Insights from the AI Paddock
An occasional blog about taking an analytical approach to web3 game PhotoFinish.Live to grow your stable and hopefully your success.
This blog is dedicated to analysis of PhotoFinish.Live (PFL), designed to support all levels of players. There are short articles are specific aspects of the game and there are applications to provide some interactivity with the data rather than just sharing charts and tables. This is not a live service, but a periodically updated blog. Most of the applications are experimental, and more will be added over time.
Useful Applications

Trueskill Rating is a system designed to isolate skill from luck primarily amongst online pvp games. However as luck would have it, horse racing is a kind of pvp game, so the ratings are useful here too.
Nearest Neighbours
Nearest Neighbours is an experimental app that finds the most similar retired horse to your horse based on performance across different conditions and distances to help understand its hidden attributes.
Benchmarks
Benchmarks allows you to enter a finish time your horse has run and it will tell you whether that time was fast enough to win or podium at different types of races from Maidens to Stakes to Claimers.
