These programs involve algorithms that take all race-related variables into account, distribute values to each and reference info from previous races to study chances and come up likely winners.

The variables the programs consider include the class of the horse, its breed, its track record of wins and losses, its sex and age, its workouts, its running style and history and the performance record of its jockey.

The class of race alludes to the quality of competition a horse will be facing in a specified race. Obviously, the horse?s prospects of winning the race go up or come down in direct relation to his movement up or down in class. A horse?s breed will be suggestive of his stamina and his suitability for short distance or long distance races. The breed may also be an indication of whether the horse performs better on dirt tracks or turf.

Horseracing programs also consider the horse?s sex, while exceptions always do exist, male horses usually have way higher win odds than female ones.

The horse?s age is another part the programs consider. Like its human counterparts, the racing horse?s performance begins to decline after it has achieved its ?peak? and passed its prime.

The type and intensity of work-outs of a race horse and the time lapse since its last race are other factors taken into account by these programs.

Other variables include the performance records of the jockey and the trainer.
