Where we look
A race is watched in order, from the gate to the wire. At each point we ask what the replay shows, then check what the official chart recorded.
The break
- On the replay
- Did it leave cleanly, or stumble, get squeezed or bump?
- In the chart
- Post position, the order just after the start, and any trip note.

The stretch

- In the chart

Chart callers record positions reliably for about the first four horses. Further back, we say less, not more.
Every line is tagged
You can always tell what we saw, what the record confirms, and what we're reading into it. Each analysis also states the replay's link, the date we watched it, and whether it was written before or after the race.
- Video-observed
Seen on the replay
Only what the footage visibly shows, with the time in the clip so you can check it yourself.
- Verified
Confirmed by the chart
Positions, margins, final time and the official trip note, with the chart named.
- Inferred
Our reading
A conclusion drawn from the two, always shown with what it rests on.
- Unknown
Left unknown
A horse's health, what a rider or trainer intended, and what happens next time. A replay can't show these, so we don't guess.
