TSM Latest News – May 2026

Server Updates

You may have noticed we were unusually quiet in March and April 2026 !  However this was not without good reason. Our entire website and everthing connected was moved to a new upgraded hosting provider. The TSMapp also had a separate server upgrade with even more CPU/RAM delegated to TSMapp users. I hope we never have to move hosting providers again…..

DH Racecards - NEW 3x3 Report

The DH Racecards were added to the suite of TSM Features almost a year ago and have been developed and improved since their initial release. There have been 3 iterations of Racecards. Each using different inputs to calculate bespoke rating values.

By lining up all 3 cards next to each other Dave H has produced the 3×3 Report. This is a simple spreadsheet that shows the Top 3 Rated Horse for Each Racecard, lined up next to each other. This allows us to pick Horses where there is perceived value as we follow the day’s racing. 

The screenshot below is taken from today’s Horse Racing 3×3 Report. There are 3 Racecards available, DH TBM CARD, DH NEW CARD and DH PRO CARD. Each has its own Excel Sheet. Then we have the 3×3 Report as shown below, where we can view the Selections in Rank Order for their respective Racecards. By comparing the 3×3 to the live Market Odds throughout the afternoon we can pick and choose which Markets to play. DH Ratings are about long term value rather than betting on every race. 

DH Racecards - BONUS Content

The DH Racecards can be found on the DH Portal. For the sceptical amongst you who are not TSM Subsrcibers we have decided to make some of the content free to use on a daily basis. If you are one of those sceptical people book mark the portal and check back daily ! Today’s Bonus Content  was the Horse Racing Racecards including the 3×3.

Horse Racing Selection Hunter Updated

Over the last few weeks our attention has been on adding additional filters to Selection Hunter for Horses and adding more options to the breakdown screen. Creating your own selection systems for Horse & Greyhounds has never been easier. There are now around 200 Filters available for Horse Racing and over 160 Filters for Greyhounds. For a full breakdown see – Horse Racing Glossary & Greyhound Racing Glossary.

Remember, TSM links seamlessly into Selection Hunter so that you can analyse the historical data for any selection systems created.

Additional Filters added were all Last Time Out Filters. The data was updated all the way back to 2021 where possible.

  • LTO Distance To First – Distance to first place in lengths.
  • LTO Distance to Next – Distance to the next horse in front in lengths.
  • LTO Distance To Next Behind – Distance to the next horse behind in lengths.

Distances are always measured in lengths. In Selection Hunter the distance is always shown in numerics. See the table below for a breakdown of distances available.

LTO_RaceType was also added to the available Filters. RaceType and LTO_RaceType are derived from the official RaceName of the Horse race. (RaceName will include the type(s) of race).

Use the LIST operator (Comma Seperated List of Values) in Selection Hunter  to search for RaceTypes.  

Selection Hunter Results Breakdown

There are now over 85 filters that can be analysed by Selection Hunter on the Analysis/Breakdown Screen so that you can view instantly which values show an edge. Below shows the breakdown for LTO_DistanceToFirst on one of our Selection Hunter presets. We can see instantly that where the Horse finished less than or equal to 0.1 lengths in their last race, the strike rate is around 24%. This may be an option to use this filter for users who want a higher strike rate, but with reduced bets. 

The full list of filters now available on the additional breakdown screen are –
