TRAKUS is an electronic tracking system in use at KEE, DMR, and WO, that provides ACCURATE times, beaten lengths and ground covered. This is HUGE step up from the other tracks, where this data is provided by the chartmaker.

I generate the charts. They're simply a graph of the results charts. Isn't it puzzling, with all the different approaches to this game that NO ONE has actually taken the time to identify the different types of races and what they 'look like'? All the focus is on TIME, either final or splits, and on the INDIVIDUAL horse, rather than the WHOLE race. You'd think after identifying the different types of running styles for the horses, someone might move on to the race. Or better yet, START with the race and work to the horse.

I suppose, THIS abstraction (the graph) is just not as useful as a NUMERIC one (figures).
