Horse Racing · The ANCHOR Engine
ANCHOR reads six layers — and tells you how confident it is in the read.
PaceMap publishes race shape analysis for British and Irish racing, generated by the ANCHOR engine. Anchored private ratings, parsed form, preference, pace, draw bias and measured uncertainty — every race, every meeting, published the evening before.
The Engine
Six analytical layers, applied in order, every race, every meeting. Each layer corrects the read of the one before. Click any layer to read the method behind it.
Built run by run from the horses each runner actually met.
The in-running prose, parsed for what figures cannot carry.
Going, trip, course shape against each horse's evidence.
Race shape modelled before the runners leave the stalls.
Confidence in proportion to the evidence underneath.
Draw bias and other track-level factors, measured properly.
Each horse's rating is rebuilt run by run from the horses it has actually met, with chain depth, recency and run quality all weighted. The figure carries its working, not just its number.
Pace is not commentary written after the race. It is a rating factor applied before. Race shape is classified from the runners declared, and each runner's rating moves with the shape.
Every projected rating carries a band. A narrow band is a rating that earns its number. A wide band is the engine being honest about evidence it does not have.
The full analysis goes live the night before racing, so you arrive informed rather than guessing. PaceMap does not publish selections. What the engine produces is context, not advice.
