Don't be discouraged by the apparently complicated numbers in the racing program. Fortunately, we keep track of how a driver is doing for you. Right next to his name, we list his statistics at this track. Any number over .300 is considered excellent. Next, let's see how the horse's average stacks up.
Good horses are able to perform well week after week.
In the racing program, we keep track of that, too. In the upper right-hand portion of each horse's past performances, we list the fastest winning mile of the year, number of starts, wins, seconds, thirds, and money won for this year and last. The bottom line is his career summary, showing how old he was when he won the fastest race of his career and how much money he has earned thus far in his career. Now, let's see how he stacks up versus the competition. Thus, the purse will be our key to class.
