Racecard views: the same field, read a different way

Above every racecard is a row of buttons that change what the grid shows. Same horses, same order, different columns, so you can read the race the way you want without a single hover.

Hovers are fine for checking one horse. They are no use when you want to compare the whole field at once. Views fix that: pick one and the grid keeps your horses exactly where they are, then swaps the columns for the ones that answer a different question.

Everyone sees the strip, including signed-out visitors, and each button carries a sticker when it needs a plan. The full set is Ratings, Odds Movement, Weight, Form Strength, Race History, Price Record and My Systems, with a Download race button at the right-hand end for Professional members (see Downloading the ratings). A view above your plan shows a padlock, and clicking it tells you what it would take to open it. Your choice sticks as you move from race to race.

Ratings

The card as you know it, and where you start. On a free account the first button reads Races instead.

Odds Movement

What the market has done since the card opened. Premium and Professional.

You get the Opening price, the Latest, and the Move as a percentage, labelled Drifted or Backed so there is no arithmetic to do. The line on the right draws the whole story since the card opened: a drifter climbs, a horse being backed falls away. One glance across the column tells you where the money has gone.

Odds Movement also keeps AV10 Rank and AV3 Rank beside RTR Rank, so you can see whether the money is going on a horse the figures like.

Hover the line for the price history behind it. The last row, Off, is the final price before the race actually went off, in bold, and it is timed from the real off rather than the scheduled one. Rows marked with an asterisk are measured against the scheduled off time, which the footnote under the hover spells out, because races rarely go off exactly when the card says.

Weight

Every runner's weight laid out flat across the field, so the handicap is a shape rather than a list of numbers. Premium and Professional.

Form Strength

How strong the races were that each horse has been running in. Premium and Professional.

The first column is the horse's average over its last five completed races, and it sorts, so you can bring the horses out of the strongest form to the top. After that there is one block per race, newest first, with the horse's position, the Win % and Plc % of the rest of that field since, and the ORC. Hover a block for the course and date, click it to open that race.

The point is context. A horse beaten four lengths in a race where the others have since won plenty has been running in a hot race, and that is worth more than it looks on the form line.

Race History

The last five runnings of this race, for the horses in front of you: who has been here before, what the winners had in common, and the full old results underneath. Premium and Professional, and only on Class 1 and Class 2 races. It has its own article: Race History: the last five runnings.

Price Record

Each horse's wins and runs at today's price band. Professional. It has its own article: The Price Record column.

My Systems

Your own saved ProStats systems, applied to the race in front of you. Professional.

For every system you have saved that has a runner in this race, you get a column with a tick against the horses that qualify, and a count so you can see at a glance which horse is in more than one. Click a system's name and the rest of the field fades back, leaving its qualifiers. Below the grid there is a card per system with its record, the horses it has picked here and a button through to it in ProStats.

Systems with nothing running in this race are left out, so the view stays short. If you have not saved any systems yet, there is nothing to show: save a filterset in ProStats first.
