What Are Profile Breakdowns?
Every profile page on RaceMetrics — horse, trainer, jockey, sire, dam, damsire, and owner — includes a Breakdowns tab. This splits the participant's record into categories so you can spot strengths and weaknesses at a glance.
Breakdown Categories
Six breakdowns are available. Going shows performance across ground conditions from Hard to Heavy. Class shows results at each race class from 1 to 7. Distance groups results into standard distance ranges. Course lists every track with a record. Age shows performance at different ages. Field Size groups races by number of runners.
Reading the Tables
Each row shows the category value, number of runs, wins, win strike rate, and profit/loss to starting price. The data tells you not just where a participant wins, but whether backing them in those conditions would have been profitable.
All columns are sortable. Click any column header to sort by that metric. This is useful for quickly finding the most profitable going or the course with the highest strike rate.
Expanded View
Click the expand icon in any breakdown header to open a full-screen modal showing all data without truncation. The expanded view is fully sortable and gives you the complete picture. Press Escape or click outside to close.
Saving Patterns from Breakdowns
This is one of the most powerful features on RaceMetrics. Click any row in a breakdown to save it as a pattern. For example, clicking the "Soft" row in a trainer's Going breakdown saves a pattern for that trainer on Soft ground.
Once saved, the pattern is tracked in your Pattern Manager. When a future racecard contains a matching runner, RaceMetrics highlights it with a pattern badge. You effectively automate the detection of your best angles.
Combining Breakdowns
Use breakdowns across multiple profiles to build a layered view. If a horse's sire profile shows strong results at 1m2f on Good to Firm, and the trainer profile shows profitability at that distance and going, the convergence of data strengthens the case.
Platinum: Actual Going Breakdown
Platinum subscribers see an additional "By Going (Actual)" breakdown that uses post-race going data. This sits alongside the standard Going breakdown for direct comparison.
