On Today’s Racing Digest, “race sheets” can refer to a few different products. The two main categories are:
- TRD Race Sheets (Projected Past Performances) — built to project how each horse fits today’s distance, surface, and class.
Available as Basic and Premium. - Thoroughbred Analytics Past Performances (Traditional Format) — more like what you’d see from DRF/Equibase/Bris style PPs.
Available as Basic and Premium.
Option A (Most Common): Find Today’s Race Sheets by Track
If you know the track you’re playing, this is the easiest way to see everything available for that track today.
- Click Picks by Track in the main navigation.
- Select your track from the dropdown menu.
- On the track page, scroll down to the product section (or use the “Full-Card Picks & TRD Products” quick link when available).
- Look for the race sheets or past performances you want (TRD or TA).
- Select the race date in the product grid.
- Click the blue ADD SELECTED TO CART button.
Tip: You can select multiple dates first, then click ADD SELECTED TO CART once.
Option B (Fastest): Find Today’s Race Sheets by Product Type
If you already know which type of race sheet you want (TRD Basic /Premium, or TA Past Performances Basic/Premium),
this is usually faster than scrolling a track page.
- Click Handicapping Products in the main navigation.
- Select the product you want from the dropdown.
- At the top of the product page, choose your track and race date.

The only exceptions may be races that are not thoroughbred events (such as hurdles or other specialty race types), which may not be included in certain reports.
Important Clarification About Selective Products
Some products are designed to focus only on the strongest betting opportunities rather than covering every race:
- Thoroughbred Analytics Best Bets
- Thoroughbred Analytics Key Factors Reports
- Certain Expert Handicapper selections
These reports may highlight only select races identified as the best wagering opportunities across one or multiple tracks.
