I don’t know if this is the right place to put this question, but I can’t figure out what all the abbreviations mean. I’m thinking it might be helpful to understand it, so thanks to whomever decodes this for me. 
It can be a little confusing at first. I am going on 2 yrs and sometimes it still confuses me 
LBS - weight of jockey inc tack
Odds - the betting odds of each horse at start of race
PP - Post position for each horse. The gate # they ran from.
2F - 1st distance time and location of horse during race
4F - Where horse is located at a 1/2(8F = 1 mile) mile
Finish - where horse finished race at 5.5F
Equip - various equipment worn by horses if any
SF - Speed figure. How the race was “ranked” by comparison to similar races.
Nose, Head, Neck - he was ahead of the horse behind him by a “nose”, “Head”, “Neck”
when it shows #'s. Those are lengths. A length is a horse’s body length. So if a horse wins by 5, that means there were 5 body lengths between him and 2nd place.
Dead Heat - means the horses were exactly even at that point in the race with another horse.
DNF - Did Not Finish - is a code thing as a horse cannot DNF at 2F and still finish the race.
When you read it more, you can start seeing if your horse wants a longer distance. IF these were my horses, this is what I would consider doing with them. Also taking into consideration of the horse’s past races to.
“Noble Tiger” was making up ground at the end of the race but ran out of “turf” to win. So, if that was my horse, I might race him next at a little longer distance. Maybe 6F to 8F and see how he does.
“Court Jester” was at a Dead Heat at 4F and finished 2nd. So, maybe next out, I might try 5F and see how he does.
“I got Chocolate” was last all the way, so maybe I will try a longer distance on the Turf, like 8F or longer. Could be that he has long legs and it takes him a mile to unwind them. If he still doesn’t like the Turf, I would switch to dirt and try him there. Then play with equipment on both surfaces IF I haven’t figured him out by then.
BUT, you also have to take in what the horse was before he ran. Was he an A/F? or D/F? How long between races? When was his last trip to the farm for a break? There are several factors in figuring out where to run the horse. It can be challenging mentally and that is one of the main reasons I like this game a lot.
The forum has a wealth of knowledge if you do searches of previous topics. You can be occupied for hrs if you don’t watch it. I know I have done a lot reading at night when I can’t sleep.
Hope this helps.
Thank you SO much Brenda. I think I might understand it a little now lol
It is a lot to absorb when starting new in the game. There are a lot of players with more knowledge than I, that will also help you and any new players in better understanding the game.
