How to read racecards?

What is the racecard, the complete guide to a race?!

The racecard is essential data that allows you to view the flow of the race and a variety of rider information at a glance.

It provides crucial information about the riders competing in each race, their past results, and current form.
By utilising the racecard, you can develop betting strategies, compare and analyse riders or races, and predict race results.

01 Riders Information

Provides information on the race schedule, including the time slots and race grades (Entry, Excellence, Special) as well as the starting times.
02 Gears

Provides the ration of the number of teeth on the driven sprocket divided by the number of teeth on drive sprocket

Higher gear ratios result in greater acceleration once speed builds up. Lower gear ratios result in a higher top speed and increased responsiveness.
03 200m Record

Shows the fastest record from the races conducted over the most recent weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) the rider participated in.
04 Training Location

Indicates the place where the riders are currently training.
05 Win Rate

Calculated by dividing the number of 1st place finishes in the current year (or the previous year if it's the rider's first year) by the total number of races entered.
06 Win/Place Ratio (%)

Calculated by adding up the number of 1st and 2nd place finishes in the current year (or the previous year for first-timers) and dividing by the total number of races entered.
07 Win/Place/Show Ratio (%)

Calculated by adding the total number of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes in the current year (or the previous year for first-timers) and dividing by the total number of races entered.

Riders with higher Win Ratio, Win/Place Ratio, and Win/Place/Show Ratio have a higher likelihood of securing a placing.
08 Number of wins/Participations

Represents the number of placings (1st, 2nd, and 3rd places) and the total number of races the rider has entered since the first round of the previous half-year period.

This refers to the number of times a strategy has resulted in a placing (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) from the first round of the previous half-year to the present.
10 Grade adjustment

Indicates the current and previous grades of a rider.
Grades are classified into Special Grade (SS, S1, S2, S3), Excellence Grade (A1, A2, A3), and Entry Grade (B1, B2, B3). Grades may change through regular grading assessments or special promotions/demotions.
