This is Claude's opinion, not ours
Every pick, percentage and pace call here is Claude's (an AI's) read of the races, built only from one past-performance provider's data. Nothing here comes from the First Rodeo Racing crew or any expert handicapper. For our own takes, watch the FRR live streams and clips.
How to use this board
- Start with the headline numbers and "Where the value is" to see which horses Claude thinks the odds underrate.
- Pick a race in the Race lab for its pace map, chances vs. odds, speed figures and full runner board.
- Check the live odds near post time. A horse is only value if its odds are longer than Claude's fair odds.
The market
A morning line is the track handicapper's guess at the final odds, not a bettable price. Convert each price to an implied probability (odds of 4-1 = 1 ÷ 5 = 20%). A race's implied probabilities add up to more than 100%, and the extra is the built-in margin, like the vig on a point spread. "No-vig" scales them back to 100% so they can be compared with Claude's line.
Morning-line margin by race
How far each race's implied probabilities add up past 100%. Higher means more padding in the posted prices.
Chalk check: the ML favorite
Each race's morning-line favorite: no-vig market % against Claude's %. A green line means Claude likes the favorite more than the market; red means less.
Where the value is
Edge is Claude's win probability minus the no-vig morning-line probability, in percentage points. A positive edge is an overlay: the horse wins more often than its price says. Post-time odds will move, so the edges will change by race time.

Value map, every runner
Above the diagonal = Claude rates the horse higher than the market does. Larger dots are each race's top pick; the race picked below is highlighted.
Pace
Pace is the part of a race most like a matchup edge. Lots of speed in one race means a duel up front, which sets it up for horses coming from behind. Little speed means the leader can steal it.
Pace pressure by race
Runners by running style. Speed = needs the lead or presses it; stalker = sits just off it; closer = runs late.
Projected half-mile time vs par
Claude's projected half-mile split minus the par time, in seconds. Left of zero = faster than par. The fastest early paces should help closers most.
