▲ / ▼ angle for / against · ★ best figure at the trip · LS longshot read · 1 2 3 = our top three · A B C tiers · ▲ ► ▼ form · ≡ ↕ steady / up-and-down. Tap a row for its notes, a name for the horse's page. Analysis only. Pace: little early speed. Favors horses who can be close.
How to read these marks
- 1 2 3
- Our top three by the card model's win chance. Tap “Our order” to sort by it.
- Win %, Fair
- The card model's chance to win, and the odds that chance works out to with no takeout. Fair is green when the model rates the horse above its morning line (the line scaled to add up to 100%).
- Tier A B C ?
- The field ranked on recent speed figures and the morning line together: A = top three, B = next three, C = the rest, ? = no figures yet.
- 71 60 72
- Last three speed figures, newest first. “@trip 75” = best figure at today's distance (within 30 yards) on this surface.
- ▲▲ ▲ ► ▼ ▼▼
- Form: last figure against the average of the three before it. ▲ = up 3 or more, ▲▲ = up 8 or more, ► = within 3, ▼ / ▼▼ = down. The number is the difference.
- ≡ ↕
- ≡ steady: the last four figures sit close together. ↕ up-and-down: they swing widely.
- ★
- Best figure in the field at today's distance and surface, from two or more tries, not tied. When that horse isn't in our top three it gets a “Distance horse” note above the field.
- ▲ ▼ chips
- Handicapping angles for or against the horse. LS = longshot read: 8-1 or more on the morning line and the model rates it higher than that line.
These marks describe the past performances. None of them is proven to beat the odds: in our test of 100 handicapping angles, nothing did better than the final odds, and the morning-line favourite wins more races than our top-ranked horse. Read them as notes, not as a reason to bet.
Race conditions and our readpace, conditions, story
DELTA DOWNS · RACE 6
UPCOMINGState-Bred Allowance · $46,000 purse
Allowance, for fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up, restricted to state-bred (registered) horses.
Allowance race — a step above claiming. No horses are for sale; written conditions limit the field to horses of similar experience.
● Track record at 7 1/2 Furlongs: 91.22
The shape is the story here: there's little established early speed, so a tactical horse can control soft fractions up front and prove hard to run down.
Our number tops on #8 Nodah (a presser/stalker, M/L 2-1). Recent figures: 72 · 84 · 71. It hit the board last time and stays in form. Backup is #1 Magnolia Avenue at 4-1. Use #4 Miss Priority in exotic structures.
What would change our mind: a key scratch that reshapes the early pace, a sharp turf-to-dirt or surface switch off the rail, or live money showing up on a horse the board had dismissed. Watch the tote late.
At a glance: model vs the morning line
At a glance
- Market favourite #8 NODAH (2-1) — our number agrees.
- #8 NODAH — our top number on the card, about right at the windows (27.1% to their 26.0%).
- #1 MAGNOLIA AVENUE — our #2 number, about right at the windows (16.4% to their 15.6%).
- #4 MISS PRIORITY — our #3 number, about right at the windows (12.9% to their 13.0%).
Model vs the morning line
- Longshot the model rates above its line: #5 R T'S GEM (12-1) — our fair 7.0% is above the morning line's 6.0%; supported by: top barn (47%) + jockey (38%) at 12-1 (a hot trainer-jockey pairing; on our own re-test it did not beat its odds)
