Questions people ask
How many days off counts as a returner?
A horse counts as a returner when it runs after 120 or more days off or makes its first run of the season. Both groups are shown together and the Returning column says which applies.
When is Ready or Not updated?
The page rebuilds every morning once the day's declarations are published. Returners and debutants change daily, while each yard's ten-season fresh record moves only as new results arrive.
What is a yard's fresh edge?
Fresh edge is the yard's Win % with season debutants minus its Win % with the same horses on their second run. A positive figure means the yard's horses have tended to be ready first time.
Does Ready or Not cover the Flat and jumps?
Both codes are covered, with separate National Hunt and Flat tabs for returners. Career debutants from both codes sit in one table with a code column.
Why do some yards show few fresh runs?
The runs column shows exactly how many fresh runners sit behind each figure.
