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

 

            ds = dirt sprint                        ts = turf sprint             os = off track sprint

dr = dirt route                         tr = turf route              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:

 

m1: ds
m1: ds early
m1: ds late		 Does not consider pace.
Favors early running horses.
Favors late running horses.

 

 

MRA Pace Profiles:

 

Again, there are separate sets of profiles for each race type including separate profiles for maiden and non-maiden races: They are further refined to the specific Race Pace Shape being run. Here is how to select the correct profile for a race.

 

Fast
Lone
Honest
Slow		 Use for fast pace races (ESP = “EEE” and “EE”).
Use for races with lone early runners (ESP = “E” and “EP and “EP-P”).
Use for honest pace races (ESP = “E-EP” and “EP-EP”).
Use for slow paced races (ESP: All other not listed above).

 

 

Reminder: You can use three different profiles for handicapping a race. ALL-Ways will handicap the race three times and show you the results for each profile used. A very effective way to use the three profile capability on Preakness weekend is as follows:

 

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