Another exclusive feature available to users of THM Racecards is our Visualiser. To access this feature, click on the "Visualiser" button above the horse name column on all racecards. So, what does it offer?
When entering the visualiser, you will notice there are 3 charts to choose from: Jockey 14-Day Win%, Trainer 14-Day Win% and the Horse Handicap Movement.
.
Jockey and Trainer 14-Day Win%
.
These charts allow you to view a rolling 14 day average win% for every jockey/trainer in the race. Each point plotted on the chart represents an average of the previous 14 days, so it is really useful for spotting trends and identifying jockeys or trainers who are in or out of form. A steep trajectory to the far right of the chart would indicate a hot string of form. Similarly, a steep downwards trajectory would indicate a jockey or trainer who has recently been struggling for winners. Identifying trainers and jockeys who are in form is incredibly important and must always be considered when making selections. Don't forget you can also view detailed jockey/trainer form metrics on the jockey/trainer tabs, located on the tab scroller on all THM racecards.

Horse Handicap Movement
.
THM's Handicap Visualiser elegantly displays all that's beautiful about a horse's handicap history, covering 2 main components:
- Dashed Line: This flat line indicates the current Official Rating of the horse.
- Green Line: This displays all previous handicap history for each race and the finishing position achieved in that race. You'll need to hover over each point to view the finishing position.
This allows you to identify horses that are progressive or (upwards trajectory) or regressing (downwards trajectory). It allows you to view how a horses handicap has changed over time in comparison to the handicap mark of today's race. Some progressive horses may improve a lot again, and others who have moved down in the handicap recently may bounce back - that's for you to decide!
