PREMIUM FORM AND ANALYSIS

A Race Passes subscription gives you the full power of Timeform Premium Form and Analysis at your fingertips. The renowned ratings and Flags are explained in greater detail elsewhere in the Getting Started section, along with introductions to the Jockey and Trainer Dashboards and In-Play Symbols.

They’re all included – but here we showcase the additional information displayed on the superior day-to-day racecard view and via open access to the 12-year archives.

ON THE RACECARD VIEW

Get more depth on a horse’s history and characteristics plus an expert’ assessment on past performances.

In just a few lines you’ll find reference to physical descriptions, a summary of ability, best and most recent form, indicators of optimal trip, range of going acted on, equipment used and running style. Go up another level!

Then there are Timeform ratings of past performances, adjusted to today’s weights, timefigures, In-Play symbols and finishing sectionals. You can also compare these ratings to those of previous winners of the race (TRWs), listed in the race header. How much does the horse need to improve? Has it shown enough previously? Find out quickly with premium Timeform.

PREMIUM RACE REPORTS

Look at comparative performance ratings and our reporters’ comments for every runner – for pre-race study or post-race analysis.

In addition to runner-by-runner analysis you’ll find an overview of how the race was run. Our reports give so much that bare form cannot convey. Did a horse blow the start? Have bad luck in running? Make jumping errors? Was the race truly run or a tactical affair? All of these questions are answered. Also included are race times, distance adjustments, closing sectionals, In-Play betting highs and lows, fences jumped and more. Go deep in the data!

PACE HINTS AND POSITION MAPS

How might the race be run? Timeform’s Early Position Figures drive a range of hints and graphics to give you clues.

Given the running and riding styles of horses and jockeys in the race, where might the ideal position be? It’s shown in the bar in the deepest red. Compare it quickly to the likely positions taken up by each runner in our at-a-glance guide.
