✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($15,000 → $8,000). (2) Career-best speed figure (66) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (44%). (4) Strong speed 2 back (66), modest dip last out (60) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (5) Consistent workout spacing (7, 7 days) — disciplined training regimen. (6) Has won at IND on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (7) 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) 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: Settled;bid6p1/4.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 66-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Big last-race effort (78) — 15 pts above recent average. (3) 3 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (4) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (5) Consistent workout spacing (7, 7 days) — disciplined training regimen. (6) Carries 10 lbs less than field median (112 lbs vs median 122 lbs). (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'S', 'U']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 66 days. (2) Consider there will be likely pace pressure in this race - multiple E types entered. (3) First time at today's distance. (4) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (5) Today's distance is shorter than any previous start. (6) 0 wins from 4 career starts on off tracks. (7) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 8 starts). (8) Trip note from last race: Shrd cmd; grudgingly. (9) Last race was career-best speed (78) — bounce risk after peak effort. (10) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 12.4 pts: [78, 59, 70, 61, 45]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (34%). (2) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 90 vs field 87). (3) Career-best figure (86) buried in races 4–10 back — 24 pts above race median and 19 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (4) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'L', 'O', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 6 recent starts). (2) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (4 of 6 starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Drew off;couldn't last. (4) No workout in last 30 days despite 23 days since last race. (5) 0 wins from 7 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ Positives:(1) Big last-race effort (67) — 11 pts above recent average. (2) Career-best figure (75) buried in races 4–10 back — 12 pts above race median and 6 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (3) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'O', 'S', 'V']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (4) Averages 67.8 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 53.7 in other configs (5 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 76 days. (2) Rising in class today ($10,000 → $30,000). (3) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 5 recent starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Ins winner;saved show. (5) Rising in class ($10,000 → $30,000) after finishing 3 last out — double negative. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 19.5 pts: [67, 69, 25, 73, 59]) — unpredictable performer. (7) 0 wins from 7 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface. (8) First start at IND — never raced here before (last seen at: TP).

⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 175 days. (2) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (3) Trip note from last race: Angld5p5/16;rallie;drv. (4) Consistently runs wide at the first call (3 of last 5 starts). (5) Last race was career-best speed (73) — bounce risk after peak effort. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 10.9 pts: [73, 70, 56, 48, 53]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (37%). (2) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 79 vs field 74). (3) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (4) Has won at today's distance (1760 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (5) Has won at IND on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (6) Last race: surged from 6th at 1st call to 3rd/2nd at stretch but faded to 4th — hidden energy often signals next-race win. (7) 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. (8) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'F', 'L', 'T']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Trip note from last race: 4path;bid5/16;faltered. (2) Consistently runs wide at the first call (3 of last 5 starts).

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (50%). (2) Big last-race effort (68) — 8 pts above recent average. (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (41%). (4) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 78 vs field 73). (5) Outstanding wet-track record: 1W from 4 starts (25%) — thrives when the going is off. (6) Has won at IND on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (7) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', '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) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 6 recent starts). (3) Trip note from last race: Settled;bid;2nd best.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 55-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Speed average (74) well above field median (68). (3) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (45%). (4) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (46%). (5) 3 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (6) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (7) Consistent workout spacing (8, 7 days) — disciplined training regimen. (8) Career-best figure (80) buried in races 4–10 back — 12 pts above race median and 8 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 55 days. (2) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 5 recent starts). (3) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (3 of 5 starts). (4) Trip note from last race: Traffic 5/16;no rally. (5) 0 wins from 7 starts on turf in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface. (6) First start at IND — never raced here before (last seen at: FG).

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (45%). (2) Big last-race effort (74) — 10 pts above recent average. (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (44%). (4) 6 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (5) Has a bullet work (fastest at track that day) — sharp conditioning signal. (6) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (7) Speed improved +5 pts then +13 pts in last 2 starts (56 → 61 → 74) — trainer is progressively building fitness. (8) Averages 72.0 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 58.5 in other configs (4 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (2) Trip note from last race: Stp slw;ins;traffc upr. (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) Last race was career-best speed (74) — bounce risk after peak effort. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.5 pts: [74, 61, 56, 74, 73]) — unpredictable performer. (7) First start at IND — never raced here before (last seen at: CD, IND). (8) Two consecutive 5+ pt speed jumps (56 → 61 → 74) and last race speed is well above career average (68) — high bounce risk after back-to-back peak efforts.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 77-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (44%). (3) 3 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (4) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 76 vs field 65). (5) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (6) Has won at today's distance (1760 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (7) Has won at IND on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (8) Career-best figure (68) buried in races 4–10 back — 10 pts above race median and 8 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 77 days. (2) Trip note from last race: Off slow;lag 3p;6p3/16. (3) Consistently breaks behind post position (5 of last 5 starts). (4) Consistently runs wide at the first call (5 of last 5 starts).

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($8,000 → $5,000). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (50%). (3) Career-best speed figure (60) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (4) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (41%). (5) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (6) Dropping in class ($5,000 vs last $8,000) after a 206-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (7) Returning from 206-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (8) Has won at IND on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 206 days. (2) Speed average (48) well below field median (58). (3) Limited experience at today's distance (2 starts). (4) Moving from a sprint to a route today. (5) Trip note from last race: Through early 5path. (6) Dropping in class in consecutive starts ($32,000 → $15,000 → $8,000). (7) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.2 pts: [41, 60, 42, 44, 53]) — unpredictable performer.

