wkn. (4) Outside post (9) in a large field of 12 horses. (5) No workout in last 30 days despite 27 days since last race. (6) Post 9 in a 12-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (7) Two consecutive 5+ pt speed jumps (56 → 64 → 71) and last race speed is well above career average (62) — high bounce risk after back-to-back peak efforts.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($7,500 → $5,000). (2) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (3) Dropping in class ($5,000 vs last $7,500) after a 35-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (4) Outstanding wet-track record: 2W from 4 starts (50%) — thrives when the going is off. (5) Returning from 35-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (6) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'L', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (7) Cutting back to sprint (1430 yds) from routes — sprint speed figures (47.8) are 6.3 pts better than route figures (41.5). (8) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 8/10 — angles: Class Drop After Rest, Closer in Pace Duel, Class Drop, Troubled Trip Comeback, Off-Track Ace, Distance Cutback, Sharp Return Workout.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 35 days. (2) Speed average (61) well below field median (69). (3) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (4) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 8 recent starts). (5) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 5 starts). (6) Trip note from last race: Stlkd; led; faded. (7) Outside post (10) in a large field of 12 horses. (8) No workout in last 30 days despite 35 days since last race. (9) Post 10 in a 12-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (10) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 9.0 pts: [68, 71, 49, 63, 56]) — unpredictable performer. (11) 0 wins from 10 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

Chart Guide (2.0.35)
- 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) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (54%). (2) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (42%). (3) In the money in last 6 consecutive starts. (4) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 78 vs field 75). (5) Has won at today's distance (1430 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (6) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'O', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (7) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 9/10 — angles: Consistent In-The-Money, Won at This Distance, Late Kick Advantage, Troubled Trip Comeback, Hot Trainer, Hot Jockey.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (2) Trip note from last race: Traffic 1/4;outkicked. (3) Outside post (11) in a large field of 12 horses. (4) Post 11 in a 12-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path.

Score Definitions
- Mod1(W)
- Winner Model 1 score (0–100) — AI composite rating among field contenders (higher = stronger). The number in parentheses (e.g. 1/9) shows this horse’s rank out of the field size.
- Mod2(W)
- Winner Model 2 score (0–100) — AI rating among field contenders (higher = stronger). The number in parentheses shows rank within the field.
- Mod3(W)
- Winner Model 3 score (0–100) — AI rating among field contenders (higher = stronger). The number in parentheses shows rank within the field.
- Mod1-LS
- Longshot Model 1 score (0–100) — AI model trained to surface high-value longshots. Higher = stronger longshot profile. Rank in parentheses shows position within the field.
- Mod2-LS
- Longshot Model 2 score (0–100) — AI longshot model. Higher = stronger longshot profile.
- Mod3-LS
- Longshot Model 3 score (0–100) — AI longshot model. Higher = stronger longshot profile.
- Win Prob
- LightGBM estimated win probability expressed as a percentage. This is a raw model output, not normalized to sum to 100% across the field — use it for comparison rather than as an absolute probability.
- Value Score
- Win Prob divided by the market-implied probability (derived from morning line). Values above 1.0 mean the model sees more win chance than the odds imply — a ★ star appears when Value Score ≥ 1.3, indicating a 30%+ model edge over the market.
- ML
- Morning line odds set by the track handicapper before wagering opens
- Overlay %
- How much the fair odds exceed the morning line, expressed as a percentage — positive values indicate value
- Fair Odds
- Model-derived fair-value odds based on estimated win probability
- O/U
- Overlay or Underlay — whether the horse offers value (O) or is overbet (U) relative to fair odds
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

- 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
