✓ Positives:(1) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (49%). (2) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 91 vs field 86). (3) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D']) 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) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 7 recent starts). (3) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 7 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: 3-w; weakened. (5) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.10 per $2 over 407 mounts) - the market underrates this rider. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.2 pts: [49, 60, 67, 47, 58]) — unpredictable performer. (7) 0 wins from 7 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

- 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) Dropping in class today ($25,000 → $15,000). (2) Speed average (64) well above field median (56). (3) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 76 vs field 66). (4) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 6 recent starts). (2) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 6 starts). (3) Trip note from last race: 4w;belated interest. (4) Consistently breaks behind post position (4 of last 5 starts). (5) Consistently runs wide at the first call (4 of last 5 starts). (6) 0 wins from post 1 in 3 recent starts. (7) No workout in last 30 days despite 20 days since last race. (8) 0 wins from 6 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Career-best speed figure (51) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (2) Trainer 'LUCARELLI FRANK' has 2 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now. (3) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'L', 'O', 'S']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Trip note from last race: Brk in;no closing kick. (2) 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.
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.
- 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.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($25,000 → $15,000). (2) Strong trainer/jockey combo - 6 wins from 21 starts (29%). (3) Career-best speed figure (89) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (4) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (49%). (5) Track specialist — 4 wins from 12 starts here (33%). (6) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (7) Dropping in class ($15,000 vs last $25,000) after a 35-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (8) Has won at EMD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 35 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) Trip note from last race: Prominent; tired. (4) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.10 per $2 over 407 mounts) - the market underrates this rider. (5) No workout in last 30 days despite 35 days since last race.

(8) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', 'S', 'T']) 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) Trip note from last race: Stalkd;3w bid;clr;held. (3) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.11 per $2 over 80 starts; also profitable last year at +0.34) - the betting market underprices this barn. (4) No workout in last 30 days despite 20 days since last race. (5) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.1 pts: [82, 85, 87, 76, 67]) — 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) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (49%). (2) In the money in last 3 consecutive starts. (3) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 87 vs field 81). (4) Has won at today's distance (1760 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Has won at EMD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (6) Speed improved +5 pts then +6 pts in last 2 starts (63 → 68 → 74) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', '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) Limited experience at today's distance (1 start). (3) Trip note from last race: Vied; drew clear. (4) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.10 per $2 over 407 mounts) - the market underrates this rider. (5) Two consecutive 5+ pt speed jumps (63 → 68 → 74) and last race speed is well above career average (66) — high bounce risk after back-to-back peak efforts.

(4) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (5) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (6) Has won at EMD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (7) Career-best figure (76) buried in races 4–10 back — 19 pts above race median and 13 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (8) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 4/10 — angles: Paying Partnership, Profitable Barn.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Was claimed from its most recent race - new connections. (2) Trip note from last race: Outsde;nothing for str. (3) Consistently breaks behind post position (3 of last 5 starts). (4) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.77 per $2 over 146 starts) - the betting market underprices this barn. (5) Trainer/jockey pairing is flat-bet PROFITABLE (+0.27 per $2 over 26 starts together) - a paying partnership the odds don't reflect. (6) 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.
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

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.

