Most of our products include the entire race card for the selected track and date (excluding any non-thoroughbred races such as hurdles, if applicable).
Some specialty products — such as Thoroughbred Analytics Best Bets, Key Factors Reports, or certain Expert selections — may focus only on races identified as the strongest betting opportunities rather than every race on the card.

Posting & Availability
Posting times depend on the product.
- Thoroughbred Analytics products and TRD Basic Race Sheets are typically available as soon as entries are posted.
- TRD Complete Digest and included products are usually posted 24–48 hours prior to post time.
- Expert Handicapper Tip Sheets are generally available the night before race day.
Our target is approximately 36 hours before post time, but posting time may vary depending on the number of tracks running and the size of the race cards. The Southern California edition is typically posted 2 days prior to post time due to our printing and delivery deadlines. In some cases, products may be posted the night before races begin.
If you don’t see a product listed for today, it is usually due to one of the following reasons:
1. The Track Is Not Running
Some tracks are dark on certain days or between meets.
If the track is not running, products will not be listed.
2. The Races Were Cancelled
Occasionally, race cards are cancelled after entries are posted.
Common reasons include:
- Severe weather (rain, lightning, extreme heat, unsafe track conditions)
- Equipment or infrastructure failure
- Power outages
- Track safety concerns
- State or regulatory decisions
If races are cancelled, products for that card may be removed or not posted.
3. Coverage Is Not Offered for That Card
Not all tracks or race days have full coverage.
Some products (such as Complete Digest, Enhanced, or Premium Race Sheets) may only be available for select tracks or feature race days.
4. The Product Has Not Been Posted Yet
Posting times vary depending on the product:
- Thoroughbred Analytics products and
TRD Basic Race Sheets are typically available once entries are posted. - Enhanced, Premium, and Complete Digest products
are generally posted 24–48 hours before post time. - Some products may be released the night before race day.
If you expect a product and don’t see it yet, it may still be in preparation. Please refresh the page and check back later.
If you believe a product should be available but isn’t listed, feel free to contact support and we’ll assist you.

How to Check Availability

- Select Complete Digest.
- View the available tracks and dates listed in the product grid.

A featured track is one where we are providing expanded coverage for that race day.
This may include products such as:
- Complete Digest
- Enhanced or Premium Race Sheets
- Feature previews (first four races from select products)
- Free Featured Race of the Day
Featured tracks typically receive deeper analysis and additional tools compared to tracks with basic coverage.
Product availability depends on the track and race day.
Most tracks offer full-card coverage, but some specialty products may only be available on select race days or major events.
You can view available products by selecting your track under Picks by Track and choosing your race date.
Yes. For every track we cover, we provide the Basic Race Sheets for Race 3 free each day.

We also offer several other ways to explore our products:
- On featured tracks where we publish a Complete Digest, we may provide the first four races from one of our feature products (such as Quick Picks, Fast Figs, Fractional Charting, or Consensus).
- A Free Featured Race of the Day, which represents what we believe to be the strongest betting opportunity on that card. This can be found directly on the track page and is also available as a free PDF download.
- Periodic full-card Best Bets and race rankings published as Race Preview articles.

