How can I know right away how competitive a race is likely to be?
Over 85% of the races run are won by Competitive Speed Figure Range qualifiers. The horses that qualify will have bold fonts in the pace picture. You will know with a glance how many horses qualify. Many horses, of course, will not pass typical handicapping tests – class, form, etc. – but you’ll save time with your contender list by checking those horses first in conjunction with the pace picture match-up. Note that the competitive speed figure range qualifiers are in bold in the pacelines as well.