(4) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'T', 'V']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (5) Cutting back to sprint (1320 yds) from routes — sprint speed figures (55.0) are 8.9 pts better than route figures (46.1). (6) Averages 61.6 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 53.5 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) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (3) Trip note from last race: Vied; tired. (4) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 11.0 pts: [43, 64, 63, 47, 67]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (62%). (2) Strong trainer/jockey combo - 10 wins from 33 starts (30%). (3) Big last-race effort (63) — 12 pts above recent average. (4) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (46%). (5) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 91 vs field 87). (6) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (7) Has won at EMD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (8) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'S', 'T']) 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) Trip note from last race: Set pace; widened. (3) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.28 per $2 over 69 starts) - the betting market underprices this barn. (4) Last race was career-best speed (63) — bounce risk after peak effort. (5) No workout in last 30 days despite 22 days since last race. (6) Post 8 in a 9-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($8,000 → $5,000). (2) Speed average (66) well above field median (57). (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (49%). (4) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 90 vs field 87). (5) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 71 vs field 65). (6) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (7) Has won at EMD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (8) Trainer 'ESSEX CHARLES' has 3 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now. (9) Career-best figure (76) buried in races 4–10 back — 19 pts above race median and 14 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (10) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 2nd — 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) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (6 of 10 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Set pace; held 2nd. (5) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.10 per $2 over 407 mounts) - the market underrates this rider. (6) Post 9 in a 9-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 = 8.6 pts: [62, 62, 60, 76, 52]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 49-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Has a bullet work (fastest at track that day) — sharp conditioning signal. (3) Returning from 49-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (4) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['L', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 49 days. (2) Speed average (68) well below field median (73). (3) Limited experience at today's distance (2 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Caught late. (5) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+1.22 per $2 over 96 starts) - the betting market underprices this barn. (6) Dropping in class in consecutive starts ($12,500 → $10,000 → $8,000). (7) First start at EMD — never raced here before (last seen at: WYO, TUP).

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (62%). (2) Big last-race effort (83) — 14 pts above recent average. (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (49%). (4) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['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) Limited experience at today's distance (2 starts). (3) Moving from a sprint to a route today. (4) Trip note from last race: 2-w; strong finish. (5) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.10 per $2 over 407 mounts) - the market underrates this rider. (6) Last race was career-best speed (83) — bounce risk after peak effort. (7) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 10.3 pts: [83, 57, 75, 75, 81]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (51%). (2) Big last-race effort (73) — 14 pts above recent average. (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 EMD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (6) Career-best figure (78) buried in races 4–10 back — 8 pts above race median and 5 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 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) Speed average (64) well below field median (70). (3) Trip note from last race: 3w;idled uppr;late bid. (4) No workout in last 30 days despite 21 days since last race. (5) Dropping in class in consecutive starts ($40,000 → $25,000 → $15,000).

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (49%). (2) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (3) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (4) Has won at EMD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'L', 'O', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) 0 wins from 5 career starts on off tracks. (2) Trip note from last race: Closer 4w; flattened. (3) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.70 per $2 over 35 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.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 48-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Strong trainer/jockey combo - 9 wins from 29 starts (31%). (3) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 92 vs field 85). (4) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Returning from 48-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (6) Has won at EMD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'V']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 48 days. (2) Rising in class today ($10,000 → $15,000). (3) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (4) Limited experience at today's distance (2 starts). (5) Unproven on dirt surface (2 starts). (6) Trip note from last race: Vied; drew clear. (7) Trainer/jockey pairing is flat-bet PROFITABLE (+0.65 per $2 over 29 starts together) - a paying partnership the odds don't reflect. (8) Last race was career-best speed (85) — bounce risk after peak effort.

(4) Has won at today's distance (1320 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Outstanding wet-track record: 2W from 8 starts (25%) — thrives when the going is off. (6) Has won at EMD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'S', 'T']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Rising in class today ($5,000 → $8,000). (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) Trip note from last race: 3-w bid; 2nd best. (5) Jockey is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.10 per $2 over 407 mounts) - the market underrates this rider. (6) No workout in last 30 days despite 29 days since last race. (7) Stepping up to $8,000 — highest class level in last 10 starts (previous high: $6,250).
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) Strong trainer/jockey combo - 8 wins from 29 starts (28%). (2) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (3) Strong speed 2 back (81), modest dip last out (74) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (4) Has won at today's distance (1760 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Has won at EMD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (6) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (7) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 4/10 — angles: Paying Partnership, Profitable Barn.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Trip note from last race: 3-w; drew clear. (2) Consistently breaks behind post position (3 of last 5 starts). (3) Trainer is flat-bet PROFITABLE this year (+0.36 per $2 over 52 starts) - the betting market underprices this barn. (4) Trainer/jockey pairing is flat-bet PROFITABLE (+0.49 per $2 over 29 starts together) - a paying partnership the odds don't reflect.

