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 112-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Dropping in class today ($20,000 → $10,000). (3) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (50%). (4) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 90 vs field 83). (5) Dropping in class ($10,000 vs last $20,000) after a 112-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (6) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 8/10 — angles: Class Drop After Rest, Class Drop, Hot Trainer, Early Speed Edge.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 112 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) Unproven on dirt surface (2 starts). (5) Trip note from last race: Speed; faded. (6) Last race was career-best speed (54) — bounce risk after peak effort.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($15,000 → $10,000). (2) Speed average (56) well above field median (47). (3) Significantly better on off tracks (off: 62 vs fast: 50). (4) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (56%). (5) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (6) Dropping in class ($10,000 vs last $15,000) after a 32-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (7) Trainer 'LANDRY ALLEN RAY' has 2 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now. (8) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['F', 'L', 'O', 'S']) yet still finished 4th — 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, Off-Track Preference, Class Drop, Hot Trainer, Troubled Trip Comeback, Closer in Pace Duel, Stable on Fire.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 32 days. (2) Limited experience at today's distance (1 start). (3) Unproven on dirt surface (2 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Off slow;angl 4-5w. (5) Last race was career-best speed (62) — bounce risk after peak effort. (6) Post 7 in a 14-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($15,000 → $10,000). (2) Speed average (59) well above field median (47). (3) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 91 vs field 83). (4) Strong speed 2 back (65), modest dip last out (59) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (5) Dropping in class ($10,000 vs last $15,000) after a 32-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (6) Carries 5 lbs less than field median (117 lbs vs median 122 lbs). (7) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 9/10 — angles: Class Superiority, Class Drop After Rest, Class Drop, Early Speed Edge, Form Reversal, Weight Advantage.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 32 days. (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) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 6 recent starts). (5) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (4 of 6 starts). (6) Trip note from last race: Press 2w;weakened lane. (7) Outside post (9) in a large field of 14 horses. (8) Was the betting favorite in the last race but finished off the board. (9) Post 9 in a 14-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 = 8.2 pts: [59, 65, 65, 69, 48]) — unpredictable performer. (11) 0 wins from 6 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface. (12) First start at EVD — never raced here before (last seen at: FG).

(2) Has won at EVD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (3) Last race: surged from 5th at 1st call to 2rd/2nd at stretch but faded to 4th — hidden energy often signals next-race win. (4) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', 'O', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (5) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 5/10 — angles: Won Here Before, Troubled Trip Comeback, Won at This Distance, Middle Move Upside.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 47 days. (2) Repeatedly beaten at this class level (4 of last 5 starts). (3) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (4) 0 wins from 5 career starts on off tracks. (5) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (3 of 5 starts). (6) Trip note from last race: Railbid; outkicked. (7) Consistently runs wide at the first call (4 of last 5 starts). (8) Has not won in last 10 starts despite career wins. (9) No workout in last 30 days despite 47 days since last race.

⚠ 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) Speed average (50) well below field median (60). (4) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (2 of 3 starts). (5) Trip note from last race: Stp slw;trck 3w;tired. (6) Outside post (10) in a large field of 11 horses. (7) Post 10 in a 11-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path.

(9) Has won at today's distance (1210 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (10) Dropping in class ($10,000 vs last $15,000) after a 39-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (11) Has won at EVD on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (12) Career-best figure (82) buried in races 4–10 back — 19 pts above race median and 16 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (13) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'L', 'T', 'U', 'V']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (14) Averages 71.9 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 62.5 in other configs (8 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup. (15) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 10/10 — angles: Class Superiority, Class Drop After Rest, Won Here Before, Class Drop, Hot Trainer, Hot Jockey, Troubled Trip Comeback, Closer in Pace Duel, Won at This Distance, Hidden Figure, Return to Proven Setup, Late Kick Advantage, Sharp Workout Pattern.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 39 days. (2) Poor recent form - recent speed ratings well below career norm. (3) Trip note from last race: Trkd; mvd up; flatnd. (4) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 9.7 pts: [66, 63, 59, 77, 82]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($15,000 → $5,000). (2) Speed average (67) well above field median (61). (3) Equipment change today (code: 1). (4) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (38%). (5) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 77 vs field 70). (6) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (7) Strong speed 2 back (68), modest dip last out (60) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (8) Has won at today's distance (1540 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (9) Career-best figure (77) buried in races 4–10 back — 16 pts above race median and 9 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (10) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 10/10 — angles: Class Superiority, Class Drop, Hot Jockey, Closer in Pace Duel, Form Reversal, Won at This Distance, Hidden Figure, Late Kick Advantage, Equipment Change.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Trip note from last race: Ins;angl out;by faders. (2) 0 wins from post 7 in 4 recent starts. (3) No workout in last 30 days despite 21 days since last race. (4) Post 7 in a 14-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (5) First start at EVD — never raced here before (last seen at: FG, DED).

✓ Positives:(1) Speed average (67) well above field median (61). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (48%). (3) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 75 vs field 70). (4) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (5) Returning from 31-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (6) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'S', 'T', 'V']) 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: Class Superiority, Sharp Return Workout, Hot Trainer, Troubled Trip Comeback, Closer in Pace Duel, Late Kick Advantage.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 31 days. (2) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (3) 0 wins from 4 career starts on off tracks. (4) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (5) Trip note from last race: Rated ins; evenly. (6) Outside post (12) in a large field of 14 horses. (7) No workout in last 30 days despite 31 days since last race. (8) Post 12 in a 14-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path. (9) First start at EVD — never raced here before (last seen at: FG).

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($12,500 → $5,000). (2) Speed average (60) well above field median (52). (3) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (59%). (4) Equipment change today (code: 2). (5) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 68 vs field 60). (6) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (7) Career-best figure (76) buried in races 4–10 back — 24 pts above race median and 12 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (8) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 9/10 — angles: Class Superiority, Class Drop, Hot Trainer, Closer in Pace Duel, Hidden Figure, Late Kick Advantage, Equipment Change.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Finish positions worsening over last 4 starts. (2) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Sqzd st;no factor. (4) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.9 pts: [51, 64, 64, 76, 62]) — unpredictable performer. (5) First start at EVD — never raced here before (last seen at: FG).

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) Dropping in class today ($10,000 → $5,000). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (46%). (3) Career-best speed figure (64) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (4) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 84 vs field 76). (5) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 63 vs field 60). (6) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (7) Dropping in class ($5,000 vs last $10,000) after a 33-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (8) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 9/10 — angles: Class Drop After Rest, Career-Best Recent Figure, Class Drop, Hot Trainer, Early Speed Edge, Late Kick Advantage, Closer in Pace Duel.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 33 days. (2) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (2 of 3 starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Off slow;swung widest. (4) Consistently breaks behind post position (3 of last 5 starts). (5) Consistently runs wide at the first call (3 of last 5 starts). (6) No workout in last 30 days despite 33 days since last race. (7) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.6 pts: [50, 64, 62, 47, 46]) — unpredictable performer. (8) 0 wins from 6 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface. (9) First start at EVD — never raced here before (last seen at: FG).
