Tally Room colours Generated livery card for Tally Room — amber and black hoops with an amber cap, over a bay 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 · 4 drawn · 5 to run

Every card Tally Room 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

Tally Room holds nine numbers of the 1,000 in the Saltbush Dash, from barrier seven, at $88.39. That is 0.9 per cent of the draw. Bitumen held the same nine numbers in the Class C Sprint over the same straight two days earlier and was priced $87.90, because that card ran to a book of 126.3 and this one runs to 125.8. Equal blocks, different books, different prices.

Four resulted starts, no placing: fifth of eight in the Trial off 128 numbers at $6.69, tenth of ten at Tin Creek off 37 at $22.62, sixth of twelve at Saltbush Flat off 106 at $7.46, ninth of ten at Mallee Park off 28 at $29.13. Its heaviest block on the programme is 157 numbers in the Tin Creek Classic at $5.33.

Eight career wins sit beside that and count for nothing in the table, which is the point the form desk makes about it. Trained by Hugh Pentland. Amber hoops on black: the hoops hold their shape in motion blur where vertical stripes do not.
