    • How does AI differentiate between fact and opinion?
    • Means what it says . the accuracy of the information given by the A.I source was getting near 80% in certain situations. If the algorithms used were suiting the task.   Still means a LOT of inaccuracies are involved, but things are improving as time progresses.  Is/Will be especially useful where you mentioned above for BOOKMAKER activity.  It's a very interesting topic . The A.I use in horse racing. here's the snippet I got that from .  accurate unless A.I wrote the article  😉🤣😂 We tested several popular algorithms that are used for classification in AI and also developed our own. No algorithm was perfect; the best ones − even one we developed specifically for this task − achieved an accuracy rate of about 80%,
    • The connections of the half-dozen European raiders among a field of 11 for Sunday's HK$26-million Longines Hong Kong Vase (2400m) will have been mostly pleased with the outcome of the barrier draw, which was held in the state-of-the-art parade ring at Sha Tin Racecourse Thursday morning. Resolute Racing and Baron Philip Von Ullman's Goliath (Adlerflug) makes a second trip across to Hong Kong in the space of eight months, having finished a disappointing ninth to Tastiera (Jpn) (Satono Crown {Jpn}) at a fairly short price in the G1 FWD QE II Cup over the 2000 metres in April. Though he did best 2024 Vase runner-up Dubai Honour (Pride of Dubai) in the G1 Grosser Preis von Baden Sept. 7, the bay never seriously factored when down the field in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf Nov. 1. Trainer Francis Graffard is hopeful of a rebound from Goliath, which would cap an already monumental season for the yard. “He's really well now and while he has had far from a perfect season, he could finish off in style,” Graffard said of the 5-year-old, who will depart gate four on the weekend. “He is in terrific form and this week you are seeing the Goliath that we all love to see. He is a happy horse who is moving very well and I'm delighted with him.” Giavellotto (Mastercraftsman) had 2 1/2 lengths on Dubai Honour in last year's Vase after quickening home brilliantly, and his 2025 preparation has always had this title defence as its terminus. The 6-year-old arrives back off a cracking fourth in unsuitably soft ground in the Oct. 5 G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe with Andrea Atzeni at the controls, and the Italian–who has 109 career Hong Kong wins to his credit–will be back aboard from barrier six. “In his early days, I remember hitting the front on him at York and he hung left; he was very immature,” Atzeni said. “In Europe, he never won by very far, so I was actually very surprised to see him pull that far clear here last year. “He's just a different horse; he's mature mentally and over a mile and a half (2400m) with a good pace, he's got quicker with age and now shows much more speed.” The legendary Andre Fabre is already a three-time winner of the Vase, including Wertheimer et Frere's Junko (Intello) in 2023, and the same owners' Sosie (Sea The Stars) can add to the total. The homebred 4-year-old was the popular winner of this year's G1 Prix d'Ispahan and was runner-up in the G2 Prix Foy on Arc Trials day Sept. 7 ahead of a sound third in the main event, one spot better than 2024. The bay will be ridden by dual Vase winner Maxime Guyon from the eight hole. Aidan O'Brien has also unsaddled the winner of the Vase on three occasions and will rely on 2024 G1 Irish Derby hero Los Angeles (Camelot) to build upon previous scores by Highland Reel (Galileo, twice) and Mogul (Galileo). A tough-as-nails winner of this year's G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup over an extended 10 furlongs, the bay–who is off to join the Coolmore NH stallion roster next season–has Ryan Moore from gate 10, but has plenty of time to slot in from there, though he must improve on his last-of-17 result in the Arc. Joseph O'Brien will try to outdo his dad when sending out G1 Irish St Leger romper Al Riffa (Wootton Bassett) at the weekend. The 5-year-old was set a tall task with 130 pounds on his back in the G1 Melbourne Cup last time and ran home nicely from a mile back to be seventh. He should be more prominent from a low draw in two with Irish champion Dylan Browne McMonagle looking to add more international plaudits to his CV. Oisin Murphy gave Giavellotto an A-plus steer here 12 months ago, but finds himself partnered with Prince A A Faisal's Eydon (Olden Times) for this return to Group 1 company. A big fourth at rough odds in the 2022 G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas, the bay is a dual winner this term, including the G2 Gran Premio del Jockey Club going this distance at the San Siro Oct. 19. Eydon jumps from gate nine on Sunday.

    • You guys are correct in that on-line A.I is just a developing technology . Accuracy rates have been deeply scrutinized as they gather more information and the accuracy rate on topic news articles was a rather poor 50% of articles with inaccuracies earlier this year. Of course as time passes , the Algorithms that Chief mentions are developing at a great rate and some that are Topic specific are showing data at 80% accuracy , so improvement is there. just needs more time. something is better than nothing afterall. (just like racing forums actually lol 😁) They'll never have the ability to predict what a yearling might do from a yearling sale though 😂, nor the ability ( or possible ability ) of said animal to be a racing prospect. There are WAY TOO Many variables. be a stallion ? seriously ? You best to win the Coolmore or something as a 2 year old , and then you might just scrape in as a stallion prospect. No art involved. just the human intervention on horses training will help decide it's future course.   The only hope with Yearling sales is the trained eye and experience level of the observor/purchaser to get a Good race-horse of the future. and weight of numbers purchased by the one buyer of course. The more purchases by one buyer , the chance of getting a 'Race-horse' double each time. A.I might be of help in the future with selecting notable attributes/accomplishments  in a horses pedigree or stuff like that, that you used to just find in the Catelogue fine print . A.I could give more expansive information on any yearling you like at some stage , so All is not bleak. It's a developing field as in all technology. quite amazing really.
