There are two other sets of Handicapping Profiles that can be used at any time for races at Belmont. These profiles all share the profile naming convention:

 

ds = dirt sprint
dr = dirt route 

 ts = turf sprint 
tr = turf route
in-tr = inner turf route		 os = off track sprint
or = off track route

                                                             

 

MRA Default Profiles:

 

There are three profiles for each race type including separate profiles for maiden and non-maiden races: Here is how to interpret the dirt sprint MRA Default profiles:

Profile Position #1
Profile Position #2
Profile Position #3		 Use the appropriate special Belmont Stakes weekend profile
Use the appropriate MRA Pace Profile
Use the appropriate non-pace MRA Default
