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.

- Returns are profit per point staked. Bookmakers can restrict accounts that take early prices.
- Day-before price is missing Sat 19 Sep, Sun 20 Sep, Mon 21 Sep, Tue 22 Sep, Wed 23 Sep: no publication with prices from the day before.
- 8am price + best odds guaranteed is missing Sat 19 Sep: no race-day publication before the first race.
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 574.4 points and the favourites are down 624.3 points: our pair has lost 49.9 points less than backing the favourites.
- Top pick + Danger
- Two favourites
These figures are at starting price. Our picks are often shorter by the off than when we publish them: taken at the day-before price, the same Top pick + Danger returned +4.67% over 47 days (1819 races), and +1.44% at the 8am price with best odds guaranteed. Early prices aren't always available, bookmakers can restrict accounts that take them, and past results don't guarantee future ones.
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.

Picks count only horses that ran: a non-runner is void, as a bookmaker settles it. Top pick 1932 of 2020 races (88 non-runners), Danger 1930 (90 non-runners). Each-way and outsider picks are only made in bigger fields.
