RaceMetrics has a new look, with light and dark modes across the site
Every page now wears the same clean look as Race Guides and Fast Results: clearer tables, the same header and menus on every page, and a sun and moon switch at the top of each page to change between light and dark. Each page remembers your choice. The racecard and most pages open in light; the dashboard, Market Movers and the sectionals pages open in dark. Nothing has moved or been taken away: every column, filter and tool works as before.
A new look, starting with the dashboard and the daily list pages
The dashboard, Notifications, Market Movers, Hot & Cold Trainers, Runners A-Z, Non-Runners, Hard-Luck Finder, Best Fits, the profile pages and the race result page now share one cleaner design, with a light / dark switch in the header. The dashboard opens dark; every other page opens light. More pages follow.
Fast Results: how the ground is riding, from the race times so far
As a British turf meeting is run, Fast Results reads the winning times and says how the ground seems to be riding, meeting by meeting, from the second race on. It is an opinion from the clock, labelled as one.
Rail movements on the racecard before racing
When the rails have moved and a race will be run further or shorter than advertised, the racecard now says so before the off, taken from the British Horseracing Authority's own published distance changes.
A written preview of every British and Irish race on the racecard
Each morning every race gets a short written preview on its racecard, with the runner it likes and a one-line verdict. RM Pro and Proform Premium members can read the full piece.
Rail movements on the racecard, the race result and Data Export
A race run over a longer or shorter trip because the rails had moved now shows the change in yards beside the distance, on the racecard and on the result.
Results on the racecard minutes after the race
Open a racecard once its race has been run and the first four are shown at the top, with the place pills on the runners, marked provisional until the official result arrives overnight.
Results as they happen on the dashboard tiles and the race result page
Today's race tiles show the winner and starting price as soon as each race is run, and yesterday's results appear before the overnight file.

Each qualifier, mover and runner gets its finishing position beside its name as its race is called, with a running tally such as 2 winners from 9 run so far today.
"Clear by" for every RaceMetrics rating
