Best Position (BP)

Best position in-running

Position

Distance Beaten (DB)

Distance behind winner

(As listed under "Result")

Meters

As published by the official result.

Finishing Position

Position the horse finished

Position

As determined by the official result.

Gate Time (GT)

The amount of time a horse spends in the stalls.

Seconds

Time taken from loaded to the off.

Jump Count (JC)

Obstacles successfully jumped.

Number of fences / hurdles

LxF

Average Speed

Miles per Hour

SL x SF

A measure of average speed that excludes the first 50m.

Max Win Probability (MWP)

Highest % chance of winning during the race according to TPD’s algorithm.

Percentage

See definition

Identifying unlucky losers or one’s to watch.

Official Time (OT)

Official Finishing Time

Seconds

Run Out Speed (ROS)

Late speed recorded after crossing the finish line

Miles per Hour

Speed 2s after the finish line

Horses racing relatively quickly after the finish line may be horses to follow next time or could be suited to a longer distance.

Stride Frequency (SF)

Stride Frequency (average excluding the first 50m).

Count of strides per second.

Average strides per second recorded in six secs increments.

High SF = sprinter.

Low SF = middle distance runner.

Min Stride Frequency (SF⭸)

Minimum Stride Frequency (excluding the first 2f and final furlong).

Count of strides per second.

Average strides per second recorded in six secs increments.

High SF = sprinter.

Low SF = middle distance runner.

Max Stride Frequency (SF⭷)

Maximum Stride Frequency (excluding the first 2f and final furlong).

Count of strides per second

Average strides per second recorded in six secs increments.

High SF = sprinter.

Low SF = middle distance runner.

Stride Length (SL)

Stride Length (average excluding the first 50m).

Feet/Meters

Average Stride Length recorded in six secs increments.

Long Stride = better suited to longer distance.

Min Stride Length (SL⭸)

Minimum Stride Length (excluding the first 2f and final furlong).

Feet/Meters

Average Stride Length recorded in six secs increments.

Long Stride = better suited to longer distance.

Max Stride Length (SL⭷)

Maximum Stride Length (excluding the first 2f and final furlong).

Feet/Meters

Average Stride Length recorded in six secs increments.

Long Stride = better suited to longer distance.

Time To Reach (TTR)

Early Speed.

Seconds

Timing from out of the gate to reaching 30 mph (flat) or 25mph (jumps).

Gate speed facilitates gaining track position and is key to winning dirt and sprint turf races.

Top Speed (TS)

Average Top Speed reached at any point in the race.

Miles Per Hour

Average top speed for five consecutive packets.

The best horses have a high top-speed.

Top Speed Stride Length (PSL)

The stride length achieved at the point of the horse’s average top speed.

Feet/Meters

Top Speed Stride Frequency (PSF)

The stride frequency achieved at the point of the horse’s average top speed.

Strides per second
