Select the type of Going or select 'between' a range of Goings.  

Please Note: When using this category for Declarations, selections are made using the forecast going. Therefore if the forecast going is Good it will only show runners where the forecast going is Good on the day. When the race goes off the going may have changed to Good to Soft  and therefore the original runner selected on Good ground will not be shown in Results.

If you have a rule concerning the Going, you may want to remove this when looking at the Declarations. This will mean you will see all selections that qualify on your other rules and you can then make a decision on which horses to back nearer race time depending on the actual going.

The Class Par Average is the average rating for all winners of this race type/age group and class. It is shown above each race card as: Class Par 

To find horses that have a better Master Rating or Lto1 rating than the par. Select this category and input a number, for example 80. Then also select Master Rating or Lto1 Rating and select either Greater than or equal to 80. This will then select any horses running today that have a Master Rating or Lto1 rating that is equal to or greater than the class par average of 80.

You may want to start your search with a higher rating of say 90 and work down to lower ratings for both the Class par average and Master or Lto1, until you have enough horses selected or to whatever point you feel is sufficient. 

The two Blog Post links below will help understand this and what you are trying achive with this Class Par Average category.

The Class Par High is the highest ever rating achieved for all winners of this race type/age group and class. It is shown above each race card as: Class Par H

To find horses that have a better Master Rating or Lto1 rating than the previous highest. Select this category and input a number, for example 80. Then also select Master Rating or Lto1 Rating and select either Greater than or equal to 80. This will then select any horses running today that have a Master Rating or Lto1 rating that is equal to or greater than the highest ever class rating of 80.

This shows the difference in Bha rating, or official handicap mark, between today's ratings and the one from the last race. This way you can see if a horse has dropped in the weights or gone up in the weights. Just read below for how to use the values correctly for this one. You need to think of a horizontal line where moving to the left is 'less than' and moving to the right is 'greater than'

-10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, =, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

To find horses that were dropped 3lbs or more from their last run; Select less or equal and use a minus number, so -3. This will show horses that have been dropped 3lbs, 4lbs, 5lbs, etc..

Greater or equal a minus number, say -3, will find all horses that have been dropped -3, -2, -1, or nothing (=) as well as those that have gone up 1, 2, 3 and so on.

To find horses that have gone up 3lbs or more since their last run; Select greater or equal 3. This will show all those that have gone up 3, 4, 5 etc.

If you select just equal a minus or a plus number, -3 or 3, it will show just those that have gone up or down exactly your chosen value.

Back to Top

This shows the difference in Bha rating, or official handicap mark, between today's ratings and the last winning rating for a horse, in the same race code. Same race code is specifically All Weather, Flat Turf, Chase races or Hurdle Races.

This way you can see if a horse is running below or above it's last winning mark.

Just read below for how to use the values correctly for this one. You need to think of a horizontal line where moving to the left is 'less than' and moving to the right is 'greater than'

-10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, =, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

To find horses that now have a mark 1 or more less than their last winning mark; Select less or equal and use a minus number, so -1. This will show horses that are running 1lbs, 2lbs, 3lbs etc.or more less.

Greater or equal a minus number, say -3, will find all horses that are running -3, -2, -1, or nothing (=) to the last winning mark, as well as those that are above their last winning mark, like +1, +2, +3 and so on.

If you select just equal a minus or a plus number, -3 or 3, it will show just those that have a mark today exactly more or less than their last winning mark of your chosen value.

The Bha rating is the official handicap mark for a horse so here you can choose a range of options for horses that have above or below a certain Bha rating to see if results prefer any range in particular. 

Back to Top

This category ranks the BHA Ratings, (Official Ratings/Handicap Marks), in order from the highest to the lowest and numbers them as the highest = 1, second highest = 2, etc.. 

This means you can select the top weight (s) by selecting this category >> Equal >> 1, or you could choose the horses that carried the top 3 weights in the race by selecting less or equal 3. If you also select a set number of runners, you could also choose the bottom weight or two horses with the lowest weights in the race. This category will probably be most useful with Handicap races.

