Copper Creek colours Generated livery card for Copper Creek, saddlecloth 8 — red and white stripes with a striped cap and a gold sulky, over a chestnut coat swatch.

A runner on this circuit carries colours rather than a photograph. There is nothing to photograph: the livery is drawn from the same values the simulator renders, so the card above and the screen agree.

The rating is not a handicapper's mark — this circuit has no handicapper. It is the runner's mean published weighting: the average block of numbers, out of 1,000, that GP-Draw 4.2 has given it across the cards it appears on. Divide by ten for the mean true win percentage.

The record reads starts–wins–seconds–thirds and the form string runs oldest to newest, so the last figure is the most recent finishing position. Figures are as at 25 October 2026 on the circuit clock and move only when a card this runner is declared in is drawn. There is no prizemoney on this circuit: nothing is staked, so nothing is won, and the money column is printed as an em dash rather than filled with a number that does not exist.

Every card

5 published · 2 drawn · 3 to run

Every card Copper Creek appears on, newest first, read off the cards themselves. Numbers is the block of 1,000 the weighting table gave this runner in that race; price is the same figure in the other notation. A card still to run has no finishing position, because nothing has been drawn yet.

Fields are fixed when a card is published, so there are no scratchings and no starting price: the price in this table is the one the card carried. How a virtual race is decided works through the arithmetic.

Prices on this page are the draw weighting in another notation. They are reference figures published with the card, not odds available anywhere, and not a betting recommendation.

The form line

the desk, on what the weightings have done

Copper Creek has the shortest history of the demo eight and the third heaviest mean block at 134 numbers. In the Standing Start Trot over 2240 metres it held 246 numbers at $3.55 from barrier seven and finished third, 4.3 lengths behind Harbour Flyer; it and Night Shift held 502 of the 1,000 between them in that race and filled second and third.

Next start, over 1609 metres in the Class C Mobile Pace, the table cut it to 74 numbers at $11.45 and it finished fifth of eight, 4.5 lengths back. Tonight it is barrier four in the Kurrajong Mile with 162 numbers at $5.39, the third thickest block on the card.

Trained by Vera Lindqvist and driven by Sam Oyelaran. It is drawn last in the sprite stack, so saddlecloth 8 is the nearest to the camera and the largest on the screen, which is the only reason narrow vertical stripes work as an identifier at all.
