Q. Can I see a sample report?

A. Yes. Please view our sample report to see a report. It is a PDF file. Reports are available in PDF or HTML formats and a print-friendly format from the web.

Q. Do you have a User Guide to help me understand more about the data and the report?

A. Yes. Please view our on-line User Guide. It is a PDF file containing a lot of background on CASE and information about the different CASE numbers.

Q. Are there other examples of your technology?

A. The foundation of CASE is a proprietary equine biomechanic technology that is in the same family as our affiliates have been using for years. Monticule farm and EQUIX Biomechanics are affiliated companies of Case The Race and are pioneers in the field of equine biomechanics. Using proprietary technology, which is the foundation of Case The Race's special handicapping technology, the Monticule farm (using Equix technology) has massively out performed the industry in producing winners. You can read more about our affiliate results.

Q. How do you collect the data?

A. Though CASE is fundamentally rooted in science and technology, and utilizes advanced hardware and software to produce the data you eventually use; the first step in the process is intensely human. A trained Specialist analyzes, scrutinizes, and pours over a race tape. Specialists from around the world are employed to do this incredibly detailed analytic work. With over 50 individual observations per horse for each race, it can take up to 8 hours for a trained individual to perform their analysis on a single race. Many of our Specialists have spent a lifetime working with horses. And though they are "horse people" through and through, it can still take up to six months of intensive training before an analyst can make the critical observations that CASE requires.

Q. Do you use statistical software to produce the data?

A. As is mentioned above, the first part of the process is data collecton which is a very specialized labor intensive effort. After that we use a variety of proprietary analytic techniques and software, much of which involves statistics, to produce the final data that you use.

Q. What are the four C-A-S-E indices?

A. They stand for Coordination, Aerobic Efficiency, Stride Quality, and Endurance.

Q. How do you define "Coordination"?

A. When we measure Coordination we measure the efficiency of the horses' movement - efficiency of movement can preserve and focus energy, allowing the horse to translate more of their potential on that day into a good result.

Q. How do you define "Aerobic Efficiency"?

A. When we measure Aerobic Efficiency we are looking at the efficiency of a horses' breathing (the effort required to breathe versus the amount of air inhaled). Supplying oxygen and removing carbon dioxide are crucial elements in determining the success of any many athletic endeavors but especially horse races.

Q. How do you define "Stride Quality"?

A. When we measure Stride Quality we are building on the industry standard measure of stride length and taking this to a new level, utilizing more factors to provide a measure of the effectiveness and efficiency of stride, not simply how long it is. We emphasize that stride length is not the only measure, because we don't think that it is complete. To borrow an example from the NBA, if you put a bunch of 7 footers in a race (longest strides), up against the guards, we would be on the guards every time regardless of the distance of the race.

Q. How do you define "Endurance"?

A. When we measure Endurance we are measuring the competitiveness of a horse's effort on that day, often referred to as "heart" or "gameness".

Q. Is there any info you can provide about how you measure coordination, aerobic efficiency, stride quality, endurance?

A. We analyze race video and use a proprietary approach that captures numerous measurements that make up each rating.

Q. How should I bet with CASE?

A. One answer is provided by an early tester of CASE data. "I personally tend to mainly play the pick 4. I have found that the best use for me is to use my traditional handicapping method which involves many factors such as the Beyer, projected pace, success at distance, jockey/trainer, recent form, and workouts etc. Then I cross reference the CASE report and include horses that have the highest ratings that I overlooked. This has pointed me to horses I wouldn't have played and I've landed a couple of long-shots this way. I have also noticed that the highest rated horses hit the board quite often. I don't personally play trifectas or superfectas, but I think that the CASE data would be very helpful for these players to find live longshots not only for the Win but underneath as well." We would love to hear how you are using CASE data, please share your story with us. As we have said before, we are astounded at the ingenuity of horseplayers, and we would be very interested to know how you are using the data.

Q. Is your analysis all thru race replays or do you set up cameras at the race track?

A. The measurements are all captured through replays.

Q. Do you video workouts for fts?

A. This would be of great value and take a lot of the mystery out of these races. We will investigate possibilities of doing this, but currently we do not.

Q. Do you physically measure the horses heart patterns (ultrasound) like your sister company does when vetting the horse prior to recommendation at the sales?

A. There are no cardiovascular measurements used in our process.

Q. Will this be available for all tracks?

A. Our product will initially be available only for California racetracks. We will be adding additional tracks in the future as we build up our database.

Q. Do you have archive data for prior horses for purchase where I can measure the current horses with past horses?

A. We do not currently have a plan to have data for prior horses available. This may be a product focus for future Case The Race data products (initially California focused).
