This is The Thursday Take — our weekly column on RaceMetrics, where we take the topic racing is talking about and put it to the test against the Proform database. No hunches, no hype. Just what the data says. This week, a question we have wanted to answer properly for a long time: does the betting m...
Top rated on the tissue, top on the power rating, top on speed, top on pace: quite often that is four different horses. So which ranking should you follow? The video tests all four on one course, and the method takes a couple of minutes.
One question, asked four times

A member asked us whether they could see a year of sectionals for one horse, or only race by race. The answer is better than a year: every run the horse has had, in one table, and one click to download it.
Every run in one table
Open the horse's profile and click the Runs card. That brings up ever...
If a back-test reads a horse's rating as it stands today, it already knows which horses went on to improve. The results look better than anything you could have bet at the time. The video shows the problem on one real race, and how the System Builder avoids it.

One member told us this week that they type the same figures off the racecard into a spreadsheet every morning to build a shortlist. If that is you, My Card does the copying for you, and the day's figures arrive in your spreadsheet already in the columns you chose.

This is The Thursday Take — our weekly column on RaceMetrics, where we take the topic racing is talking about and put it to the test against the Proform database. No hunches, no hype. Just what the data says. This week, the oldest system in the game, and the one nearly every punter has tried: back t...
A lot of members work through a race one view at a time: the ratings first, then the form, then the collateral lines, ruling horses out as they go. Until recently that meant crossing a horse off on one tab and then trying to remember you had done it on the next. One member told us he used to keep tr...
Matt Russell reviewed the System Builder for On Course Profits on 23 September 2026. He came to it cold, having heard of Proform for years but never used it, and worked through the builder the way a system builder would. This video recreates the path he took, on screen, with his two Ask sentences ty...
The Market Movers tab on a racecard shows one race at a time. We are often asked where to find the whole day in one place, so there is a new page: Market Movers for the day, every meeting's steamers and drifters together. The video above walks through it in under three minutes.
Two lists at the top
