Trakus, our #5 Innovation of the Decade, has begun to be used in charts. Not for the thoroughbreds, but for harness racing. In a complete shuffling of the running lines, the record keeper (Standardbred Canada, the Equibase of Standardbred racing in Canada) has added brand new statistics for punters. Here is a snapshot:
The new items are as follows:
The have added three new chart calls – start, the 1/8th pole and the 7/8′ths pole. This is good for punters who want to see if a horse was in the two or three path for most or part of a turn, or was tucked beforehand. You can also see as a bettor, just how much speed was flashed in the last 1/8th with the new 7/8′ths call point.
Ground covered, in feet. Trakus charts this, and it has been added to the chart. You can see that above in the “dist” column.
Bettors are always looking for an edge. For those who download these charts for their own software, for example, it should add some excellent model-able new data points.
