How to Use This Guide

Value Score: A higher score indicates a stronger “reason to bet,” as the horse may be undervalued by the market. This is separate from its probability of winning.

Win Probability: Horses with a lower win probability are better suited for exotic bets (e.g., place, show, exacta) to capture their value, rather than straight win bets.
