Marble Bar colours Generated livery card for Marble Bar — magenta and black halves with a white cap, over a grey 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.

Prizemoney

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

10 published · 4 drawn · 6 to run

Every card Marble Bar 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

Marble Bar holds eight numbers of the 1,000 in the Jacaranda Cup, at $98.50. That is the thinnest block and the longest price on any of the 21 published cards, and the only price above $98 on the programme. Eight numbers is 0.8 per cent true, printed as 1.0 per cent implied on a book of 127.0.

Its heaviest block went the other way entirely: 255 numbers in the Trial at $3.36, the top of that table, off which it ran third of eight, 2.5 lengths back. The other three resulted starts came off 32, 30 and 33 numbers at $26.15, $26.37 and $25.75: sixth of ten, seventh of twelve, and eighth of eight in the Handicap Hurdle, 19 lengths back.

Ten cards, blocks from 255 to 8, a range of nearly thirty-two to one and the thinnest mean weighting among the jumpers. Twenty-nine career starts for six wins. Trained by Vera Lindqvist, ridden by Ruby Nankervis in that Wattle Hill trial. Magenta and black halves with a white cap, on the only grey of the four carded at Bellbird Rise.
