Our Past Performance View which we call HandiView highlights the most relevant information on each of a horse's past performances as well as past workouts. HandiView shows running lines as well as unique statistics pertinent to your race.

  1. Comprehensive Running Lines Analysis: The HandiView feature goes beyond basic past performance metrics by presenting running lines from each horse's previous races. This information allows users to evaluate how a horse ran at different points during a race, including its starting position, middle pace, and finish. These insights can be vital for identifying a horse's running style, such as whether it prefers to lead early or come from behind.
  2. Workout Data Integration: HandiView incorporates not only race results but also recent workout data. This means bettors can evaluate a horse's current fitness level and preparation for an upcoming race, which might be critical in predicting performance improvements or declines.
  3. Visual Simplification for Quick Decisions: HandiView presents all the data in a single, streamlined view that avoids the clutter of traditional past performance sheets. The intuitive design makes it easy to interpret relevant information at a glance, saving time and making it especially useful for bettors who want to efficiently compare multiple horses.
  4. Focus on Unique Metrics for Deeper Insights: HandiView also features unique statistics relevant to the current race that are not typically found in standard racing forms. These metrics, like pace numbers and the Genetic Strength Rating (GSR), complement traditional past performance data, providing a more complete picture of each horse’s chances.
  5. Suitability for All Skill Levels: The intuitive interface of HandiView makes it approachable for new bettors while still providing advanced data that experienced handicappers will appreciate. Whether you're just starting out or are an advanced bettor looking for an edge, HandiView makes past performance analysis simpler and more effective.
