Here’s a taste of the features provided in Pick Pony's past performance sheets (see the example/numbered screenshot below):
1. Integrated weather forecasts for each race.2. Configurable highlighting of critical jockey, trainer, and race statistics.3. Streamlined view of the racelines, with race times, pace, speed, and race shape stats conveniently grouped together in a format that makes sense.4. Averages line featuring rankings and averages of all columns, providing a quick overview of all essential information and how it relates to the other horse in the race.5. Annotated works (workouts) display, which can be integrated with race data for a seamless analysis experience.6. Intelligent organization of color-coded post positions, horse pedigree, track variant, feet-per-second calculations, negative comments, and other key details.7. Superior racelines, featuring annotated track information, integrated feet-per-second calculations, color-coded datapoints, and more. Each raceline includes the following columns:
Date: The date of the race with a track variant note. Track variant shows how many points below par the times for all races at the distance on the same surface were that day.
Track: The track the race was run on with a note indicating the horse's gate position for that race.
Distance: The distance the race was run at.
Surface: The type of trace surface (e.g. Dirt) with a note indicating the track condition for the race. Track condition abbreviations include fr for frozen, fst for fast, gd for good, hy for heavy, my for muddy, sl for slow, sly for sloppy, and wf. For wet-fast, etc.
Turf ConditionsHD - Hard - Surface is hard and horses do not have normal cushion of the course; frequently follows periods of drought and high temperatures.
FM - Firm - Equivalent to Fast on Dirt Track; course is dry and at peak efficiency.
GD - Good - The drying process continues, times improve and the track is approaching a FIRM condition. Fewer divots may be evident.
YL - Yielding - Usually following some wet weather; horses’ hooves dig up the course and divots are flying; times are slower
SF - Soft - Usually following prolonged wet weather; horses’ hooves sink in and dig up the course; times are considerably slower.
Dirt ConditionsFT - Fast - Completely dry and at optimal efficiency.
WF - Wet Fast - Occurs immediately after a heavy rain; track has surface water on it, but the base is still solid, accounting for times similar to (or even faster than) a fast track.
SY - Sloppy - As the track continues to accumulate moisture, the base is still solid but water is beginning to seep into the base; SURFACE WATER IS EVIDENT.
MY - Muddy - Moisture has permeated the base of the track; times are somewhat slower and running tires the horses more.
SL - Slow - The racing surface has begun to dry out; the base is still soft, but surface drying is evident; times are generally slower than normal.
HY - Heavy - Similar to Muddy, track surface is deep and consistency is thick, an obvious slowing of times will be apparent as will the tiring of front runners.
GD - Good - The drying process continues, times improve and the track is approaching a FAST condition. Some flying dust may be evident.
FZ - Frozen - As a result of sustained low temperatures, ice particles have formed on the racing surface.z
Restrictions: Restrictions, such as age and sex, place on the race.
Race type: The type of race (e.g. stakes, maiden special weight)
T1: The time at the first point of call with a note indicating the time fraction.
T2: The time at the second point of call with a note indicating the time fraction.
T3: The time at the third point of call with a note indicating the time fraction.
T4: The time at the fourth point of call with a note indicating the time fraction.
E1: The early pace rating with a note indicating the fps (feet-per-second) for that segment of the race.
E2: The mid pace rating with a note indicating the fps for that segment of the race.
LP: The late pace rating with a note indicating the fps for that segment of the race.
1c: The early pace rating of the race. More negative is slower, more positive is faster.
2c: The late pace rating of the race. More negative is slower, more positive is faster.
Speed: The first number indicates the horse's speed rating for the race. The second number indicates the speed par for that particular race.
Position: The horse's gate position with a note indicating the number of participants in the race. Lengths are generally estimated to be 8-feet each. It is also surmised that 5 lengths = 1 second. This however, doesn’t take into account a jockey pulling up when he realizes the race is lost so should be considered a very rough estimate only.
Start: The horse's position out of the gate.
C1: The horse's position at the 1st call and the difference in distance (in lengths) at that point of the race.
C2: The horse's position at the 2nd call and the difference in distance (in lengths) at that point of the race.
Stretch: The horse's position at the stretch and the difference in distance (in lengths) at that point of the race.
Finish: The horse's finishing position and the difference in distance (in lengths) at that point of the race.
Jockey: The jockey's name with a note indicating the jockey's weight.
Equipment: Any equipment (e.g. blinkers) worn or medicine taken by the horse during the race. For equipment, f The letter “f” indicates the horse wore front bandages. If the horse wore blinkers (to narrow the horse’s vision and concentrate his focus), the letter b would appear after the f (fb). r indicates the horse wore bar shoes (to correct a hoof problem). n indicates a nasal strip was worn. Medicines include L - Lasix, L1 - first time Lasix, LX - off Lasix, C - First time Bute, B -Bute, and A - Adjunct.
Odds: The horse's morning odds in decimal format.
Finishers list (aka company line): A list of finishers in the race with a note indicating the finisher's weight and difference in distance between that horse and the next entrant.
Comments: Any notable comments for the race. Negative comments will be highlighted in red.

Our Past Performance sheets contain heatmaps for every race. These vibrant displays bring speed ratings, jockey and trainer statistics, works rankings, E1/E2/LP pace, days between races, and more. Our heatmaps use a color gradient from dark red to dark green - the darker the green, the better the stat value - allowing you to easily identify patterns, cycles, and trends in a horse's performance. The first column represents the most recent race - the last column represents the earliest race.
In the example below. Super Cindy had a 7.0 Bris speed rating 10 races ago. In her most recent race, she had a 75 speed rating. The more recent ratings are a darker green indicating an improvement from earlier races. However, there are other horses with darker green ratings which indicating better speed ratings than Super Cindy.
We include a speed trends chart for every horse in the race that graphs the horse's speed progression over time. The solid blue line indicates the speed, while the dashed blue line paints a picture of the speed trend. The dark orange dashed line is the horse's average speed. Dashed-green and red lines are "fast" and "slow" moving averages that act like "Bollinger bands" in a financial chart. Notice how the speed line bounces around between the dashed green and red Bollinger bands. When a speed line comes close to touching a "Bollinger band", you can expect the speed rating to "bounce" off the line so that it remains within the Bollinger bands. It's a time-proven statistic in the financial world that works in the horse racing world, too.
Pick Pony Past Performance sheets include a trend chart for every horse in the race. We include trend lines for E1, E2, and LP pace. Green is E1 pace, Blue is E2 pace, and Red is late pace. The steepness of the line indicates the degree of the trend for each pace as calculated by our AI.
Many believe feet-per-second calculations revolutionalized horse race analysis. We do the cumbersome calculations for you and integrate the feet-per-second calculations directly in the race lines plus provide a FPS chart for every horse in the race. The green line is the FPS for the first fraction, blue is the critical turn time (second) fraction, and red in the FPS of the final fraction. Dashed lines indicate the trend for each FPS fraction.
