Moonee Valley Racecourse Overview

Moonee Valley Racecourse is a tight left-handed circuit in Melbourne's inner north-west. The 1729m circumference and notoriously short straight of just 175m makes it one of Australia's most unique tracks. Horses that can handle tight turns dominate — barrier draws are critical at this venue. Home of the Cox Plate, one of the world's great weight-for-age races.

How FormRace Generates Moonee Valley Intelligence

Every Moonee Valley race brief is generated by a four-stage machine learning pipeline that analyses field conditions, form data, market signals, and live race information.

01

79+ Features Per Runner

Each horse is profiled on recent form, weight, barrier draw, track and distance aptitude, days since last run, jockey and trainer win rates, and real-time market odds movements.

02

XGBoost Gradient Boosting

An ensemble gradient-boosted model ranks every runner by signal strength. The model is retrained incrementally every 5 minutes during racing hours as new results come in.

03

Monte Carlo Simulation

10,000 race simulations per event estimate opportunity probabilities and calibrate confidence. Runners are only flagged when the model-implied probability exceeds market odds by 20% or more.

04

AI Race Narrative

A large language model synthesises pace maps, jockey bookings, market moves, and model signals into a concise race brief — surfacing insights that raw numbers alone miss.
