Best Bets are the races where our AI and our expert handicappers agree. Running win rate since September 13, 2026, updated each week. The morning line is the track's own overnight favorite, set from the same form our picks are made from; both are graded on the same races.

How Pick Pony works

1

Every horse gets rated

Eleven machine-learning models score every entrant at every covered track — form, pace, class, connections — hours before post time.

2

You get the picks first

Tip sheets, Smart Stats, and full past performances land in your account every race day, so you bet with the data — not a hunch.

3

Results you can verify

We publish yesterday's hits, misses, and payoffs right here on the homepage. No cherry-picking, no fine print.
