Top pick + Danger
Our two main picks together, against the market's two favourites in the same 822 races
- Top pick or Danger won
- Market's two favourites won
By the price you take
The picks as they were published at each time, at that time's prices. A pick that didn't run is void; the market's two favourites at that moment are settled on the same terms.

Running profit and loss: our pair against the two favourites
1 point on each of the two at starting price, in the same races. So far our pair is down 195.9 points and the favourites are down 315.0 points: our pair has lost 119.1 points less than backing the favourites.
- Top pick + Danger
- Two favourites
The favourites win more often, as favourites do; ours win at longer prices, so backing our pair has lost about half as much as backing the two favourites. Both lose at starting price, so treat these as a guide to where the model is strongest, not a system.
How we count
- 1 point on every pick at starting price. Each-way is 1 point each way at the race's place terms.
- Four picks in most races: our top pick, the main danger, an each-way bet and an outsider in fields of 8 or more.
- Accuracy is the average −log of the chance each side gave the winner: lower is better. The market has been the more accurate so far, so our fair prices are an opinion, not a promise.
- Results come from the end-of-day results file and are settled automatically; nothing is edited by hand.
