Tractech supplies data to racing fans and punters based on the speed of all previous recorded races in Australia and New Zealand. We carefully apply appropriate statistical methodology to eliminate the variations in results caused by track conditions. The speed of each horse is statistically analysed and compared to all the other horses in a pending race and two factors are calculated.

The first the "A Rating" indicates the expected first horse in the race based on their average historical speeds. The second the "L Rating" indicates the expected results based on the horses recent form. The best rated horse gets a rating of zero and each other horse gets a number representing the predicted number of lengths behind the fastest rated horse (eg: 1.50 means one and a half lengths). A negative number in the L column is indicating that the horse has run better in recent form than the best rated average horse.

We do not use the trainer or pedigree or other factors so if a horse has no previous starts then we do not have a particularly good basis for prediction. We are continually reviewing and mathematically analysing the data to improve the predictive ability of our ratings. Currently our ratings are accurately predicting the winner in around 24% of races.

We only cover gallops. Maybe at some time in the future we will look at applying our methodology to harness and greyhounds but for now there are plenty of winners to be picked in thoroughbred racing. Once you purchase with us you are able to log on to our site anytime. You can then purchase data for the desired date range. This will give you access to predicted form for every thoroughbred race in Australasia. We include picnic meetings in our forecast (why wouldn't we, we are already collecting that data for our forecast).

We strongly believe that the data available from Tractech is the best available. Other predictive sites promise that their tips are not generated by computer. To us this is a definite weakness. We record and calculate based on every reported race in Australia and New Zealand including picnic meetings and trials. No person can comprehend, retain, analyse and calculate that volume of data with any accuracy. The formulae we use are based on sound solid statistical science and the resulting success rate of 24% is better than any of the other tipsters can sustain.

We encourage our skeptics and prospective customers to keep an eye on the free races on our front page. We think you'll find that the tips there are very good. We hope that after a period of winning a bit based on the free forecasts you'll join the rest of our happy customers and subscribe. Once you do you'll get access to the Meeting View which is ideal to print the forecasts for an entire meeting on one page and taking with you to the track or TAB.

As our data is our business and it costs us to provide this data it is obviously prohibited to re-publish our data or use it for any purpose other than your own personal punting. We don't mind you sharing a few tips with your friends (word of mouth is one of the best ways for new customers to find out just how good our data is!) but please don't copy the forecasts wholesale and distribute it.

Thanks for reading. Good luck and happy punting.
