Ninepin colours Generated livery card for Ninepin — white and blue chequer with a blue cap, over a brown 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

9 published · 3 drawn · 6 to run

Every card Ninepin 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

Ninepin held 273 numbers of the 1,000 in the Class A Synthetic, from barrier one at $3.07, the thickest block in that field by 60 numbers. It finished fourth of ten, 4.8 lengths from Stockyard Gate, which held 152.

It ran second in the Class B Flat off 151 numbers at $5.40, beaten 2.2 lengths, and fifth of twelve at Saltbush Flat off 68 at $11.63. Across nine cards its blocks run from 273 down to 17 — seventeen numbers in The Meridian at $47.29, and nineteen in the Maiden Flat at $44.08, the thinnest block on that card.

Its career record carries ten seconds against four wins and a strike rate under ten per cent, which is the shape of a record built out of independent draws rather than a tendency. Trained by Dorrie Slack-Smith, ridden most often by Jonty Mapp.
