The Virtual Spectator Horse Race Analyser is one of the more innovative enhancement products to come to televised horse racing in years.

The Analyser is a 3 Dimensional Horse Race simulator that allows the television broadcaster to run a "virtual" race on screen prior to the actual race being run.

Each race track in meticulously surveyed and then exact computer replicas of the track and surrounds are recreated to give the viewer an unprecedented appreciation of each race prior to the start.

The Horse Race Analyser is a combination of Virtual Spectator's Track Bias Simulator and it's By-a-Nose products and predicts place getters for each race using the following variables:

Track Condition
Rail Placement
Barrier Number
Weather Conditions
Jockey Weight
Horse Form

The viewer will experience a rich graphical interface that not only displays a real-time virtual reality trip around the track but 2 worm graphs showing track contour and track camber.

It is surprising how much slope there is on metropolitan race tracks and that slope can have a significant impact on the horses performance taking into account all of the variables outlined above.

At the completion of the virtual race, the system will then select the 3 horses it considers most likely to run a place.

The Analyser cannot guarantee any results but in testing, the system has produced some positive and enlightening outcomes.

During the 2000 Caulfield Cup for instance, whilst in use by Australia's Nine TV Network, the Analyser picked Diatribe to win, successfully outwitting the experts.

Like all of Virtual Spectator VR products, both 16:9 wide screen and 4:3 outputs are selectable.

The Horse Race Analyser now includes:

Jockey and Horse Profiles
Integration with Virtual Spectator Real Time Weather Station
Race Record Time Clock
Predicted Horse Positions throughout simulation
Ability to switch from Jockeys view to Spectator View
Major Distance Markers
Comparison Window of Days Performance

and more....
