Build Your Own Card cuts the day down to the races you care about, everywhere you look. Most days carry more racing than anyone wants. **Build Your Own Card** lets you describe the races you actually bet, and then quietly removes everything else from your day. You'll find it on your [dashboard](https://ratingtheraces.com/getting-started/dashboard-tour/), in the **Races** panel: the **Build Your Own Card** button under the day tabs.

Only the bands the day actually holds are offered, so a jumps card never shows you a sprint chip and a Flat card never offers 3m+. ## The whole day follows it This is the part that makes it worth using. Once your card is built, it isn't just a filtered list: the **course tabs**, the **time strip**, the **next and previous arrows**, **Next Race Off** and the **race and meeting dropdowns** all narrow to your races. Click through the day and you only ever land on a race you chose. As you tick, the dialog counts what you have left at the bottom, for example *Showing 18 of 36 races at 5 meetings*, so you can see how tight the card is getting before you commit. Press **Build** and the day reshapes around it. [![The ratings toolbar after building: a Your Card chip showing 18 races, with the course tabs and time strip narrowed](https://ratingtheraces.com/help/build-your-own-card/2-your-card.webp)](#zoom-help-build-your-own-card-2-your-card) [![The ratings toolbar after building: a Your Card chip showing 18 races, with the course tabs and time strip narrowed](https://ratingtheraces.com/help/build-your-own-card/2-your-card.webp)](#close) A **Your Card** chip then sits in the toolbar with the number of races in it. Clear that chip, or press **Clear** in the dialog, and the full day comes straight back. A build lasts for your current visit. Build Your Own Card is a Premium and Professional feature.
