Hello,

I would like to know how to interupt the track variant for harness racing??? I see -9,-5,-3,8,5,9 in program but don't understand what that means. Is there a website that explains how to handicap harness racing.

Welcome laddie.. You might be better off starting a whole new thread in this section of the board and I guarntee you will get an answer.  There  are many astute handicappers here who would be able to accurately answer your question.

I'm not certain where you are seeing these -9, -5, etc. Could you explain more?

The Bigger the Negative number, the faster the track was playing that night. So if you were looking at the Meadowlands program on sat, you would of seen the Big M was rated a -10 the week before. It is the number they use to compute the horses actual speed rating for that night. The + numbers will mean the track was playing slow that night, 0 is what the track is considered normal for the class and the time of the year.


Gary, if you look at the program, it is the number listed right after the driver and in between that and the 3 horses that were 1st 2nd and 3rd.

Thanks buddy. I never blow the programs up enough to even read that number.

pezz97,

Thank you very much. I thought that was how it was interrupted but after reading some other programs I was confused. The Daily Racing Form is now selling HARNESS PAST PERFORMANCES and their explanation was confusing at least for me.

Again thank you very much
