BREEZE INTELLIGENCE
Every buyer at the under-tack show sees the same clock. ThoroughByte goes deeper — our model synthesizes 20+ data points from each breeze into a single 0–100 score, normalizing for environmental variables and isolating the true athletic signal — delivered before sale day.
WHAT WE BUILT
Every horse that breezes at an under-tack show generates data far richer than the clock time posted on the board. ThoroughByte captures multiple performance dimensions from each breeze and runs them through a composite model that accounts for environmental noise, sex-specific baselines, and distance benchmarks.
The output is a single score (0–100) and a tier classification — ELITE, STRONG, ABOVE AVG, AVERAGE, BELOW AVG, or WEAK — that tells you where a horse stands relative to the entire sale population. No opinions. No pedigree bias. Just the athletic signal extracted from the breeze itself.
Pedigree page and a clock time. No context for track variant, session depth, stride mechanics, or environmental conditions.
THE PROOF
We tracked 1,474 horses from the 2024 OBS March and April sales through 18 months of racing. Every rating was generated before any horse entered a starting gate. Here's what happened.
ELITE horses earned $137,780 on average — 8.3x the $16,536 earned by WEAK.
Percentage of starters that won at least one race.
Stakes-quality performance drops from 31% to 0%.
10 of 12 Graded Stakes Winners came from our top two tiers. Zero from BELOW AVG or WEAK.
Graded Stakes Winners from ELITE + STRONG
These two tiers represent only 24% of the population but produced 83% of the graded stakes winners.
Horses binned into deciles by algorithm score. The top decile averaged $138K with 14 stakes winners.
FINDING ALPHA
A "Market Miss" is a horse rated ELITE or STRONG that sold for $100K or less but went on to earn more than $50K on the track. In 2024, the algorithm flagged 36 of them. Here are the top 10.
