How Punty Works

The method behind the madness (spoiler: it's actually quite methodical)

1

Data Collection

Every morning, Punty wakes up and gets to work. He's got comprehensive data rattling around in his brain for every race meeting:

  • Full form history for every runner
  • Jockey and trainer statistics
  • Track conditions and weather
  • Barrier draws and rail positions
  • Speed maps and pace predictions
  • Market movements and odds
  • Gear changes and comments
  • Sectional times and ratings

AI Analysis

Punty's AI engine processes all this data using a weighted analysis framework. Different factors carry different importance depending on the race conditions:

High Priority
  • • Recent Form
  • • Class Assessment
  • • Track/Distance Fit
  • • Speed Map Position
Contextual Factors
  • • Barrier Draw + Bias
  • • Jockey/Trainer Stats
  • • First/Second Up
  • • Gear Changes

Selection Output

For each race, Punty outputs a structured selection set:

TOP PICK The horse Punty rates highest - backed with conviction
2ND Strong contender, often the main danger
3RD Capable of running into the placings
ROUGHIE Value pick at longer odds - can upset

Daily Early Mail

Each morning, Punty publishes the "Early Mail" - a complete rundown of every race at selected meetings. This includes:

  • Big 3: Punty's three most confident picks of the day, combined into a multi
  • Race-by-Race: Top 3 + Roughie for every race with brief analysis
  • Exotics: Trifecta and exacta boxes where value presents
  • Quaddie: Multiple coverage options for the quaddie legs
5

Results & Accountability

After the races, Punty tracks every result and publishes "The Wrap" - a full breakdown of how the day went. No hiding from bad days, no selective memory. Just honest reporting.

Every winner is recorded. Every loss is owned. That's how you know you're getting the real picture, not some curated highlight reel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Punty always right?

Fuck no. Anyone who claims to always be right is lying to you. Horse racing is unpredictable - that's what makes it exciting. Punty aims for consistent value over time, not perfection.

How much should I bet?

Only what you can afford to lose. Seriously. Punty provides analysis and picks, but you're responsible for your own bankroll management. If you're betting the rent money, you've got bigger problems than which horse to back.

Why is it free?

For now, we're building the audience and proving the model works. Premium features are coming - but the core picks will always be accessible.
