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.

Card model top pick
#3 · 39%

Claiming $16,000, for fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up.

Claiming race — every starter can be bought for the claiming price out of the race, so owners risk losing a horse that's clearly best. That keeps the field evenly matched on ability.

● Track record at 6 Furlongs: 66.98

The shape is the story here: the early pace looks honest rather than contested — expect a fairly run race where class and trip decide it, not pace collapse.

Our number tops on #3 Bessie Coleman (a presser/stalker, M/L 3-2). Recent figures: 72 · 68 · 84. It needs to turn the form around after a flat last start. Backup is #5 Ryan's Girl at 3-1. Use #6 Eltonsingsanother 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 #3 BESSIE COLEMAN (3-2) — our number agrees.
  • #3 BESSIE COLEMAN — our top number on the card, and the board's letting him go too cheap — we make him 36.5%, they've got 31.5%.
  • #5 RYAN'S GIRL — our #2 number, and the board's letting him go too cheap — we make him 26.5%, they've got 19.7%.
  • #6 ELTONSINGSANOTHER — our #3 number, about right at the windows (16.9% to their 15.7%).

Model vs the morning line · analysis, not advice

  • #3 BESSIE COLEMAN — we make it 36.5%, the morning line works out to 31.5%. That gap is the model's opinion, not a price; pools pay the final odds, and on our records these gaps haven't paid off.
  • #5 RYAN'S GIRL — we make it 26.5%, the morning line works out to 19.7%. That gap is the model's opinion, not a price; pools pay the final odds, and on our records these gaps haven't paid off.
  • Longshot the model rates above its line: #1 SOMEDAY LADY (30-1) — our fair 3.7% is above the morning line's 2.5%; needs the trip to fall right.
