• Top Score in race: 23% wins (2.15x random)

Random %

The baseline win probability if all horses had equal chance. Calculated as 100 ÷ field size.

Place% & Each-Way Terms

Estimated probability of finishing in a place position, derived from Win% using Harville approximation. Each-way terms adjust automatically based on field size.

Runners	Places	Odds Fraction
5-7	2	1/4
8-11	3	1/5
12-15 hcap	3	1/4
16+ hcap	4	1/4

4 or fewer runners = win only (no place betting).

Exclude Runner (Excl)

Tick the Excl checkbox to remove a runner from the Win% and Place% calculations. Useful for seeing adjusted probabilities without the favourite or a non-contender. Exclusions are remembered per race within your session.

Win%, Place%, and EW terms all recalculate based on remaining runners.

HHI (Market Concentration)

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index measures how concentrated the betting market is around favourites.

HHI	Label	Meaning
< 0.15	Wide Open	Very competitive
0.15-0.25	Competitive	Evenly matched
0.25-0.40	Moderate	Market has preferences
0.40-0.60	Concentrated	Strong favourite
> 0.60	Dominant	Heavy favourite

Uses morning prices if available, then breakfast, then evening.

HP (High Performers)

Count of connections rated 1550+ (out of 6). Gold dots indicate high-rated connections.

= 4 HP (Elite)

Weighted average of all connection ratings:

• Owner: 20%

• Trainer: 20%

• Jockey: 20%

• Dam: 18%

• Sire: 12%

Trip Fit & Best Fits

Trip Fit shows how well today's race conditions match each runner's optimal trip profile (going-by-surface, distance, class, surface). Best Fits is a dedicated view that ranks the field by fit.

The Trip Fit column appears in Ratings, At-a-Glance and Form Expert (horse view) between Score and the next data column. Click-to-sort on Ratings view.

• Stars - filled = matching dim, empty (☆) = non-matching. Score shown as matched / counted e.g. 3/4.

★★★★ emerald = every counted dim matches (100%, e.g. 4/4)

★★★☆ cyan = most match (66%+, e.g. 3/4 or 2/3)

★★☆☆ amber = some match (40%+, e.g. 2/4)

★☆☆☆ gray = few or none (under 40%)

• Hover - tooltip shows per-dim breakdown (today vs optimal) plus trend and runs.

• "low conf" - no dim reaches med+ confidence (sample too small).

• "no data" - horse has too few runs to compute a profile.

Sort tip: Rank badges (gold/silver/bronze) stay on the Combined-Rating top 3 even when you sort by Trip Fit. So if the gold #1 horse drops to row 6 after a Trip Fit sort, that's the rating top pick but a poor conditions match.

The Best Fits view ranks runners by trip fit:

• Top 3 with gold/silver/bronze rank badges — here the badges DO reflect Trip Fit (unlike the Ratings view above)

• Per-dim match details inline (✓/✗ for each counted dim)

• Trend arrows: ↗ improving · → peak · ↘ declining · ? unknown

• Runners with insufficient data listed separately at the foot

Confidence gating: A dimension only counts toward the fit score if its optimal pick has at least med confidence. Low-confidence picks (3-5 runs) appear in the tooltip for context but don't drive the score — this stops small-sample flukes producing misleading green badges.

Going by surface: When today's race is on Turf, the fit checks the horse's optimal turf going. On Polytrack/Tapeta, it checks the per-AW-surface optimal — these are kept distinct because horses can prefer one synthetic surface over the other.
