The screens

Every screen — what it does, how to use it

8 minLesson 8 of 8Reference

Eleven screens, one job each. Here's what to open and when. A normal day flows Load the week → Morning sheets → Practice bet → Record results → After the races, with Proof as the test that decides whether any of it can go to real money.

Home/

Today's cards, sheet status, open practice bets, and whether real money is locked.

How: Glance here first. Today is on top even if next week is already loaded.

Scanner/scanner

Sweeps every loaded card for price overlays, primed ready flags, and pace + drop.

How: Read Pace + drop first when it shows. Then work overlays down the list.

Claimers/claiming

Every claiming race on loaded cards, by track, sprint vs route, filterable by flags. Factor rank plus the stored PLAY.

How: Filter Flags → Pace + drop. Factor-1 is not a winner. PLAY is the read.

Angles/angles

Closed $1-close claimer matrix. Hunt is pace + drop, same trip, not the fig. Live hits on the loaded card.

How: Play the matrix. Read hunt first. Open the horse on Claimers. Not a ticket.

Exotics/exotics

Builds exacta / trifecta / superfecta tickets for chaos races where favorites are weak. Separate scorecard.

How: Use sparingly, only when a race screams chaos. Treat as lottery tickets with an edge.

RaceDay/raceday

Load the week. Today’s cards on top. Sheets write the morning of each card date.

How: Load files when they land. Open today on the phone. Coming-up dates wait for their morning.

Your bets/desk

Your practice book — stage overlays, set stakes, and record practice tickets.

How: Where the decision becomes a bet. Confirm the overlay and the stake, then fire.

Scorecard/scorecard

The honest ledger — CLV (closing-line value — did you beat the final odds) and ROI by generator, win vs exotics.

How: Review after races settle. CLV trending up is the early sign you’re winning.

Proof/harness

Did the price model beat the closing odds on races it had not seen? Until yes, stay on practice.

How: Check before trusting the model at scale. It controls whether real money can even arm.

After the races/tape

What the sheet and the price model said vs the official chart. Observation only. Does not change the scanner.

How: Open after a card is official. Next sheet gets MEMORY. Overlay stays frozen until a human test beats the close.

Results/results

Chart replay — Equibase footnotes, fractions, running line, then the card review. How the race was run, not a second model story.

How: Open a settled card. Read the chart first. Then what the sheet and overlay did. Nothing here changes the scanner.

Behind the screens: the data loop

The screens only show what the loop feeds them. It runs from the command line (or on a schedule), and each step has a self-test so nothing silently breaks:

the daily / weekly loop
npm run ingest:drf -- card.DRF --commit # DRF → canonical races/runners
npm run migrate:results -- --commit # finish + closing odds (the benchmark)
npm run features:build -- --version=v3 --commit # speed/form/pace → signal
npm run harness:run -- --feature-set=v3 # the verdict
npm run audit:factors -- --feature-set=v3 # which factors earn their weight
A winning day, start to finish
Open the Scanner → pick the strongest overlays → check each in RaceDay → stage stakes on Your bets and record practice tickets → let races settle → review CLV/ROI on the Scorecard. Repeat. When Proof flips to EDGE, the same flow can go to real money.
Takeaway
Scanner finds it, Your bets records it, Scorecard judges it, Proof gates it. Learn that rhythm and the platform turns into muscle memory.
