It isn't just form

A horse with three wins in its last four starts looks strong on paper. But if those wins came on soft ground at 1m2f, and today is good-to-firm over a mile, recent form alone is misleading you. Race Fit weighs recent form against today's specific conditions — distance, going, class, and field size — rather than treating form as a standalone signal.

What actually feeds the score

Five inputs move the number: course and distance suitability, going profile match, class trajectory, trainer and jockey current form, and pace fit within today's field. Each is scored independently, then weighted based on how predictive it's been historically for that race type.

"The horses that score highest aren't always the favourites — they're the ones genuinely set up to run their best race today."

Why the score moves during the day

Race Fit isn't static. Declarations change field size and pace shape. A late scratch can shift the whole pace map for a race, which recalculates fit for every remaining runner. That's why the number you see at 8am can differ from the number an hour before the off.

Using it well

Race Fit is a filter, not a verdict. It narrows a field of twelve to the two or three genuinely worth a closer look — cross-referenced against price, that's where the value conversation starts.
