About Hoof Metrics
At Hoof Metrics, we're a research team of racing analysts and data scientists with a single obsession: Australian thoroughbred racing.
We believe that in today's mountain of form data, there's a smarter, more effective way to find a genuine edge. Our mission is to give both serious and everyday punters access to the same level of sophisticated analysis that the big professional syndicates use, levelling the playing field.
Our Approach: Blending Form and Data
Good punting has always been part art, part science. We respect the art – the feel for a horse, the eye for a good trial – but our focus is on mastering the science. We've built a system from the ground up that combines two powerful elements:
1. Data-Driven Modelling
Our models sift through millions of data points from thousands of past races. They don't just look at who won; they analyse hundreds of variables to find the hidden factors that actually influence a race's outcome. This allows us to generate objective, data-backed probabilities for every runner, free from market hype or emotion.
2. AI-Powered Race Analysis
Numbers alone don't tell the whole story. Every race is a unique event. We use modern AI to analyse the specific context of each race – the predicted pace, the speed map dynamics, and the impact of the track conditions on the day. This adds a layer of strategic insight that highlights which horses are likely to be advantaged or disadvantaged by how the race will be run.
By blending our quantitative modelling with this qualitative AI analysis, we get a far clearer picture of a horse's true chances.
What You Get
We believe in proving our value, which is why a huge part of our core analysis is provided completely free.
Free Daily Analysis
Every day, for every Australian thoroughbred meeting, we publish our AI-powered analysis. This includes:
- Meeting Summaries: A strategic overview of the day's conditions, including our analysis of the track, potential bias, and the key factors to look for across the card.
