Salt Pan colours Generated livery card for Salt Pan, saddlecloth 7 — blue with a magenta pad, a teal cap and a green sulky, 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.

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 Salt Pan 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

Salt Pan is eight, the oldest of the 28 runners, and has the thinnest resulted record of the demo eight: eighth of eight in the Class C Mobile Pace off 44 numbers at $19.26, 14 lengths back, and sixth of eight in the Standing Start Trot off 60 numbers at $14.56.

In tonight's Kurrajong Mile it holds 44 numbers again, from barrier three at $19.83 — 5.0 per cent implied against 4.4 per cent true, a margin of 0.6 points and the smallest any runner carries on that card. The Mile runs to a book of 114.6, a tenth of a point above the Standing Start Trot's 114.5, which is the smallest on the harness cards. The following night at Gidgee it holds 226 numbers from barrier one at $3.74, a block 5.1 times thicker.

It is the only grey of the eight, which means the coat identifies it on the screen before the silks do — a luxury no other livery in the field has. Trained by Coen McTiernan, driven by Marnie Kessel. The magenta is drawn as a sulky-height band on the livery card rather than a pad, which is a limit of the renderer and is printed rather than designed around.
