Runner Comments
1 Dornoch Got the campaign off to a strong start winning when fresh. Has genuine early speed and expect to lead/box seat having drawn the rails. One for wider exotics.
2 Sierra Leone Winner of last two at Keeneland and Fair Grounds. Expect to lead/box seat with a favourable draw. Not out of it.
3 Mystik Dan Has two wins from six attempts this campaign and should find the lead easily having drawn well. Capable of racing on speed. Place chance.
4 Catching Freedom Let-up for six weeks. Coming off a win at Fair Grounds and two wins from four attempts this campaign. Winning chance.
5 Catalytic Flying start to career. Has a lot of early speed. One for wider exotics.
6 Just Steel Has won at Churchill Downs and placed three times this campaign. Has plenty of early speed and a likely leader. Rough claims.
7 Honor Marie Back from let-up. Has a lot of early speed and has outstanding form at this track. Forward showing no surprise.
8 Just A Touch Flying start to career. Has genuine early speed. Chance.
10 T O Password Back from let-up and has won both races so far. Outside hope.
11 Forever Young Back from 20 week spell and having first run for a new trainer. Won at Kyoto in first outing. Ideally suited.
12 Track Phantom Returns from six week let-up and three wins from five attempts this campaign. Has genuine early speed. Hard to go past.
13 West Saratoga Let-up for six weeks and has won or placed in all races to date. Capable of racing on speed. Capable of getting into the money.
14 Endlessly Let-up and unbeaten so far. Has plenty of early speed and a likely leader. Expect to be right up there.
15 Domestic Product Let-up and has won or placed in all three races so far. Has genuine early speed. Knockout hope.
16 Grand Mo The First Has been flying of late. Has genuine early speed and Emisael Jaramillo has a strike rate of 33% for this trainer. Knockout hope.
17 Fierceness Hasn't run a bad race. Has a lot of early speed. Expect to be right up there.
18 Stronghold Can't knock the form winning two in a row at Santa Anita and Sunland Park. Looks the leader. Forward showing no surprise.
19 Resilience Coming off a win at Aqueduct. Looks the leader and in strong form with two wins from four attempts this campaign. Sneaky chance.
20 Society Man Winner at Aqueduct and placed twice this prep. Has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Looks the leader. Rough claims.
21 Epic Ride Has been flying of late and has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. One of the main hopes.

Compare runner speed with Sectional times

Sectional times are exclusive to Punters+ members.

Sectional times are used to understand exactly how fast horses travelled in their past races, broken down into 200m increments. Sectional times can help to compare horses which are yet to race against each other and also compare which horses perform well in certain sections of a race.

The Key Benefits of Using the Sectional Times

Sectional times allow you to compare each horse’s early, mid and late speed throughout a race to help you assess how the race may play out.

Review speeds in specific conditions

Punters sectional times allow you to filter previous runs according to distance, track condition, track and number of runs so that you can try and get the most accurate time prediction possible.

Isolate runs for more accuracy

You can also manually exclude specific runs from a horse’s time prediction if you believe that it is impacting the time prediction in a negative way.
