Field Explanations

PRB - This is the average PRB of all starts, calculated for each race, so that the performance each race is weighted the same.

This new metric is more powerful than traditional strike rates. This is because strike rate uses wins which is very black and white i.e. a win counts as 1 but a loser regardless of finishing position, even if second counts as 0.

PRB^2 – This is the average of the percentage of rivals beaten squared.

PRB^2 is in effect PRB weighted so that each successive placing going down the field from the winner is less important. PRB^2 predicts future winners for any racing statistic better than PRB.

WAX – Wins above Expectations which is calculated like this, actual winners minus expected winners.
