✓ Positives:(1) Speed average (72) well above field median (65). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (57%). (3) Strong speed 2 back (82), modest dip last out (70) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (4) Carries 5 lbs less than field median (119 lbs vs median 124 lbs). (5) Last race: surged from 6th at 1st call to 2rd/2nd at stretch but faded to 4th — hidden energy often signals next-race win. (6) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'L', 'T', 'V']) 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) 0 wins from 10 career starts on off tracks.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (54%). (2) Career-best speed figure (71) recorded in last 1-2 starts — peaking form. (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (48%). (4) Trainer 'RIVERA NESTOR R' has 3 horses in today's card all showing last-race improvement — barn appears sharp right now. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'F', 'O', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (6) Averages 65.2 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 60.0 in other configs (4 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Moving from a route to a sprint today. (2) 0 wins from 12 career starts on off tracks. (3) Poor record at this distance (0 wins from 4 recent starts). (4) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 6 starts). (5) Trip note from last race: Brk out;bmp;3deep;fade. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.4 pts: [68, 71, 51, 68, 71]) — unpredictable performer. (7) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 8/10 — angles: Career-Best Recent Figure, Return to Proven Setup, Stable on Fire, Hot Trainer, Troubled Trip Comeback, Hot Jockey.

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) Significantly better on off tracks (off: 78 vs fast: 48). (2) Equipment change today (code: 1). (3) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (53%). (4) Track specialist — 3 wins from 8 starts here (38%). (5) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 83 vs field 74). (6) Closer/presser in a race with pace pressure — ideal race setup for late runners. (7) Has won at today's distance (1760 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (8) Has won at MVR on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (9) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'L', 'V']) yet still finished 3rd — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Trip note from last race: Idle 3-1/2;bid bw;evn. (2) Consistently runs wide at the first call (3 of last 5 starts). (3) Last race was career-best speed (78) — bounce risk after peak effort. (4) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 8/10 — angles: Off-Track Preference, Closer in Pace Duel, Late Kick Advantage, Troubled Trip Comeback, Hot Jockey, Won Here Before, Won at This Distance, Track Specialist, Equipment Change.

✓ Positives:(1) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (57%). (2) Early pace significantly above field median (E1: 90 vs field 82). (3) Strong speed 2 back (78), modest dip last out (73) — form reversal angle, ready to bounce back to top form. (4) Career-best figure (84) buried in races 4–10 back — 13 pts above race median and 6 pts above recent form — market has forgotten the peak effort. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', '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) Moving from a sprint to a route today. (3) Poor record at this track (0 wins from 9 starts). (4) Tends to fade in the stretch at similar distances (2 of 3 starts). (5) Trip note from last race: Set pace; weakened. (6) Was the betting favorite in the last race but finished off the board. (7) Has not won in last 10 starts despite career wins. (8) No workout in last 30 days despite 26 days since last race. (9) 0 wins from 10 starts on dirt in last 10 — repeated failure on today's surface.

✓ 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) Has won at MVR on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (5) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['B', 'D', 'S', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 4th — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal. (6) Averages 56.9 speed pts in today's distance/surface configuration vs 49.7 in other configs (7 qualifying starts) — returning to ideal setup.

⚠ Concerns:(1) Trip note from last race: Bmp;sqzd st;4w;churn. (2) Consistently runs wide at the first call (3 of last 5 starts). (3) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 10.5 pts: [59, 55, 63, 38, 44]) — unpredictable performer. (4) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 6/10 — angles: Return to Proven Setup, Closer in Pace Duel, Troubled Trip Comeback, Won Here Before, Won at This Distance, Off-Track Ace.

AI Performances Chart

AI Speed AI Opponent Performance Trend

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) Speed average (78) well above field median (70). (2) Hot trainer - high ITM rate (57%). (3) Strong trainer/jockey combo - 15 wins from 41 starts (37%). (4) Big last-race effort (86) — 14 pts above recent average. (5) Hot jockey — high ITM rate (58%). (6) In the money in last 3 consecutive starts. (7) Track specialist — 4 wins from 8 starts here (50%). (8) Late pace significantly above field median (LP: 84 vs field 78). (9) Has won at today's distance (1760 yds) within the last 10 starts — proven ability at this trip. (10) Outstanding wet-track record: 4W from 11 starts (36%) — thrives when the going is off. (11) Returning from 35-day layoff with a bullet workout — trainer signaling extra readiness for today's spot. (12) Has won at MVR on dirt in the last 10 starts — proven at today's exact track/surface combo. (13) Had documented trouble last race (codes: ['D', 'F', 'L', 'O', 'T', 'U']) yet still finished 1st — a clean trip today sets up a form reversal.

⚠ 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: Unchallenged;drift out. (4) Last race was career-best speed (86) — bounce risk after peak effort. (5) No workout in last 30 days despite 35 days since last race. (6) Speed figures are highly erratic over last 5 starts (σ = 8.7 pts: [86, 75, 78, 64, 84]) — unpredictable performer. (7) Pick Pony Daily Edge Radar pick — value score 10/10 — angles: Class Superiority, Big Last Effort, Consistent In-The-Money, Hot Trainer-Jockey Pairing, Off-Track Ace, Hot Trainer, Troubled Trip Comeback, Won Here Before, Hot Jockey, Track Specialist, Late Kick Advantage, Won at This Distance, Sharp Return Workout.

LGBM: 100 (1/6) CatBoost: 100 (1/6) XGB: 100 (1/6) LGBM-LS: 100 (1/6) CatBoost-LS: 100 (1/6) XGB-LS: 86 (2/6) Win Prob: 75.3% Value Score: 2.84 ★ ML: 2.00 (9/5) Overlay %: -7.69 Fair Odds: 4.30 (7/2) O/U: Underlay

Score Definitions

LGBM: LightGBM model score (0–100) — machine-learning 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.
CatBoost: CatBoost model score (0–100) — gradient boosting rating among field contenders (higher = stronger). The number in parentheses shows rank within the field.
XGB: XGBoost model score (0–100) — ensemble gradient boosting rating among field contenders (higher = stronger). The number in parentheses shows rank within the field.
LGBM-LS: LightGBM Longshot ranker (0–100) — trained with odds-weighted samples that upweight longshot winners. Higher = stronger longshot profile. Rank in parentheses shows position within the field.
CatBoost-LS: CatBoost Longshot ranker (0–100) — equivalent longshot model using CatBoost. Higher = stronger longshot profile.
XGB-LS: XGBoost Longshot ranker (0–100) — equivalent longshot model using XGBoost. 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

Track Bias by Lane — MVR

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

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 — MVR

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.

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.
