How to read the Key Factors screen - Race Surface

The track surface is something I consider when handicapping a race since some horses run better on dirt, some jockeys may be turf specialists and some trainers may have a great record on synthetic. From the key factors screen I quickly determine how the horse, jockey and trainer do for the surface of the specific race. Let's take a look.



I see that the trainer for Honey Mou (#6) has a positive 20% win percentage on dirt, the jockey has a positive 17% on dirt and that Honey Mou has won 1/4 (25%) of her races on dirt. Not bad at all. In Her Hey Day (#4) doesn't look as promising since she has an average record on dirt since her Record cell is average (white -- neither red or green) and two red cells for for Trainer (11%) and Jockey (7%).

What do you think?
