The Metrics tab pulls sectional data for every runner into a single colour-coded table. Best values in each column are shaded green; worst values red. Every header sorts, and hovering any column explains what it measures.
The table displays finishing position and distance to the winner, followed by the upgrade block. This includes acceleration times — how long each horse took to reach five, ten, twenty, twenty-five and thirty miles per hour from the gate — run-out speed two seconds past the line, top speed, stride length and frequency.
Finding the upgrades
Max Upgrade shows the biggest gain in pounds a horse could have made by running one of the last four sections more efficiently. This flags horses that were stopped, checked, or went too hard early and faded late. Lengths and Position after Upgrade re-rank the finish as if every horse had run to its efficient best.
A horse finishing sixth but upgrading to a clear second ran far better than the bare result. The Change columns show how far each runner climbs in the upgraded finish order.
The Upgrades tab
This view focuses solely on horses with the most to gain. It flags the specific sections where each horse had more to give and totals the gains. In a 28-runner race like the Royal Hunt Cup, Upgrades identifies closers buried in midfield who met trouble in the cavalry charge — beaten on the day, but worth following next time.