✓ Positives:(1) Dropping in class today ($7,500 → $5,000). (2) Speed average (65) well above field median (58). (3) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (49%). (4) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 72 vs field 65). (5) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (6) Has won at today's distance (1760 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (7) Dropping in class ($5,000 vs last $7,500) after a 71-day freshening — trainer setup-for-win angle. (8) Has won at IND on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (9) Career-best figure (72) buried in races 4–10 back — 14 pts above race median and 6 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 71 days. (2) Trip note from last race: Step slow st;4w;5p3/16. (3) Post 8 in a 8-horse dirt sprint — wide draw forces extra ground and a difficult first-turn path.

✓ Positives:(1) Returning from 175-day layoff with a recent workout. (2) Speed average (60) well above field median (44). (3) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (37%). (4) Career-best speed figure (67) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (5) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (41%). (6) 3 workouts in last 30 days — horse appears sharp and fit. (7) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 73 vs field 64). (8) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'L', 'O', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 2nd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Has not raced in 175 days. (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 8 recent starts). (5) Trip note from last race: Dueled;couldn't last.

- 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) Career-best speed figure (62) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (2) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (44%). (3) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (4) Consistent workout spacing (7, 7 days) — disciplined training regimen.
⚠ Concerns:(1) Moving from a sprint to a route today. (2) Unproven on turf surface (1 start). (3) Switching from dirt to turf today. (4) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (5) Trip note from last race: Bore out start;4path. (6) Consistently runs wide at the first call (3 of last 5 starts). (7) Outside post (10) in a large field of 10 horses. (8) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 10.4 pts: [39, 62, 43, 54, 38]) — unpredictable performer.

Track Bias by Lane — IND
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 — E · Lone early
Race Pace Bias Guide

- 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.

Race Pace Simulation
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.

Pick Pony Handicapper Report — Horseshoe Indianapolis, May 7, 2026
Partly cloudy with lingering moisture; dirt track likely “good” to “muddy,” turf soft. Rail compromised on both surfaces; middle posts favored on dirt, outside draws preferred on turf. Monitor late scratch-time surface changes, especially for Races 6 and 8.
Race 1 — 1100f | Dirt | Maiden Special Weight | 2:10 PM
Jack's Back (4) is the top selection from the most accomplished barn on the card, ideally drawn in a seven-horse maiden sprint. Tigrado (5) and Grandes Suenos (3) are the primary exacta partners, with Grandes Suenos (3) worth a small on-top play in case the stable's preference shifts.
Race 2 — 1320f | Dirt | Claiming $8,000 | 2:41 PM
Fervent Prayer (2) controls from a favorable post for the meet's most active trainer and is the clear single. Crab Crunch (5) and Goingscents (4) fill the exacta underneath, with House Of Gold (1) worth trifecta inclusion despite the compromised rail.
Race 3 — 1320f | Dirt | Maiden Claiming $30,000 | 3:12 PM
The Exodus Twist (2) edges Disappear (6) by virtue of the more favorable inside draw in a dual-favorite scenario — exacta box these two as the primary play. Long Acting (4) is the logical trifecta closer, and the McGuire double-entry of Chatterfield (3) and Thundertaker (5) offers modest overlay value at 8-1 and 10-1.
Race 4 — 1320f | Dirt | Allowance $43,000 | 3:43 PM
Smokinghot Justice (5) is the top choice from the most advantageous post in this fillies allowance, with Unbridled Sabbath (7) as the co-favorite to beat despite the outside draw. Gatling Girl (4) is the preferred secondary, and Prayer's Beauty (6) at 8-1 is the day's best longshot angle given the top jockey upgrade.
Race 5 — 1760f | Dirt | Allowance $38,000 | 4:14 PM
Tap Bonnet (3) is the card's most actionable single — the dominant trainer-jockey combination at 2-1 in a clean post for a well-placed filly. What About Now (5) and Innisfree Lass (2) complete the exacta coverage, with Amazingness (4) worth trifecta protection as the stablemate who benefits if the top horse encounters trouble.
Race 6 — 1760f | Turf | Maiden Special Weight (16 horses) | 4:45 PM
Ocean Ripple (7) is the day's best value at 5-1 — top jockey, ideal soft-turf draw, and a strong maiden turf barn make this the card's clearest overlay. Good Conduct (6) and Saravi (12) are the co-favorites from the dominant stable and belong in all tickets, with Miso Speedy (14) at 8-1 worth a small win bet for the prominent trainer connection on soft going.
Race 7 — 1760f | Dirt | Claiming $5,000 | 5:16 PM
Everlasting Spirit (6) is the single at 2-1 in the card's lowest claiming event, with Acousticat (8) as the primary closing threat from the outside. Daddys Dreamin (3) at 5-1 is the best value play in the race, and Crowned With Grace (2) at 20-1 earns a trifecta flier purely on the strength of the jockey upgrade.
Race 8 — 1760f | Turf | Maiden Special Weight | 5:47 PM
Pink Picture (3) is the morning-line choice with the top jockey from the dominant barn, making her the clear win selection. Our Lady Donna D (5) at 4-1 is the preferred stablemate for the exacta, and boxing all three Granitz entries — Pink Picture (3), Our Lady Donna D (5), Beautiful Ester (2) — in the trifecta is the structural exotic play of the day. Maximum Spirit (10) at 8-1 with a top jockey is the best non-Granitz option.
Race 9 — 250f | Dirt | Quarter Horse | Maiden Special Weight | 6:15 PM
Blood Worthee (7) at 3-1 is the top pick in this gate-speed event where traditional pace analysis does not apply. Box Blood Worthee (7), Ocean Master (10), and Lavish Sin Tacha (1) in the exacta, adding Political Victory (8) as the fourth leg of a superfecta box for the best cost-effective coverage of this unpredictable sprint.
