# RaceMetrics > RaceMetrics is a UK horse racing analytics platform by Proform Racing Ltd that provides proprietary performance ratings, pattern discovery, and profit/loss analysis across 7 connection types: horses, trainers, jockeys, owners, sires, dams, and damsires. Built on 25+ years of Proform Racing data covering all UK and Irish racing, it offers enhanced racecards, AI-powered natural language querying, a free weekly tipping competition with cash prizes, and daily tips from a proprietary model. RaceMetrics does not accept bets or provide gambling services. RaceMetrics tracks form using a proprietary rating system where 1500 is average, 1550+ indicates strong performers, and 1600+ represents elite level. Ratings are updated daily each morning based on the previous day's results. A Combined Score is calculated as a weighted average of 6 connection ratings (Owner 20%, Trainer 20%, Jockey 20%, Dam 18%, Sire 12%, Damsire 10%) and historically, the highest Combined Score wins 22.97% of races (2.15x random chance).

Adjustments consider finishing position relative to expectations, quality of opposition, and race conditions. The dashboard highlights "Biggest Movers" showing participants whose ratings changed significantly. ### Enhanced Racecards Source: https://racemetrics.co.uk/help.html#racecards RaceMetrics racecards provide enhanced race information with unique ratings and analysis for every runner. #### Accessing Racecards - Click "Racecards" tab on dashboard - Use hamburger menu for quick access - Navigate between days using date tabs - Navigation arrows show position (e.g., "27 of 28") for quick movement between races #### Race Header Information The race header displays: Time and Course, Race Name, Distance, Type, Class, Going, Number of Runners, Random (win probability if randomly selecting), and HHI (race predictability index). #### HHI - Race Predictability Index The HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index) is borrowed from economics where it measures market concentration. In racing, it shows how predictable the market thinks a race is based on the distribution of betting odds. The HHI is calculated by converting each runner's odds to an implied probability, normalising to remove the overround, then summing the squares of each probability. Interpretation: - Wide Open (< 0.15): Very competitive race, no clear favourite - Competitive (0.15 - 0.25): Evenly matched field - Moderate (0.25 - 0.40): Market has clear preferences - Concentrated (0.40 - 0.60): Strong favourite present - Dominant (> 0.60): Heavy favourite, very predictable Price Priority: HHI uses morning prices where available, falling back to breakfast prices, then evening prices. #### Runner Columns - Rank: Position by combined Score - # (Draw): Stall number - DR: Draw position - Horse: Name and age (clickable to profile) - H: Horse's own rating - HP: High Performer dots - 6 dots representing the 6 connections, filled if rated 1550+ - Score: Combined weighted connection rating - Win%: Estimated win probability - Place%: Estimated place probability - Excl: Checkbox to exclude runner from calculations - EW: Current each-way terms - Price columns: Evening, Bookmaker, Morning prices - Trainer, Jockey, Owner: Connection names (clickable) - O, S, D, DS: Individual Owner, Sire, Dam, Damsire ratings #### Row Colour Coding - Elite (1600+): Green tint - Strong (1550-1599): Blue tint - Average (~1500): No tint - Below (1450-1499): Amber tint - Weak (below 1450): Red tint #### Pattern Alerts Matching saved patterns appear as purple badges on the racecard.
