One graph per race: every horse's early and late pace ranked against the field. Lone speed, closers, meltdowns — answered at a glance.
🏇 Coast to coast, piled into one card.
Every day we round up individual races from tracks all across North America — as many as the day offers — and pile them into a single daily card. Your card is never limited to one track's program.
One click: the picks sheet holds everything on one page — every pick, its audio clip, its projected running order, and the full pace card. It's all free unless you are uploading your own past performance data — that's the only charge: $5 for a day of uploads.

We spent months trying to beat the morning line, testing approach after approach on hundreds of races — pace-figure reordering, handicapper consensus, track-bias adjustments, a connections-based blend, our own fully transparent betting line, and scenario-based pace reordering. None of them beat it. Some were coin flips. One was actively harmful. The route late-pace bonus we were sure would help? It made things worse.
Here's what we learned: the line maker already priced it in. The person setting that morning line watches the workouts, knows which barns are live, sees the entries before you do, and has been doing this for decades. Every angle we tried — every "edge" — was already reflected in those odds.
So we stopped fighting it. Our ranking method is dead simple: the morning line top three, in order. No black box, no proprietary figures, no magic. On a 230-race verification set, our pace composite finished behind plain morning-line order. Across every test we have run, nothing we built has beaten it. Another AI independently verified our work and reached the same conclusion.
What we do add is vision. Each race gets a dual-graph pace visualization — every horse ranked against its actual field on early speed and late kick, shown as clean percentile bars. You'll see the lone speed, the pace duel, or the closer's setup in seconds. Pace is annotation only — it never reorders the field, because in our tests reordering never beat the morning line.
That's the product: respect the line, see the pace. The line tells you who. The graphs show you how.
From past performances to a one-glance pace picture.
Every morning we pull the official past performances for the day's thoroughbred cards and extract early and late pace figures for every starter.
Each horse is ranked against its actual field — #1 is the fastest early horse, #1 the strongest closer. No raw numbers to decode, just ranks and percentiles.
One graph per race, two lines per horse: early pace and late pace. Spot the lone speed, the duel, or the closer's setup in seconds.
The Daily Pace Card is run by AI. The picks, the pace sheets, and the podcast are all produced by AI. The system behind them was built and tested using many of today's leading AI systems in a strict deterministic environment set up as a handicapping lab, and it has been independently audited by other Large Language Models.
The card is free — every race, every day, supported by ads. The only charge on the site is $5 for a day of uploading your own sheets.
Visual pace rankings for races across North America — the day's card, piled into one card.
Pace figures measure how fast a horse runs early in a race and how strongly it finishes. In horse racing handicapping, the early pace (often labeled E1) captures a horse's speed to the first call, while the late pace (LP) captures its closing kick. Races are won and lost on pace scenarios: a lone front-runner with no early challengers can steal a race on the lead, while three speed horses dueling through fast fractions can set the table for a deep closer.
Each Daily Pace Card graph shows every horse in a race on two lines — one for early pace, one for late pace. Horses are ranked against their actual field, so #1 always means "best early horse in this race" and #1 late means "best closer in this race." Percentile bars make the gaps visual at a glance. Running-style flags (early specialist, late specialist, versatile) highlight which horses own which part of the race.
Sprint races are usually decided by early pace — the best E1 horses contest the lead and the winner often comes from the front half of the field. Routes reward late pace — the best LP horses sustain their run when sprinters fade. Our dual-line view shows both dimensions together, so you can see which horses can do both: the versatile top-5 early and late threats.
Traditional past performances spread pace across columns of numbers. A pace picture puts the whole scenario in one graph per race. You still handicap your way — the morning-line order stands and pace is annotation, not a pick — but you get the race shape in seconds instead of minutes.
