Theory Briefing
- Hybrid Theory's full race record on the Racing Post tracks results by course, race type, and prize money — a rich dataset for form analysis.
- Bettors and trainers use past performance patterns to forecast future races, a real-world application of Bayesian reasoning under uncertainty.
- Prize money distribution across race types reveals how incentive structures shape which races connections target — classic principal-agent dynamics at play.