Free content may vary depending on the track and day, but there is always an opportunity to preview our approach and analysis.
You can find the free content on either the relevant track picks page or Handicapper Product Page
Understanding Products
Not exactly. Race Sheets (Basic and Premium) are projected past performances
and analysis tools. The Complete Digest is the full-card publication that matches the printed version sold on track and at retail locations.
If you want the exact printed Digest, select Complete Digest.
Fast Figs are proprietary performance ratings developed by Today’s Racing Digest that combine class, pace, and speed into a single predictive figure.
They are designed to help you quickly identify competitive horses in a race without needing to analyze multiple data points separately.
Fast Figs are especially useful for ranking contenders and spotting potential value plays based on projected performance.
Fractional Charting breaks a race down by projected pace at each point of call — early, middle, and late — based on our proprietary class and par-time standards.
Instead of focusing only on final speed, it helps you understand how a race is likely to unfold and which running styles fit today’s projected pace scenario.
It is commonly used to evaluate pace matchups, identify potential pace collapses, and analyze race flow before wagering.
Consensus combines the selections of Today’s Racing Digest handicappers into a ranked 1-2-3 format for each race.
Each race highlights the top contender based on a point system, along with secondary selections that can be used for multi-race wagers and exotic tickets.
Consensus is designed for players who want clear, streamlined picks without reviewing full race sheet analysis.
Today’s Racing Digest, Thoroughbred Analytics, and Expert Handicapping products are three different types of handicapping tools available on our site.
Today’s Racing Digest Products
These are our proprietary projected past performances and analysis tools, including Basic and Premium Race Sheets, Quick Picks, Fast Figs, Fractional Charting, Consensus, Post Position Winners by Size of Field, Track Profile, Track Variants and the Complete Digest which bundles them all into one download.
Thoroughbred Analytics Products
These are data-driven reports and traditional-format past performances generated using analytical models. They include Best Bets, Key Factors Reports, and Premium or Basic Past Performances.
Expert Handicapping Products
These are selections and analysis provided by independent handicappers who focus on specific races or betting opportunities.
Each product type uses a different approach and format, so be sure to select the one that best fits your handicapping style.
Fast Figs, Fractional Charting, and Consensus are three different handicapping tools, each designed for a specific purpose.
Fast Figs
Fast Figs provide a single performance rating that combines class, pace, and speed into one number. They are primarily used to quickly rank contenders in a race.
Fractional Charting
Fractional Charting focuses on projected pace and race flow. It helps you understand how a race is likely to unfold at each call and which running styles fit the expected scenario.
Consensus
Consensus summarizes the top selections from Today’s Racing Digest handicappers into a clear 1-2-3 ranking format for each race.
In Simple Terms
- Fast Figs = Performance ranking tool
- Fractional Charting = Pace and race-shape analysis
- Consensus = Handicappers’ top selections
Many players use one tool, while others combine them depending on their handicapping style.
If you’re new, the “best” product depends on how hands-on you want to be:
- Most beginner-friendly (expert selections): Tip Sheets — straightforward picks from our handicappers with minimal analysis required.
- Fast + simple overview: Quick Picks — an easy-to-read summary so you can make decisions quickly.
- Combined rankings shortcut: Consensus — a simplified view that blends multiple TRD angles into one reference point.
- Best for learning and improving: Basic Race Sheets (TRD) — our projected past performances that show how each horse fits today’s conditions.
If you want someone to narrow the field for you: start with Tip Sheets.
If you want a quick overview without too much detail: use Quick Picks.
If you want to improve and understand why horses fit: add Premium Race Sheets.
How to buy: Click Picks by Track, choose your track, then select your race date in the product grid and click ADD SELECTED TO CART.
No. Most customers do not use every product.
Each product serves a different purpose, so what you need depends on how you handicap:
- Want expert picks only? Tip Sheets may be enough.
- Want a fast summary view? Quick Picks or Consensus can work on their own.
- Want deeper analysis? Premium Race Sheets provide full projected past performances.
- Want advanced pace or figure analysis? Add Fast Figs, Fractional Charting or Pace Pals.
Many players start with one core product and add others only if they want more detail.
You can purchase products individually by race date, so there’s no requirement to buy everything.
Most customers choose the Complete Digest because it delivers a comprehensive view of the race in one product.
- Most Popular / All-in-One: Complete DigestThe Complete Digest was designed specifically for horseplayers. It covers the key handicapping angles in one place and provides a 360-degree view of the race, making it both effective and easy to use without combining multiple separate products.
- Core Analysis Combo: Premium Race Sheets + Quick PicksPremium Race Sheets include full race analysis, horse comments, projected running styles, fastest closers, projected speed and early/late pace figures, simplified race class levels, and race profiles for running styles and favorites.
Adding Quick Picks provides betting and exotic guidance. If you prefer a second opinion, you can substitute or add one of the Expert Tip Sheets.
- Pace-Focused Players: Fractional Charting + Fast FigsFractional Charting helps evaluate internal pace and race flow, while Fast Figs highlight speed and class strength. This combination is ideal for players who build wagers around pace and figure analysis.
You can purchase products individually by race date, so you can choose the approach that fits your strategy.

About TRD
Today’s Racing Digest has been publishing every race day since 1970.
TRD has a long history of providing race analysis and handicapping tools designed specifically for serious players. Our products have evolved over time, but the focus has always been on delivering practical, data-driven insights for bettors.
Traditional past performances show what happened in previous races — final times, running positions, and basic speed figures.
TRD Figures go a step further by interpreting how those performances relate to today’s race conditions.
Instead of simply listing raw historical data, TRD Figures are designed to account for factors such as projected pace, class level, and race setup to provide a clearer view of how a horse fits today.
The goal is not just to show what happened in the past, but to help evaluate how that performance translates into the current race.
How We Track and Report Results
All results published on TodaysRacingDigest.com are calculated using $2 hypothetical base wagers. Posted payouts reflect the gross return of winning combinations only and do not deduct the cost of wagers or include losing tickets.
We use this standardized approach because:
- We do not recommend that customers play every possible wager in every race.
- Bettors structure tickets in different ways and at different investment levels.
- Multiple wagering combinations can produce the same payout while requiring different total amounts wagered.
- We cannot determine how any individual user structured or funded their tickets.
Our results therefore reflect all possible $2 base payouts generated using our top four selections. Horses ranked 5 and 6 are used only if one or more of the top four selections are scratched.
We report potential returns for the following wager types:
- Win / Place / Show
- Exacta / Trifecta / Superfecta
- Daily Double
- Pick 3
- Pick 4
- Pick 5
- Pick 6
This method of reporting—using standardized $2 base wager payouts without adjusting for ticket cost—is the industry norm among racing analysis and tip sheet providers.
All published win payout results are based on a $2 win bet on the top pick/figure for each product. When multiple horses share the same high figure we use the horse with highest Fast Fig to break the tie. If multiple horses shared the same high figure and Fast Fig then the horse, from that group, with the highest CPR would be chosen. When calculating Fast Figs and multiple horses share the same high Fast Fig we use the horse with the highest FNLRAT to break the tie.
