Schema & column quality (89 columns)
Column Type Description Populated Distinct
horse_id String Unique horse identifier (e.g., 'HK_2020_E403') — —
race_date DateTime Date of the race (YYYY-MM-DD) 100.0% 3,584
race_number Int64 Race number within the meeting (1-11) 100.0% 11
race_index Nullable(String) Original HKJC race identifier within the meeting (1-10). Use this for matching with external HKJC data sources. NULL for modern data (Sept 2025+). — —
race_id Nullable(String) Unique race identifier (format: ST_20250928_R01) — —
horse_name String Horse's name in English — —
horse_number Nullable(Int64) Horse's saddle/barrier number for the race — —
finishing_position Int64 Final finishing position (1, 2, 3, etc.). 0 for non-starters — see non_starter. — —
non_starter Nullable(Bool) TRUE when the horse was entered but did not start the race (scratched, withdrawn, or a standby/reserve that never ran). For these rows finishing_position is not meaningful (0). Filter on non_starter = false for finishing-position calculations; keep them for withdrawal and pre-race analysis. — —
result_status Nullable(String) Result classification. 'PLACED' = a completed run with a numeric finishing_position (any position, not the racing sense of "placed in the money"). Codes present in the data: PU = pulled up (started, retired mid-race, no placing); WV = withdrawn on veterinary advice; WXNR = declared a non-runner. WV and WXNR are non-runners (the horse did not start), so they are always flagged non_starter = true. non_starter = false therefore cleanly means the horse ran; for a set restricted to placed runners (excluding a PU or a future DISQ that ran but did not place) filter result_status = 'PLACED'. DISQ (disqualified) is decoded but does not yet appear: HKJC publishes disqualifications weeks after the race, after our re-scrape window closes, so the provisional placing stays frozen. When a DISQ is ingested the runner did start and HKJC renumbers the field, so finishing_position reflects the official result. See result_status_label for decoded wording. NULL for non-starters with no recorded code and entries with no outcome. — —
result_status_label Nullable(String) Human-readable form of result_status (Finished, Pulled Up, Withdrawn (Vet), Non-runner; Disqualified once ingested). Unmapped codes pass through verbatim. — —
finishing_time_seconds Nullable(Float64) Finishing time converted to total seconds — —
finishing_time Nullable(String) Finishing time (MM:SS.ss format) — —
margin Nullable(String) Margin from winner (lengths, head, neck, short head, etc.) — —
margin_lengths Nullable(Float64) Margin converted to numeric lengths — —
draw Nullable(Int64) Starting gate/barrier position (same as horse_number in HK flat racing) — —
odds Nullable(Float64) Win odds as a decimal number (e.g. 4.5 = 9/2) — —
position_1 Nullable(String) Running position at first checkpoint — —
position_2 Nullable(String) Running position at second checkpoint — —
position_3 Nullable(String) Running position at third checkpoint — —
position_4 Nullable(String) Running position at fourth checkpoint — —
position_5 Nullable(String) Running position at fifth checkpoint — —
position_6 Nullable(String) Running position at sixth checkpoint (longer races only) — —
section_1_time Nullable(String) Time for first section in seconds (e.g., '14.77') — —
section_2_time Nullable(String) Time for second section in seconds — —
section_3_time Nullable(String) Time for third section in seconds — —
section_4_time Nullable(String) Time for fourth section in seconds — —
section_5_time Nullable(String) Time for fifth section in seconds — —
section_6_time Nullable(String) Time for sixth section in seconds (longer races only) — —
lbw_1 Nullable(String) Lengths behind leader at first checkpoint (e.g., '2-1/4') — —
lbw_2 Nullable(String) Lengths behind leader at second checkpoint — —
lbw_3 Nullable(String) Lengths behind leader at third checkpoint — —
lbw_4 Nullable(String) Lengths behind leader at fourth checkpoint — —
lbw_5 Nullable(String) Lengths behind leader at fifth checkpoint — —
lbw_6 Nullable(String) Lengths behind leader at sixth checkpoint — —
split_800m_600m_time Nullable(Float64) Time in seconds for the 200m run between 800m-to-go and 600m-to-go (second-to-last 400m section, first half). Available from 12 November 2022. Blank for older races or those without sectional data. — —
split_600m_400m_time Nullable(Float64) Time in seconds for the 200m run between 600m-to-go and 400m-to-go (second-to-last 400m section, second half). — —
split_400m_200m_time Nullable(Float64) Time in seconds for the 200m run between 400m-to-go and 200m-to-go (final 400m section, first half). — —
split_final_200m_time Nullable(Float64) Time in seconds for the final 200m (finishing sprint). The single most-analyzed sectional metric in racing; lower is faster. Available from 12 November 2022 (when HKJC began publishing 200m sub-splits); also from April 2024 via the V2 spider. — —
split_first_200m_time Nullable(Float64) Time in seconds for the opening 200m from the gates. Four of the eight standard HK race distances (1000m / 1400m / 1800m / 2200m) open with a 200m section; the four multiples of 400m (1200 / 1600 / 2000 / 2400) open with 400m and have no opening 200m timing point. When the distance has no opening 200m, this column is NULL by design, not missing data — use has_opening_200m_segment to filter. Coverage back to 2013 for distances that have the timing point; this timing point has always been part of HKJC's published sectional data, only the column surfacing is new. — —
has_opening_200m_segment Nullable(Bool) True when the race distance has an opening 200m timing point (1000m / 1400m / 1800m / 2200m). False for 400m-aligned distances (1200 / 1600 / 2000 / 2400) and Happy Valley 1650m, where split_first_200m_time is NULL by design. Use this to distinguish "no data possible at this distance" from "data missing for this race" when filtering or charting opening-pace metrics. — —
section_1_vs_pace Nullable(Float64) Difference between horse's section 1 time and race benchmark. Negative = faster than field average. Available for races with V2 sectional data (Jan 2026+). — —
section_2_vs_pace Nullable(Float64) Difference between horse's section 2 time and race benchmark. Negative = faster than field. — —
section_3_vs_pace Nullable(Float64) Difference between horse's section 3 time and race benchmark. Negative = faster than field. — —
section_4_vs_pace Nullable(Float64) Difference between horse's section 4 time and race benchmark. Negative = faster than field. — —
section_5_vs_pace Nullable(Float64) Difference between horse's section 5 time and race benchmark. Negative = faster than field. — —
section_6_vs_pace Nullable(Float64) Difference between horse's section 6 time and race benchmark. Negative = faster than field (longer races only). — —
