People are over complicating this. If you're a rookie, look at the speed class and pace ratings for a horse.

Speed: how well it sprints, very good for short races
Pace: how well it doesn't burn itself out early, very good for long races
Class: whether it's going down or up in competition. Use this to modify your thoughts on the previous two

higher is better in all cases. Have fun!

E2. In a maiden or claiming race class probably doesn't matter and for maiden the others don't either. But now I'm over complicating poo poo too. Just run with those ratings. It costs a few bucks to get the sheet with those, and will be well worth it for a rookie

Just a math note, if you can reliably generate 110% returns over a day, you can turn 1 dollar into 1 billion dollars in less than 2/3 of a year.

Well most tracks don't run every day for the whole year. Keeneland and Churchill downs for example only run two month long sessions a year each

but yeah, nobody makes 10% a day reliably

e. Downs after dark is a thing, but that's more party than true meet