Back to Top

This shows the difference in the class of race between today's race and the previous race. Just read below for how to use the values correctly for this one. You need to think of a horizontal line where moving to the left is 'less than' or 'down in class' and moving to the right is 'greater than' and 'raised in class'.

-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, =, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

To find horses that were dropped 2 classes or more from their last run; Select less or equal and use a minus number, so -2. This will show horses that have been dropped 2, 3, 4 classes or more.

Greater or equal a minus number, say -2, will find all horses that have been dropped 2 classes, 1 class, or nothing (=) as well as those that have gone up 1, 2, 3 and so on.

To find horses that have gone up 2 classes or more from their last run; Select greater or equal 2. This will show all those that have gone up 2, 3, 4 etc.

If you select just equal a minus or a plus number, -2 or 2, it will show just those that have gone up or down exactly your chosen value.

If you have a system or set of rules and then add this category, with for example; Cumulative Lengths Beaten >> less or equal >> 1 it will filter the list of results you have or had, to just horses that were beaten 1 length or less. This will increase the win and place wins and profits but only because you are showing all horses not beaten far. If you select >> beaten greater or equal >> 1 length you would have no winners.   

It is just a filter the same as the category Finishing Position and Won By Lengths are, so you can see just certain horses from your initial set of system results if you want to.

Some horses run better after a short lay off, others prefer a bit of a break between runs. Trainers can also be found to do well with horses that run quickly again after a run or giving their horses a lay off. So for example you could select 'equal/less than' 14 days to find only horses that have run within the last fortnight.

Back to Top

To select horses that have won within any number of days, say the last 14 days, select this category and then less or equals 14. You could look for horses that haven't won for a while by selecting greater or equal, then the number. So for horses that haven't won in the last 12 months for example you would select greater or equal 365. 

Back to Top

Here you can pick horses that have won over the days Distance before. You can choose horses that have won twice or more over the distance for example, by choosing; Greater or equal, 2.

This category is for flat racing and is the for the stall number a horse has been drawn in. Some courses have an advantage if you are drawn in a low stall, others a high stall, so here you can find out which draw is preferred at any course of your choice.  

Back to Top

This category is for flat racing and shows the % of winners found from each stall number. This 'Original' category shows the actual number that was shown on the race card on the day and will be shown on the Historical Meetings pages that shows all past cards as they were when first posted.

Back to Top

This is the same as the category above 'Draw % Original' but calculates the winning percentages after the race, after any non runners have been removed.

Back to Top

This category is used to just show results for horses that finished in a particular position once you have your set of results so it it is just a filter, the same as 'Cumulative Lengths Beaten' and 'Won By Lengths'.

Mostly it will probably be used to just show all of the winners in a race. So if you have a query with a number of rules and get the results as normal, you can then filter that list of results to just show those horses that won. 

For this you would just select Finishing Position equals 1    

Note: If you want to run a query for horses that finished first or another poition last time out you do not use this category. For that query you will need Lto 1 Position Numerical. 

Back to Top

This category is used to just show if a horse has gone up or down in distance since it's last race, by at least 1 furlong.

So if want to see all horses that have dropped in distance by at least 2 furlongs, then select: Less or equal -2

Back to Top

Select if horses were wearing certain headgear or equipment to help them run better. The choices are; B = Blinkers, C = Eye Cover , E = Eye Hood, E/S = Eye Shield, H = Hood, P = Cheekpieces, T = Tongue Tie, V = Visor.

Back to Top

Choose the age or range of ages you wish to select for your chosen query.  

Back to Top

All of these categories should be self explanatory and more or less do the same thing, depending on exactly which are selected. As always, to find the number that is say 20 or less, select less or qual 20. For bigger numbers, select greater or equal 20 or whatever number/% you want.

Back to Top

Choose 'contains' on the drop down list for this one and type in the name of the horse. It needs to be typed exactly as the official name of the horse is to make sure you get results for just that horse.

