Meeting Pace is the eighth tool in the RaceMetrics Sectionals suite. Where Predicted Running Styles forecasts a single race before it runs, Meeting Pace is the after-the-racing view of an entire card — built from sectional data, it shows how a whole meeting's pace played out.
What it shows
Select a meeting and Meeting Pace displays two layers of information. At the top is the meeting's overall read: how many races were won from off the pace, and whether there was a draw bias across the flat races on the card. Below that, every race on the card is summarised with its own pace label — such as "Closer's Race" — and a colour-coded bar showing how each furlong ran against par (green for faster, red for slower).
At Royal Ascot, for example, the meeting read as a Closer's Day (four of six races won from off the pace) with a High Draw Bias (six of seven flat winners drawn high). The Royal Hunt Cup was flagged a Closer's Race within that card.
How to use it
Because it is built from sectional data, Meeting Pace is a post-racing review — it reads how a card actually played once the races have been run. The bias badges show which patterns dominated the day; the per-race labels show which races the pace shaped. It is the fastest way to spot a meeting that rode with a strong pace or draw bias — context that sharpens how you read that track, and those horses, next time.
In this way, a full card's racing can be reviewed in about thirty seconds.
