New Release: Sectional Timing Module Now Live

May 13th, 2025

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a major innovation in race analysis—the new Sectional Timing and Metrics Module*—now available inside The Proform Professional Formbook.

This cutting-edge enhancement transforms raw post-race sectional data from Total Performance Data into a fully integrated, analytics-rich suite of performance tools that give Proform users a decisive edge in evaluating UK horse racing.

 

What Makes This a Game-Changer?

  • Sectional Times & Speed (MPH): Track each horse’s pace throughout every segment of the race.
  • Time Differences & Finishing Speed %: Instantly identify strong finishers or rapid early pace.
  • Stride Metrics: Analyse stride frequency and length for each performance.
  • Upgrades & Positional Changes: Surface hidden efforts and race dynamics.
  • Efficiency Rankings: Spot the smartest pace profiles.
  • LTO and Rank Comparisons: Contextualise the run against past form or today’s field.

Sectional Upgrades: See What Could Have Been

  • Sectional Upgrade (LBS): Theoretical improvement in pounds had the horse run more efficiently.
  • Pounds and Lengths Behind Winner (After Upgrade): Recalculates finishing gap using upgrades.
