EquiAnalytix Speed Ratings
The backbone signal behind our dashboard, blogs and raceday decisions.
Why speed alone isn’t enough
Raw times vary by track, weather and pace shape. Our ratings correct for those distortions so you’re comparing like for like across courses and distances.
- Normalised finishing time per distance
- Going/surface adjustments
- Pace profile (true-run vs false-run)
- Course configuration effects
- Draw bias (esp. sprints/turns)

Trend spotting
76 → 82 → 88 signals an improver not yet fully priced by the market.
Fade the hype
96 → 90 → 84 on a short-priced favourite often flags vulnerability.
Cross-track sanity
Fairly compare Kempton AW to Newbury turf using the same scale.