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) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (47%). (2) Career-best speed figure (80) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (3) Track specialist — 3 wins from 7 starts here (43%). (4) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 86 vs field 78). (5) Has won at today's distance (1760 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (6) Has won at EMD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (7) Last race E1 pace (95.0) was 9.3 pts above personal avg (85.7) and horse still finished 6th — 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) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (5 of 8 starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Set pace; tired.
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.
- 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.

Emerald Downs — August 22, 2026 — Quick Reference Card
Fast track expected all day with a modest inside bias in sprints; pace scenarios and double-entry barn angles are the primary handicapping edges throughout the card.
Race 1
Belle Of Edmonds (4) is the clear top choice with tactical speed and top connections, though the 1-1 price demands exotic play rather than straight win betting. Carita Linda (1) is the main challenger from the inside post, with Little Minnie Mo (3) the best stalker to include underneath. Watch Stealin Stuff (5) for tote drift as the secondary barn entry.
Race 2
Haka (1) gets the rail and the card's busiest jockey in a co-favorite matchup at seven furlongs. Livin Right (5) is the most interesting exacta play underneath, with Cozumel (2) rounding out the top three. Coyote Time (3) at 4-1 is worth a small trifecta inclusion if the co-favorites engage each other too aggressively early.
Race 3
Start Dreamin (1) is the horse to beat from the rail in the card's richest maiden event, with Make Mo Mine (2) the logical stalker from post two. Parade Of Dreams (5) and Kingstown Mayor (3) are both legitimate at 4-1, and Eileen (6) at 8-1 is worth a small bomb play underneath if tote action favors her stablemate Parade Of Dreams (5).
Race 4
Good Focus (3) tops a competitive six-furlong claiming field from a favorable post, with Goin' South (2) the pace-stalking second choice. West Coast Bull (4) brings top-barn credentials at 4-1, and A View From Above (5) deserves a look if tote movement suggests it is the Silva-Martinez A-runner over Goin' South (2).
Race 5
Aloha Chrome (7) is the top selection despite the wide draw, with Go Lent Go (3) the key second choice from a much friendlier post. Fix It Quick (5) must be boxed with Aloha Chrome (7) as the Rodriguez barn's second entry, and Fruit Lutes (4) at 5-1 is the best independent longshot in the race.
Race 6
Mamarando (7) at 5-1 is the best standalone value play on the card, attacking the 2-1 morning-line choice Dixie's Delight (9) who draws post nine in a nine-horse sprint. Run On Om (1) from the rail is the other primary alternative, with Our Hula Girl (8) and Lotsa Kitty (5) worth trifecta consideration in a wide-open bottom half.
Race 7
Gi Gis Map (6) is the top selection in the day's lone allowance, with the double-entry stablemate Bangie Go (1) likely setting the pace and potentially filling the exacta slot. Charmz (2) and Above Average (3) are the main outside threats at 4-1, and Exington (5) at 8-1 is a live bomb if the pace collapses early.
Race 8
Stratojet (5) is a clear top choice at 2-1 with Now Cato (1) the natural exacta partner from the rail. Coastal Journey (2) and Glorious Run (3) round out the trifecta, and Kris's Gold (4) at 8-1 is worth a small play if tote action shows support.
Race 9
Bluegrass Go Go (5) is the primary selection in the elevated-purse $8,000 claimer, with Baladi (2) and Roll Dem Bones (3) as the core exacta and trifecta partners. D K's Crown (7) at 6-1 and Hadlees Honor (6) at 12-1 are the best longshot inclusions underneath in a race where the big purse could inflate exotic payouts significantly.
Race 10
Upstart Yankee (2) tops the card closer with Prowling Cat (6) and Time Ticker (4) both representing the live Rosales double-entry angle at 4-1. Dekudylan (5) is the best independent third choice, and the Rosales pair should be boxed together as a minimum exacta play in a wide-open nine-horse mile.
