How It Works

From Data to a Single Sheet

Seventeen years of racing know-how, fused with a machine-learning model, distilled into one page per race you can read in seconds.

How a sheet is made

The same process runs for every track, every racing morning.

1

Data In

Past performances, pace, pedigree, trainer and jockey form, the full picture for every entry.

2

The Model Scores

Our proprietary model rates every horse and projects its own fair odds for the race.

3

Value vs the Line

We compare the model's price to the morning line and flag overlays, chalk, and fades.

Posted & Updated

The sheet posts once post positions are drawn, usually 3-4 days out, then updates with scratches, jockey changes, and track conditions right through race day.

How To Read It

Reading a page, top to bottom

One race per page. Hover, tap, or tab through the numbered markers on this real sheet to see what each part tells you.

A Down The Stretch sheet page: Saratoga, July 11 2026, Race 10, a Grade 2 turf race worth $250,000. Ten horses with the model's odds, win probability, running style, strength bars and comments.

What the highlights mean

Most rows are plain. Two are not, and the difference between them decides how you bet the horse.

Gold bar

A DTS Best Bet

A genuine contender that the model prices meaningfully shorter than the morning line. The crowd has not caught up to it yet. These are the horses that fill the Top DTS Bets card at the top of the sheet, and they are the ones the model considers win-bet material.

Green tint

A longshot looker

A horse the model rates below the top of the field that is still going off at far bigger odds than it deserves. Use these underneath in exotics rather than as win bets. The value is in the price and the tail, not in a flat wager to win.

Green stays deliberately rare so the gold keeps your eye. If a row carries neither, the model sees the horse as fairly priced or overbet, and the reasons why sit in its Like / Fade panel.

Posted & Updated

Study early. Confirm at post time.

The sheet is built off the entries as soon as post positions are drawn, usually 3-4 days out, so you can start planning early. As race day nears, it updates to reflect the day's scratches, jockey changes, and track conditions, the read recalculated around who's actually running.

Any pass covering a track on a given day includes every update, buy once, get the early look and the most recent changes right up to post.
