The E-Z Win® Form

Our E-Z Win® Form rates every horse in every race across 90+ racing tracks in the United States and Canada. Each horse is assigned to a color-coded tier based on our proprietary analysis:

Within each tier, horses are ranked from best to worst, giving you a clear picture of the competitive landscape in every race.

How Our Ratings Work

Meet Horstradamus® — our proprietary rating engine that analyzes dozens of factors for each horse, including:

• •Past performance across multiple races, distances, and conditions
• •Proprietary Speed Figures adjusted for track variant and surface
• •Pedigree analysis evaluating bloodlines for distance, surface, and condition preferences
• •Class analysis comparing current competition level to prior races
• •Workout quality evaluating recent training patterns and highlighting monster workouts
• •Surface preferences factoring in dirt, turf, and synthetic track performance
• •Condition adjustments for current track conditions (fast, muddy, firm, yielding, and more)
• •Jockey and trainer statistics at the current track and meet

The result is a comprehensive rating that accounts for far more variables than most handicappers can track manually — distilled into an easy-to-read format that saves you hours of research.

Our Story

WinningPonies was founded in 2005 by a team of handicapping professionals and software engineers with a shared belief: great handicapping shouldn't require a degree in statistics. What started as a passion project has grown into one of the most trusted handicapping services in the industry — and along the way, Horstradamus® was born: our proprietary rating engine that sees what others miss.

For over two decades, we've been refining our algorithms and expanding our coverage. Our goal is to make expert-level analysis accessible to everyone — from the casual weekend bettor to the serious daily player.
