Handicapping - Pedigree - History - Dosage

BUILT FOR THE RACE
We are a tight-knit community of passionate horseplayers who live for the thrill of the game.
United by our love for Thoroughbred racing, we dive deep into Graded Stakes battles all year long - with special focus on the exciting journey of Two-Year-Olds, the intense Derby Prep season, and the drama of the Triple Crown.
Our handicapping blends time-tested wisdom with sharp modern analysis. We draw inspiration from Dr. Steven Roman’s pioneering Dosage system; quantifying pedigree strengths to reveal a horse’s true aptitude and distance limitations.
We also add in the timeless philosophy of the great Federico Tesio, the legendary breeder who emphasized stamina, character, and the intangible spark that separates champions from the rest.
This special combination takes into consideration both the Chefs and the Reines for a more concise and accurate depiction of the horse's potential.
We then layer in key factors which include:
​
-
Pedigree and breeding insights
-
Pace projection
-
Track bias
-
Historical trends​
​
We build informed, edge-seeking opinions on who is truly BUILT FOR THE RACE.
