TOP CONTENDERS

TrackMaster Flashnet identifies the three best horses in each of four key categories in each race:

Power - an overall indicator of various handicapping factors combined together.
Speed - reflect how this horse's speed ranks against the other horses in the race.
Class - reflect the quality of the races in which the horse has raced.
Pace - reflect how the stages of the race are likely to be.

CLASS RATINGS

TrackMaster assigns a class rating (CR) to today's races and all races in which today's starters have raced. A top class race might have a class rating of 100 while a lower-level claiming race might have a CR of 70. By comparing the CR of today's race and the CRs for each horse's recent races you can tell if a horse is moving up or down in class, facing an easier or more difficult field that it has recently. The ratings are deigned to be equal across all tracks. So a horse that has been successful in races with a CR of 90 at one track should be competitive in a race with a CR of 90 when shipping to a different track.

SPEED RATINGS

TrackMaster assigns a speed rating (SR) to each horse's race, where there is enough information to accurately do so. These ratings tell you how fast a horse has been performing. It is based on the horse's actual time and other factors, such as the composition and condition of the track and the post position the horse started from. A horse who races in a top class race might earn a SR of 100 for a good performance while a low-level claimer might earn a 70 for an average performance. Like the class rating, the speed rating is weighted for different tracks and conditions and designed to be equal across all of them. A horse that races consistently in the 80s at one track should be competitive with horses that race in the 80s at another track.

PACE STYLE

The pace style gives you a quick look at how a race may be contested. The numbers identify which horses prefer to race in front early in a race, which ones typically make middle moves and which ones come from behind. This is useful in anticipating early speed duels which can significantly affect the pace of a race.

The pace calculations analyze a horse's positions at the four stages of a race: 1st Quarter, 2nd Quarter, 3rd Quarter, and Finish. By averaging the positions a horse has been, a number is produced indicating where that horse usually is at that point in the race. If a horse shows a first quarter figure of 1.5, this horse typically races in front (between first and second) early in a race. Another horse might show a first quarter figure of 6.8, meaning it tends to be placed towards the back early in a race. By comparing the pace figures, you get an idea of which horses consistently race in front and which come from behind.

POWER RATINGS

TrackMaster Flashnet includes power ratings which are an overall indicator of the horse's potential profitability, combining the components of speed, class, pace and various other handicapping factors. This power rating is also weighted to reflect a track profile. For example, early pace carries more importance at a smaller track than at a large one with a long stretch.

RECENT RACES

A summary of various key information over the last three races is provided.

DRIVER AND TRAINER

Key statistics in several different categories are provided for both the driver and trainer.
