How we handicap Fair Grounds

Rating Model

Our proprietary model scores every horse entered at Fair Grounds by projected win probability — independent of the morning line.

Pace Scenarios

We map out the pace shape of every race — who's going to the lead, where the pressure comes from, and which runners benefit from the expected tempo.

Surface & Trip Notes

Fair Grounds Race Course runs on Dirt and Turf. We track bias patterns and trip notes from prior starts to find hidden form.

Value Ratings

Every pick is benchmarked against the morning line. We only flag plays where our probability meaningfully exceeds the market — real overlays, not chalk.
