Which yards are in form right now?

The form14 column shows each yard's last 14 days, beside season runs, wins, Win %, place %

Which trainers have their horses ready first time out?

Fresh edge compares each yard's season debut Win % with its second-run Win % over ten seasons, and the verdict column marks yards that fire fresh or wait for run two.

Which yards have runners today?

The next-day runners column counts each tracked yard's declarations for today, and every yard name opens a full yard file with those runners listed.

How are the tracked yards chosen?

The top 40 NH and top 40 Flat yards are chosen by runners, so the biggest strings in Britain and Ireland each have a yard file.

Questions people ask

What is in a RaceWatch yard file?

Each yard file shows the season record, recent form, fresh edge, performance by race type and the yard's runners declared today. All 80 files are refreshed every morning.

What does string size mean?

String size is the number of different horses the yard has run this season.

Racing records

A yard above 1.00 has won more often than the market expected this season.

Why are some trainers listed under both codes?

Dual-purpose yards that run enough horses in both codes appear in both top 40 tables. Each code has its own yard file with its own season record.

How often do the yard figures change?

Season figures, 14-day form and today's runners update every morning. The ten-season fresh edge changes slowly because it rests on a decade of results.
