Why should I use Search Profiles?

Great choice! You have either read the whole page or taken our advice at the top to read this section. Either way it was the right decision. Now let’s look at why you should use the search profiles pages.

The simple answer to why you should use the search profiles pages is… “to help you pick your selections”.

Obviously there is no fool proof method to pick winners, but using TrackMates advanced ratings on each race card as well as the profile information and statistics on the profile pages will no doubt help.

For example… a horse profile page will show you the win rate for that horse as well as what percentage of the time it finishes in the top 3. This information is invaluable to help you decide what type of bet to place. If a horse is fancied to do well in a race and has a high top 3 percentage but a low win rate, you could us this information to help you to decide back the horse to place rather than win.

As mentioned above, this isn’t fool proof… but it can definitely give you an insight and advantage you otherwise wouldn’t have had.
