When reviewing racecards and past performance data on MyWinners, you’ll see several tabs that break down horse and race statistics in different ways. Each tab highlights specific factors bettors use when making informed wagers. Below, we explain what each tab means, how you can use it, and a top tip to gain an edge.

Basic

What it is: A simplified view of past performances, showing the most important information at a glance (finishing positions, odds, surface, distance, etc.).
What it means: It gives you a quick snapshot without needing to dive deep into advanced analytics.
How to use it: Scan for consistency — look for horses that regularly finish in the top three.

💡 Top Tip: If you’re new to handicapping, start here. Horses with consistent in-the-money finishes often perform reliably.

Advanced

What it is: A detailed breakdown of performance figures, often including speed ratings, class levels, and pace dynamics.
What it means: These numbers highlight a horse’s quality relative to competition.
How to use it: Compare advanced ratings across horses in the same race to see which one is stepping up or dropping down in class.

💡 Top Tip: Horses dropping in class (facing easier competition) can be strong betting opportunities.

Power & Class

What it is: Ratings that combine recent performance (power) with the level of competition faced (class).
What it means: A horse with high power and class ratings has both ability and proven experience against tougher rivals.
How to use it: Spot horses with strong power figures moving into races with weaker class levels.

💡 Top Tip: A high-power horse facing a drop in class often outperforms its odds.

Speed

What it is: Numerical ratings based on how fast a horse has run in previous races.
What it means: Speed figures adjust for distance and track conditions, letting you compare horses across races.
How to use it: Look for horses with the highest recent speed figures, especially at similar distances and surfaces.

💡 Top Tip: Consistency in speed figures is more valuable than one standout number.

Pace

What it is: Analysis of how a horse typically runs — early speed, mid-race positioning, or late closing kick.
What it means: A horse’s pace style can make or break its chances depending on how the race unfolds.
How to use it: Use pace to predict race shape. If there’s little early speed, front-runners may dominate; if there are many speed horses, closers might benefit.

💡 Top Tip: Match a horse’s pace style to today’s race setup for hidden value.

Lifetime Stats

What it is: A horse’s career record including wins, places, earnings, and track-specific performance.
What it means: Shows long-term reliability and whether a horse has a preference for certain conditions.
How to use it: Check for “horses for courses” — those with strong records at the current track or distance.

💡 Top Tip: A proven track record at today’s venue is a big plus, especially at quirky tracks.

Jockey/Trainer/Combined

What it is: Statistics on jockey and trainer performance, plus how successful they’ve been together.
What it means: Some jockeys ride better at certain tracks, and some trainers consistently win with specific horses or setups.
How to use it: Look for strong win percentages, especially when a successful jockey-trainer combo reunites.

💡 Top Tip: A winning jockey-trainer partnership can signal intent — and hidden betting value.

💡Did you know? Most professional handicappers combine speed and pace figures with jockey/trainer stats to build a full picture of a race. Looking at just one tab in isolation can miss hidden value.
