    I’m NEW to Horse Racing & Confused… HELP!

    If you are new to horse racing and confused? Don’t be scared or intimidated… TrackMate is here to help you understand how to be successful using TrackMate’s Advanced Horse Racing Ratings.

    There has been a huge increase in interest in horse racing along with an increased presence on television. Anyone new to this incredible sport can be completely flummoxed by the task of unraveling a winner. Apart from the information provided by the excellent TV pundits, you have little or no idea where to start.

    Confused?

    Newcomers can be easily confused and find it hard to fathom out all the ins and outs. Only a few ever really take investing their hard-earned cash seriously.

    There is so much information available for you to make your choices it just gets so confusing.

    Race cards are available in newspapers, in the dedicated press, or online. Nobody ever teaches you how to read them properly and actually understand what they are telling you.

    The Old Days

    If you are not new to the game then you might remember the old days. When looking through the racing papers for form and information was so complicated it literally took years to interpret.

    It was the norm for punters to spend hours trolling through form books and stats trying to find an edge. The truth is only people in the know were really in with a chance of beating the bookies.

    When looking for help with making selections for horse racing there seems to be a huge amount of “experts” willing to share their knowledge with you… but at a price! Where is the fun in just getting a tip?

    Win or lose the real fun is the whole experience of making your selection and watching it run to see how well you and your selections have performed.

    Modern Racing Data

    Now in modern times there is just so much information and statistics! In fact maybe too much. There is so much data available to the racing enthusiast these days that it can sometimes have the same effect as the lack of data from many moons ago.

    The age of the computer has allowed us to go crazy with data and data-driven stats. Even though the availability of this data is great for some, for most of us it’s just too much information.

    So what do you do with all of this modern data? This is where TrackMate come to the rescue.

    TrackMate to the Rescue!

    The TrackMate Systems takes all of the information available and make thousands of calculations for each horse and every race. TrackMate does all the hard work so you don’t have to!

    There is no need to baffle punters with endless lists of numbers and stats to digest. Simply look at a TrackMate race guide and get all of that knowledge at a glance.

    The TrackMate Team

    All of the data analysed by the TrackMate rating algorithms are processed and displayed in an easier to understand format. Everyone understands a basic traffic light system. Green is go, amber is wait and red is stop. TrackMate’s Rating System uses a similar format. Green is good all the way to red which is bad. Ratings are then portrait in simple block form for the ratings and line graphs for the stack and trend.

    If you want to learn more about the ratings and their colours, read the post called The Ratings Explained.

    Let’s have a look at a real TrackMate race card ratings…

    This image is the race card from Newcastle on 28th January 2021 at 4:12pm. Let’s have a look at the colour-coded ratings… remember GREEN is GOOD and the more the better!

    Sample Green is Good Ratings (Before Race) - TrackMate
    TrackMate Race Card showing lots of Green – Newcastle, 28th January 2021 at 4:12pm

    You can see from the above race card that the horse “Greengage” has lots of green… green is even in the horse’s name!

    • 9 green ratings (3 are clear top rated)
    • 3 yellow ratings (which is the second best rating)
    • The stack and trend also have lots of green

    So looking at this race only using the colour-coded ratings, you could expect “Greengage” to be a good contender.

    Now let’s see how it ran… The image below is the same race card but from after the race had run.

    Wouldn’t you believe it… “Greengage” actually won the race! On this occasion TrackMate identified the winner perfectly. At the same time made the race card easy to understand so you could select the eventual winner.

    Did you also notice that “Tannadice Park” was heavily red rated (red identifies the worst ratings). You don’t always back a horse to win, there are plenty of different types of bets you could wager on. On this occasion the TrackMate Ratings System also identified a good horse to back to NOT win.

    Conclusion

    Obviously just because a horse has lots of green ratings doesn’t mean it is always going to win. TrackMate, time after time, identifies potential winners and gives you an easy to understand way of selecting contenders.
