# Understanding Your Horses

## The Horse Detail Page

Tap any horse in your Stable, on a race card, or anywhere else, to open its profile. You'll see:

* Name, bloodline, gender, star rating.
* Career record — total starts, wins, places, win rate.
* Form guide — recent results, most recent on the right.
* Surface record — performance broken down by surface.
* Race history — full race-by-race log with finishes and times.
* Jockey and trainer pairing — names, portraits, and short bios.
* Shareholders — if syndicated, who else owns shares.

## The Surface Record

The Surface Record widget is the most useful tool for scouting your horses. It shows wins, places, and starts on each of the four surfaces:

```
Surface Record (last 20 races)
 Tapeta:        5W-3P-1S  (40% win rate)  ✨
 Polytrack:     2W-2P-2S  (20% win rate)
 Cushion:       0W-1P-0S  (0% win rate)   ⚠
 Prefabricated: 1W-0P-0S  (25% win rate)
```

A sparkle (✨) means the horse is performing well on that surface. A warning (⚠) means they're struggling. Over time these patterns reveal hidden affinity scores — every horse has a private 0–100 affinity for each surface, with most horses centred around 50 and a minority being specialists.

**Tip.** For a brand-new horse with no history, the form guide shows projected performance so you're not staring at empty stats. Real records build up as the horse races.

## What's Public, What's Hidden

| Shown on the horse card         | Hidden (learn by racing)        |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Name, visual, bloodline, gender | Raw DNA stat values             |
| Star rating                     | Surface affinity numbers        |
| Career record, form guide       | Running style                   |
| Per-surface record              | Condition preferences           |
| Jockey / trainer names and bios | Jockey / trainer modifier sizes |

## Bloodlines

There are four bloodlines, each with a brand colour and a slight surface lean:

| Bloodline | Lean (small bias) |
| --------- | ----------------- |
| Nakamoto  | Tapeta            |
| Szabo     | Polytrack         |
| Finney    | Cushion           |
| Buterin   | Prefabricated     |

The lean is small — bloodline alone doesn't decide races, but it's a hint when you're scouting a horse with little race history.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://zed.gambitpro.com/owning-horses/10-understanding-your-horses.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
