New here? How to read a flag · Model, Fair, Board and the pari-mutuel closing rule, explained once.
Five of the 8 are entitled to the early lead, so the opening quarter over five furlongs on turf in a $25,000 claimer should be contested rather than soft.
The model’s read ▾
It rates second on our own win number, 0.4 points behind the top, and with 5 of them wanting the front the early fractions should be honest.
5 of the 8 want the front over five furlongs on turf, and this one profiles to come from off it, so we pushed its number up for that (×1.1).

No one horse is entitled to the lead. Two have shown early speed, under the count that would rate the race contested.
The model’s read ▾
SAND BAGGER is one of the more likely winners we flag today, and the board still prices it like a longer shot. The gap is smaller in points than some, but it is on a horse we genuinely rate to win.
It tops our own win number, 14.8 points clear of the next one.

Four of the 6 are entitled to the early lead, so the opening quarter over six and a half furlongs on dirt in a $100,000 allowance optional claimer should be contested rather than soft.

Nothing in here has a clear claim on the lead. A field this size means traffic is the risk in here, not the pace. Only one has shown genuine early speed, without enough company to rate the race contested.
The model’s read ▾
This is the widest gap on today’s card. When our number is that far clear of the board, the disagreement is the whole reason to be here.
It tops our own win number, 29.3 points clear of the next one.

Rank is our power-figure blend, 1 is best. Why reads left to right: whether the pace shape helps (▲) or hurts (▼), the barn (B) and the morning (W). Green is positive, red negative, and BLANK means we have nothing to say, so only rows with signal carry a mark. Model and Fair are ours; Board is the morning line.

The exotics builder, the sequence builder and the style ranker all run against this card, 8 races of it, at the real minimum and the real takeout. They live on one page so there is one of each to trust.
Three of the 5 are entitled to the early lead, so the opening quarter over six furlongs on dirt in a $40,000 maiden claimer should be contested rather than soft.
