Pick-sheet marks: notes from the past performances, not proven to beat the odds. How to read them is on the race page.
Model win chance is the card model shown on the race page. The morning-line favourite wins more races than our top-ranked horse (see the record), so read it as a second opinion.

From TBredIQ's own results records; may be incomplete before Jul 3, 2023. Matched on name, sire and dam. Finish shows lengths behind the winner where we have the chart; odds are final odds where we have the chart, otherwise the morning line (ML). Past race pages aren't kept on the site, so there's no result link for these races. 5 other entries in our records have no result (usually a scratch, or a race we have no chart for) and are not listed.