This is for choosing an actual position or to not include an actual position, or to select or not select a letter such as F = Fell, P = Pulled Up etc.in either the last race, the second last race, or the third last race. If you want to select all horses that didn't finish 1st last time out, then select 'not equal' and 1.    

Back to Top

This is for choosing an actual numeric position or a range of numeric positions in any of a horses last three races. So you could select 'less or equal' 3 and this would only show horses that came 3rd, 2nd or 1st last time out.     

Back to Top

This category will show you what the Run Style number was for any of the last three runs. Here you could look for runners that like to lead or have been leading in recent races, so for this you would choose all Run Styles for Lto1, 2 and 3 >> Run Style >> Equal >> 1 

The Run Styles are, 1 = Led, 2 = Prominent or just behind leaders, 3 = Midfield, 4 = Slow to start of held up.  

Back to Top

To see or search for what the SP rank was in any of the last three runs.

So for example, Equal rank 1 means it was favourite or Greater than or equals 4 means it was 4th favourite of bigger.

To see or search for how far a horse won by. This is just for the Lto1, so last race only.

You can choose 0 for Dead Heat, 0.05 for Nose, 0.1 for Short Head, 0.2 for a Head, 0.3 for a Neck, 0.5, 0.75 for half a length and three quarters of a length. Then 1, 2 etc; plus any combination of whole lengths and less than a length.

Back to Top

This can be used to find how many days it has been since the Master rating was achieved. It will be between 2 and 365 as horses that ran over 12 months ago do not have a Master Rating shown on the card.

You may feel it is beneficial if a horse has recently achieved it's best rating in the last 12 months showing that the horse is in good form, or perhaps the opposite and you feel it may have peaked if it was achieved recently?

Choose 'ends with' on the drop down list or contains for this one and type in the surname of the Owner. Some owners have better records with certain Trainers and here you could combine both to find if they are historically successful or not, or perhaps together at certain courses.      

Back to Top

Horses can run with a penalty on many occasions, for example if a horse wins it may run soon after the win and be given a 6lb penalty as it cannot be assessed by the handicapper before its next run. Here you can select an exact penalty amount, or to find any horse running today that is carrying a penalty add the query, Penalty >> Greater or Equal >> 1.      

Back to Top

Select the number of previous runs you wish a horse to have had before showing in any results. You may want to select 'equal or greater' than 1 if you are using past records from the ratings columns as this then omit any horse winning on it's first race course appearance. You may also want to select 'equal or less' than 10 or 'between' 1 and 10 to only show results for horses that are unexposed and have not had many races so far.       

Back to Top

You could select horse number 1 and 2 in handicap races to show those at the top of the weights and therefore the highest rated horses in a handicap race. There is also the category BHA Rating Rank which will separate the actual weights carried so if you wanted just top weights you would choose BHA Rating Rank >> Equal >> 1.       

Back to Top

Filter by the sex of the horse. There are many proven theories that Colts and Geldings run better after a short break, so here you can choose to only count or not include any of the following. Colt = generally a young male horse under the age of 4, Filly = a young female horse under the age of 4, Gelding = a horse that has been castrated, Horse =  a mature horse that has not been castrated, Mare = an adult female horse.

The actual stalls are positioned in different places on many courses and this can make a difference to results. The choices can be Centre (of the course), Far (side of the course), High (side of the course) and Low (side of the course).

Back to Top

Here you can filter by any weight, equal to, less than, greater than or a range of weights. This allows to include only light weights, only heavy weights and/or anything in between. Some tight courses such as Fakenham can favour top rated horses carrying more weight as the runners cannot go full speed because the horses are constantly on the turn. 

Back to Top

This is another category to use to 'filter' the results that you have from any system rules. Select this and then for example Won By Lengths >> Greater Or Equal >> 5 and it will then only show all horses that won by 5 lengths or more. Finishing Position and Cumulative Lengths Beaten are also filter categories.
