How to read our picks

Compare three perspectives

Scott Tobia Handicapping adds independent contender rankings alongside the two TIMESIM simulations. Scott’s ratings are relative scores, not win percentages or fair odds. Confirmed scratches promote the remaining horses in their saved order.

TIMESIM Original and TIMESIM 100 offer two views of each race. Use the tabs to compare their selections and confidence levels.

The race table

Win is the estimated chance of finishing first. Place includes first or second; Show includes the first three. Our odds indicate the price we consider fair for a win bet. Morning-line odds come from the race card and may differ from the odds at post time.

Scratches and reruns

Remove scratched horses before the race and rerun the field. Your personal selections do not replace the original published picks. Small variations between runs are normal.

Exotics and multi-race tickets

Exacta, trifecta and superfecta lists show the leading ordered combinations. Multi-race tickets use up to three selections per leg within a $64 budget, subject to the track’s wager minimums. Check the official program before betting.

These are estimates, not guaranteed outcomes. Consider the price and your budget before placing a wager.
