Overview

The Rating Bureau (TRB), established in 1965, is Australia’s premier provider of horse racing data, performance ratings, and specialized software. With a legacy of pioneering public weight ratings, TRB offers comprehensive services including historical and real-time racing data, Weight-for-Age (WFA) Performance Ratings, and the GTX software platform. Cplus Soft partnered with TRB to develop a predictive analytics solution that identifies stallions with the highest probability of winning races and forecasts which stallions are likely to sire winning offspring. By integrating advanced machine learning algorithms with TRB’s extensive data, the solution empowers breeders and racing professionals to make informed, data-driven decisions.

Challenges Faced by TRB

Breeders and racing professionals often relied on intuition and limited historical data to predict stallion performance, leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal breeding decisions. The absence of reliable predictive tools resulted in investments that did not yield the expected race outcomes or successful progeny. TRB recognized the need for a solution that could provide accurate insights while integrating seamlessly with its existing systems, including the GTX platform and custom software offerings.

Furthermore, forecasting long-term breeding success posed a challenge, as existing methods could not reliably evaluate genetic factors, offspring performance, or historical trends. Users required an intuitive system capable of analyzing multidimensional racing data, offering actionable insights, and supporting high-volume data access in real-time. Without predictive analytics, TRB’s clients risked making suboptimal breeding choices, reducing their competitiveness in the racing industry.

Solution Provided by Cplus Soft

Cplus Soft implemented a predictive analytics system that leveraged TRB’s extensive historical and real-time racing data. The solution identified stallions with the highest probability of winning future races by analyzing past performance, form patterns, and contextual factors. Advanced algorithms also assessed genetic lineage and offspring performance to forecast breeding success, allowing breeders to optimize sire selection and improve long-term racing outcomes.

The system was fully integrated with TRB’s GTX platform and data infrastructure, ensuring seamless access to predictive insights without disrupting existing workflows. Cloud-based scalability enabled real-time calculations and predictions even during peak usage, while a user-friendly interface allowed professionals to quickly interpret results. By combining machine learning with comprehensive racing analytics, the solution provided actionable, data-driven insights that enhanced decision-making and strengthened TRB’s value proposition.
