How good is my horse, really?
Paste your horse's link from Svensk Travsport. The tool pulls the horse's lifetime statistics and benchmarks them against Swedish warmblood harness racing on four metrics: win rate, place rate, earnings per start and record time.
How to find your horse
- Click Find your horse on travsport.se — it opens Travsport's horse search in a new tab.
- Search for your horse's name and open the profile.
- Copy the full URL (e.g. sportapp.travsport.se/sportinfo/horse/797786) and paste it above.
Important to know
This is a pure statistical rating based on the horse's historical results from Svensk Travsport. The rating says nothing about future potential — harness horses develop at their own pace, and the right training, driver, distance or a maturity click can change the picture quickly. A young horse with few starts or a horse changing trainers may perform very differently a few months later. Use this tool as a snapshot of where the horse stands today, not as a forecast.
Benchmark your horse against Swedish warmblood harness racing
Prize money alone rarely tells the full story of a harness horse. A Swedish warmblood with SEK 200,000 earned can be a standout for its age — or an average runner who simply started many times. This tool answers the question "is my horse good?" by converting lifetime statistics into percentiles against all Swedish warmblood trotters in the same age and sex bucket. You instantly see whether your horse is faster, wins more often, or earns more per start than comparable horses at Swedish tracks. The benchmark covers warmbloods only — coldblood trotters aren't in the dataset yet.
Frequently asked questions about rating harness horses
- How do I know if my horse is any good?
- A horse is "good" relative to its comparison group. A 3-year-old with a 15% win rate is exceptional; the same number for an experienced 7-year-old is more expected. The tool compares your horse's win rate, place rate, earnings per start and record time against Swedish warmblood trotters in the same bucket (age × sex) and returns a percentile from 1 to 100. Above percentile 75 means statistically stronger than three out of four comparable horses.
- What's a good win rate for a harness horse?
- For Swedish warmblood trotters the median sits at 6–9% win rate depending on age. Above 12% is very good, and above 18% is elite. Win rate alone isn't enough though — a horse with few starts can have a misleadingly high or low number. Always look at starts count and place rate (top-3) alongside.
- Is my horse fast?
- Record time is the single best measure of raw capacity. For warmblood trotters, the rule of thumb is: under 1:14 on autostart is good, under 1:12 is very good, under 1:10 is elite. The tool shows where your horse's record lands as a percentile against the comparison group — not just the absolute value, but how it stacks up against other Swedish warmbloods of the same age.
- Can I rate a coldblood trotter with this tool?
- Not yet. The benchmark dataset only contains Swedish warmblood trotters. Coldbloods race under different conditions with different distances and start methods — comparing them against warmbloods gives a misleading rating. A coldblood benchmark is planned but requires a separate dataset.
- Do trainer or driver changes affect the rating?
- The tool is based on the horse's historical starts — every trainer and driver involved. A horse that just moved to a new trainer or started with a new driver may perform differently than the historical rating suggests. Use the rating as a starting point, not as a forecast for next season.
- How often is the data updated?
- Data is fetched live from Svensk Travsport every time you open a report, cached for 24 hours per horse to avoid overloading their API. A new start typically shows in the rating the day after the race.
