Default Trakus - Keeneland

At the web site below you can really see the wealth of info Trakus provides and I think it is very interesting in looking at races run.

For example, in yesterday's feature, Einstien (37.7 mph) ran 24 more feet and overall he was faster than Kip Deville (37.5 mph) yet his wider trip accounted for the loss, or made him further away. Makes you realize where jockey's do play a role.

I guess if you had the time you could spot horses that really could have been in there if it wasn't for a longer trip. I'm sure watching the race gives similar information but this nails it down to the exact numbers.

Interesting stuff......Anyone use it? Look at it?
