Proform Race Guides: Benchmarks vs Filters — Help Guide

Understanding the Two-Row Comparison

When you apply a filter in Proform Race Guides, each runner's statistics display in two rows: Benchmark and Filtered.

Benchmark shows career-wide data across all of a runner's starts. Filtered shows data only from races matching your filter criteria.

How This Works in Practice

Apply a filter — by track, going, distance, race class, or any other parameter — and the Race Guides data tabs immediately recalculate. The Benchmark row remains constant; the Filtered row updates to reflect only the subset of races you've selected.

This side-by-side format lets you see whether a runner's form improves or declines under specific conditions.

Using Filters Effectively

  • Compare Benchmark to Filtered to identify course specialists or distance preferences
  • Filter by going to assess performance on firm, good, or soft ground
  • Filter by class to spot horses that raise their game (or drop off) at certain levels
  • Combine multiple filters to isolate exact race types
