Paper model · $0 staked · Not betting advice

Every first choice, and how it finished.

Each race, our first choice is filed before post and checked against the official order of finish. Winners and misses stay on the list at the same size. Nothing comes off.

One mark for every race

  • Won
  • 2nd or 3rd
  • Out of the top three
  • Not counted

How the record compares

A winner rate means little alone. Here it sits beside the morning-line favourite, the track’s own pre-race choice, on exactly the same races, and beside what picking at random would give.

Who found more winners?

Where it does better, and where it doesn’t

The same record split by track, surface and distance, each beside the morning-line favourite on the same races.

The full list

Newest day first. Open any day to see each race: our first choice, the estimate and morning line we published, where it finished, who won, and when we filed it.

How this list is kept

The same rules for every race, written down before the results come in.

  • Filed before post

    Each first choice shows the time we filed it. If we change it before post, usually after a scratch, the last one filed before post counts and the row shows the change. Nothing filed at or after post counts.

  • The official order

    We use the order of finish the stewards make official. When that differs from the order at the line, the row says so.

  • Scratches

    If our first choice is scratched, the race stays on the list marked Not counted and comes out of every rate.

  • Dead heats

    A dead heat for the win counts as a win, and the row names both horses.

  • The morning line

    The track’s pre-race estimate, set by the track before the race. It is a fair yardstick because it is published for the same races, before anyone knows the result. It is an estimate, not a price.

  • Nothing comes off

    A correction is shown as a correction, on the row, with its date. Rows are never removed.
