FAQs

For Australian and international race horse enthusiasts who....
are serious analysts....
want a tool that puts them in control....

My HorseRaces offers a wide range of transparent options and analytical techniques which can be applied to race data. Users can:

choose weight rating analyses or speed rating analyses or a mixture of the two
change the full range of parameters and analytical options in My HorseRaces in their analysis of each race
choose whether or not to include old form, jockey and barrier disadvantage, and so on
see the results of their choices in terms of computed odds, expected position in race, betting amounts and selected horses
see which choices would have produced the best profits for any selected group of past races.

My HorseRaces is ideally suited to those who already spend significant time analysing race form and who want a simple and transparent tool to assist them but want to control the analysis of it - including control over the setting of best values for crucial influences such as class weights used in weight ratings and the basis of odds computation.
Who might benefit from My HorseRaces?
How might they benefit?

You may enter race data manually or you may upload Australian or New Zealand race data electronically at the click of your mouse after you download race files from Racing Australia (RA) - prepaying RA for 'New Form' (last 5 starts) or 'Computer Form' (last 2 years) as a Racing Services Bureau (RSB) subscriber.

My HorseRaces users may become RSB subscribers and create download accounts via the My HorseRaces Subscriber Application Form (accessed by the On Line Credit Card link for either Computer Form or New Form under 'Period subscriptions' section).

Three data bases are provided for you to add your own race data for analysis:

one contains racecourse and jockey information from 2018 eastern Australian metropolitan races (Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane), together with associated metropolitan class structure;
one has this metropolitan racecourse and jockey information cleared ready for fresh race data; and
the other contains racecourse information from south eastern Australian country races, together with modified class structure for country races.

Data bases are easily copies or cleared of prior races. Regardless of location, if you enter race data manually, information on new horses and jockeys is sought from you as you enter data. If you upload race data electronically, new jockeys, horses and racecourses are added automatically and the new racecourses or jockeys are flagged for you to add information on them.

You can use the optimisation facility of My HorseRaces to determine which analytical techniques and options would have maximised returns from sets of past races that you select from your own data base as you build it up. A data base of 2004 horse races built up by the developer is provided with My HorseRaces. You can immediately use this 2004 data base to test the optimisation facility to see the benefits of building up a bank of races over time (or, with My HorseRaces Basic, analyse individual races).

Results of use by the developer of the optimisation facilility on a series of data bases of Australian races - 2000, 2004, 2005, 2008 (metropolitan), 2008 (country), 2009, 2012, 2014/15 and 2017 - help shape the default option and parameter settings in My HorseRaces. All these results should also help users choose their own settings for the races they follow.
