Alphabetical horse, driver and trainer listing complete with programs and race numbers.

PERFORMANCE RATINGS

TrackMaster produces several different ratings for harness racing. Speed ratings are for horses and measure performance in a single race. Class ratings are for races and judge the level of competition. Power ratings are for horses and are weighted averages of several different handicapping factors. Pace figures are similar to speed ratings, only they measure the individual fractions of races. For all ratings, the higher the number the better.

Click here for details and an important notice about our exclusive ratings.

- SPEED RATINGS: TrackMaster assigns a speed rating to each horse's race, where there is enough information to accurately do so. These ratings tell you how fast a horse has been performing. It is based on the horse's actual time and other factors, such as the composition and condition of the track and the post position the horse started from.

- CLASS RATINGS: TrackMaster assigns a class rating to today's and historical races. The class rating for a race is made up of a weighted average of the previous speed ratings from the horses entered in that race. The number is basically a projection of what the expected winning speed rating would be for that particular race.

- POWER RATINGS: The TrackMaster power rating is an overall indicator of the horse's potential profitability, combining the components of speed, class, pace and various other handicapping factors. This power rating is also weighted to reflect a track profile where certain factors, like early pace, are of greater importance.

- PACE FIGURES: The composite pace figure uses a track profile to compute a weighted average of how fast a horse has raced at the various fractions of a race. This is helpful to identify horses who best fit the winning style of racing at today's track, whether it be early pace or a strong closing kick.

SORTING

TrackMaster HarnessPro allows you to sort all columns of information in the data tables to help identify the horses with the highest or lowest values. You can sort columns either ascending or descending . Click the column header to sort in the default direction, then click the column header a second time to sort in the opposite direction.

PRINTING

Clicking on the print icon found at the top of each data table will print out the category of information currently on the screen. If you have columns sorted it will print in that sorted order. Choose whether you want the entire race card (all races) or just the opened race to print. To print an individual race you must first open that race.

TOP PERFORMERS

Standouts in today's race are highlighted for many statistics in virtually all sub-categories of each handicapping section. You will see the program number as well as the name of the horse, driver or trainer that has been chose as a top performer along with the specific stat that earned them this honor.

GRAPHS

Many columns/rows of information can be viewed in a graphical format. Select the column/row of information you want to graph by clicking on the button at the end of the column/row. The graph up above the data table will automatically change. Place your mouse over the data on the graphs more more details.
