Build your own ticket pick a sequence and a budget

The best ticket that budget can buy, worked out for every leg at once rather than a fixed number of horses per race. It covers whatever gives the sequence the best chance of surviving, so it does not always include the horse we are betting to win — where it does, that horse is marked. The hit percentage treats the legs as independent, which they are not, so read it as a ceiling.

Whole-card tickets keyed on our reads: a tight conviction build and a wider coverage build, singling the flags and spreading the open races. Reference construction, not a +EV call: the hit % assumes the legs are independent (v0 doesn’t model pace or scratches across races), and only the flagged legs are graded bets.
