The AI-enabled and track-customized program had a good result in the 3rd at Aqueduct, a $20K clm. race run at 1 mi. on the dirt for three-year-olds, having the exacta order correct with its Primary selection of #7 Lotsa Trouble at 3-1 and Secondary selection of #6 Shipsational at 3-1 in a close finish. The $1. ex. (7-6) paid $11.15.
The AI-enabled program had the exacta order correct in the $150K Queens County Stakes at Aqueduct in race 8 (at 1 1/8 mi. on the dirt for three-year-olds) today with its primary selection of #4 Full Screen at 4-5 and Secondary Selection of #6 Cooke Creek at 5-1.
As hopefully a good omen for the TrackIQ Report for the Fair Grounds, the AI-enabled program had the winner with its primary selection of #5 Island Cabana at 9-5 in the 2nd race at the Fair Grounds, the first race covered in today’s first ever TrackIQ Report for the Fair Grounds. The program also had the ex. order correct in its top three selections with its Primary (#5 Island Cabana) and Tertiary selection of #2 Sylvester at 2-1.
A new feature has been added to the TrackIQ report, called “field risk”. It appears in the shaded race block and is a race-level measure that captures how unstable or unpredictable the entire field is, independent of any single horse. It reflects the distribution and dispersion of probabilities across the field—when many horses carry similar win chances, elevated volatility, or mixed profiles, field risk rises. In practical terms, high field risk signals that outcomes are more sensitive to pace disruptions, trip variance, or minor inefficiencies in the market, while low field risk indicates a more orderly race where the hierarchy is clearer. This metric adds context beyond pace alone, helping the report flag when confidence should be tempered and when pricing discipline matters most.
The Chaos Index, by contrast, is a barometer of disorder. It doesn’t describe the field’s balance—it signals how likely the race is to break away from expectations due to pace shocks, profile mismatches, or nonlinear outcomes. A race can have low field risk but a rising Chaos Index if something about the setup invites disruption, and vice versa.
Here’s how the feature appeared in TrackIQ report in the 8th at AQU, a race in which the program had the exacta order correct in reverse order with the Primary and Secondary selections of #6 Reliable Lade at 5-1 and #4 Mega Mil at 1-1. The $1. ex. paid $19.
