All About Suitability

A dog's suitability is hugely important to understand — and we've given you all the metrics you need.

If we go to a racecard, you'll see four suitability metrics on the card itself: Trap, Distance, Class, and Track. Those four metrics are scored on 0-100 based on the dog's historic record in these conditions.

Click on the dog name, and you'll get a dropdown with ALL the information about these conditions — AND the combinations of conditions. For instance, the dog's win rate in this trap, at this distance, at this track.

On top of this, you have trap bias which we have calculated for this track and this distance — so you can layer this over the dog's suitability for the full picture.

The composite score uses suitability as a weighting to performance ratings — and gives you a more accurate predictor for winners, especially when it nudges over 60.
