Runner profile scores

Weighted across 25+ metrics · 7 axes

How scores are calculated: Each runner is scored 0–100 across 25 individual metrics spanning form, market intelligence, draw, connections, breeding, race fit and career profile. Metrics are weighted by their historical predictive value and combined into an overall profile score — where 100 represents a perfect match to the typical 2000 Guineas winner since 2000. Scores above 75 indicate a strong profile match. Click any runner on the radar to compare profiles directly against the historic winner average.

What each axis captures 25 metrics · 7 axes · weighted by historical predictive value

Form ratings

Peak ability & recent trajectory

Ceiling matters. So does direction of travel.

Market intel

Price signals vs historic winner distribution

The market is informative — but often wrong.

Draw

Positional edge on the Rowley Mile

26 years of stall data. The straight mile is unforgiving.

Connections

Trainer, jockey & ownership patterns

Connections are a signal, not a guarantee.

Breeding

Sire & dam lineage vs race demands

Genetic fit matters. Avg sire progeny dist: 9.9f.

Race fit

Recency, course & trip familiarity

Fitness leaves footprints. 77% of winners won LTO.

Career

Experience, win rate & seasonal freshness

Maps trajectory against the typical Guineas archetype.

Prep race patterns

The prep race tables below show which races the eventual 1000 Guineas winner had previously run in. The data reveals clear historical tendencies worth weighing alongside the model.

Fillies' Mile — the most informative autumn prep · 2 subsequent 1000 Guineas winners had previously won this Newmarket Group 1 the previous October.

Nell Gwyn Stakes (7f, Newmarket) — 2 eventual 1000 Guineas winners had previously won this spring trial, making it the leading domestic prep ahead of the race.

54% ran prominently — front-runners dominate this race far more than the 2000 Guineas. Running style is a key differentiator.

Billesdon Brook (2018) won at 66-1 — the 1000 Guineas has historically produced more shocks than its male equivalent.

Ante-post & next time out

What happens after the winner leaves Newmarket? Only 9/26 (35%) of 1000 Guineas winners won next time out — with the Coronation Stakes the most common destination.

15/26 (58%) went on to run in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot — the traditional next target for the 1000 Guineas winner.

O'Brien-trained winners typically target the Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh — his dominant record (7 wins) makes this the natural next step before Ascot.

35% NTO win rate is well below casual expectation — Coronation Stakes prices for the Guineas winner frequently overestimate their chance of following up.

Ante-post edge: Identifying the trainer early gives a clear read — O'Brien winners go to the Irish 1000, others to the Coronation Stakes. Prices shift significantly once the winner is confirmed.
