How FormRace Generates Sandown Intelligence
Every Sandown race brief is generated by a four-stage machine learning pipeline that analyses field conditions, form data, market signals, and live race information.
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.
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.
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.
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.
