• Runners: Number of horses in the race
• Random: The win probability if you picked a horse at random (100% ÷ number of runners). Useful for comparing against actual Win % values

Top Pick

Shows the highest-rated runner with their connection strength and field quality summary.

Runner Columns Explained

• Rank: Position based on combined Score (1 = highest rated)
• # (Draw): Stall number
• DR: Draw position
• Horse: Horse name and age - click to open horse profile
• H: Horse's own rating (standalone form indicator, not included in Score)
• HP: High Performer dots - filled dots indicate connections rated 1550+ (high performers)
• Score: Combined weighted rating from all 6 connections
• Win%: Estimated win probability based on Score relative to the field
• Price columns (EVE, BKF, MORN): Evening, bookmaker, and morning prices
• Trainer, Jockey, Owner: Connection names - click any to open their profile
• O, S, D, DS: Individual ratings for Owner, Sire, Dam, and Damsire

HP (High Performer) Dots

The HP column shows 6 dots representing the 6 connections (Owner, Trainer, Jockey, Dam, Sire, Damsire). A filled/coloured dot means that connection has a rating of 1550 or above (high performer status). More filled dots suggest stronger overall connections.

Row Colour Coding

Rows are colour-coded based on the runner's combined Score:

• Elite - Score 1600+ (green tint)
• Strong - Score 1550-1599 (blue tint)
• Avg - Score around 1500 (no tint)
• Below - Score 1450-1499 (amber tint)
• Weak - Score below 1450 (red tint)

Win % (Win Probability)

The Win % shows each runner's estimated chance of winning based on their combined Score compared to all other runners in the race. Higher-rated runners receive a higher probability. All Win % values in a race sum to 100%.

Combined Score Calculation

The Score column is a weighted average of 6 connection ratings:

• Owner: 20%
• Trainer: 20%
• Jockey: 20%
• Dam: 18%
• Sire: 12%
• Damsire: 10%

These weights reflect the predictive power of each connection based on historical data analysis.

Note: The Horse's own rating (H column) is displayed separately as a standalone form indicator and is not included in the combined Score calculation.

Clickable Links

Most names on the racecard are clickable links that open profile pages:

• Horse names → Horse profile
• Trainer names → Trainer profile
• Jockey names → Jockey profile
• Owner names → Owner profile

Pattern Alerts

If you've saved patterns in the Pattern Manager, matching runners will be highlighted on the racecard with purple pattern badges. Click a badge to expand and see the pattern details including historical stats and P/L.

The Sectionals feature provides comprehensive race sectional data visualization, showing detailed timing, speed, and position data for each horse at every furlong marker throughout a race.

Access Requirements

• Requires Platinum subscription plus the Sectionals Add On
• Access from the racecard page via the "Sectionals" button (appears for races with available data)

Sectionals Tabs Overview

Sectionals includes 13 analysis tabs, each providing a different view of race performance:

1. Times Tab

• Shows time (in seconds) for each furlong section
• Par times displayed in header row

11. Upgrades Tab

• Flags potential rating improvements
• Total column shows count of upgrades across sections

12. Running Style Tab

Classification of racing style based on positional data:

• Held Up: Stays back most of race
• Mid-Division: Middle of the field
• Closer: Starts back, finishes strong
• Stalker: Mid-pack early, improves late
• Prominent: Near front but not leading
• Front Runner: Starts and stays near front

Includes position movement table showing Start/Mid/Finish positions with Gained/Lost column.

13. Replay Tab

• Animated visualization of the race

Horse Color Dots

All tabs include colored dots next to horse names that match the chart line colors, making it easy to identify each horse's data in both the grid and chart views.

Section Highlighting

Click on any column header to highlight that section across all tabs, making it easy to compare performance at specific points in the race.

Predicted Running Styles (Racecards)

Available on the Racecard page (not race results), this feature predicts how each horse is likely to run based on their historical sectional position data. Found in the purple "Predicted Running Styles" accordion near the top of the racecard.

How It Works

• Analyzes up to the last 10 races with sectional data for each horse
• Uses decay weighting - recent runs carry more weight than older ones
• Calculates average positions in early and late stages of races
• Classifies each horse into a predicted running style

Running Style Categories

• Front Runner: Typically leads from the start, racing in positions 1-3 early
• Prominent: Races near the front but not leading, positions 2-4
• Stalker: Tracks in mid-pack early, then moves up in the closing stages
• Mid-Division: Races in the middle of the field throughout
• Closer: Starts towards the back, finishes strongly, improving position late
• Held Up: Held at the back of the field, makes a late run

Table Columns Explained

• Style: The predicted running style with color-coded icon
• Runs: Number of historical races with sectional data used for the prediction
• Early Pos: Weighted average position in the first half of races (lower = closer to front)
• Late Pos: Weighted average position in the second half of races

Confidence Indicators

• 3+ runs: Normal confidence - reliable prediction
• 1-2 runs (⚠): Low confidence - treat with caution, shown with warning icon
• 0 runs: Insufficient data - no prediction available

What to Look For

• Pace Scenario: Multiple Front Runners suggest a fast early pace, which may favour Closers and Held Up horses
• Lack of Pace: No Front Runners may result in a slow pace, favouring those who race prominently
• Track Bias: Some courses favour front-runners (e.g., tight tracks), others suit closers (e.g., stiff finishes)
• Early vs Late Pos: Compare these values - horses improving late (lower Late Pos than Early Pos) may have more to give
• Lone Front Runner: A single Front Runner with no pace pressure often has an advantage

The A-Z Runners page shows all declared runners for the selected day, sorted by Score by default. This gives you a complete overview of the day's racing with full RaceMetrics analysis.
