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

There are two types of Class Ratings in all TrackMaster products.

Each of today's races is assigned a class rating based on the past performances of each of the entrants in a race. This number is an estimate of what Equibase Speed Figure Equibase Speed Figure should win the race provided all the entrants in the race go.

A top class (stakes) race might have a class rating of 120; a $10,000 claiming race might have a class rating of 90. By comparing today's race to each horse's recent races you will know if the horse is moving up or down in class - that is, if he is in an easier or more difficult race than he has been in recently.

The calculation of class rating includes a weight for the track so you can compare class ratings between races at different tracks. An 80 at Aqueduct is equivalent to an 80 at Belmont and an 80 at Philadelphia Park. A horse that has been successful in races with a class rating of 90 at Churchill Downs should be competitive in a race with a class rating of 90 at Aqueduct.

Equibase Speed Figure EQUIBASE SPEED FIGURES

Equibase Speed Figure Equibase Speed Figures tell you how fast a horse has been running in its recent races. It is based on the horse's actual time and other factors, called variants, such as the condition of the track. A horse who races in top class races might earn a 120 for a good performance; a $10,000 claimer might earn a 90 for an average performance.

The Equibase Speed Figure Equibase Speed Figure is weighted for different tracks, distances and conditions. A horse that runs consistently in the 80s at Laurel Race Course should be competitive with horses that run in the 80s at Philadelphia Park. TrackMaster products display speed and class along with today's distance and surface. You can spot horses that have run higher numbers and higher classes and especially horses that have done their best work at today's distance and on today's surface.

PACE STYLE

The pace style ratings are simply a numerical measure of where a horse likes to run within a pack of horses in a race, based on a scale of 1 (front) to 9 (back) by averaging the positions a horse has been in each point of call over his past races. In general horses rated 1-2 tend to like to run in the front of the pack; 3-6 mid-pack; and 7-9 in the back. Comparing the early figures to the middle and finish figures, you get an idea of which horses consistently run in front and which come from behind later in a race.

POWER RATINGS

The proprietary TrackMaster Power Rating is an overall indicator of the horse's potential profitability combining the components of speed, class and pace.

RECENT RACES

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

JOCKEY AND TRAINER
