Columns
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| trial_date | date | Date the barrier trial was run (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| venue | text | Trial venue — SHA TIN, CONGHUA or HAPPY VALLEY |
| track | text | Track surface used for the trial — TURF or ALL WEATHER TRACK |
| distance_m | number | Trial distance in metres (e.g. 1000, 1200, 1600) |
| batch_no | number | Batch (trial) number within the venue's session for that date |
| going | text | Going (track condition), e.g. GOOD, WET SLOW |
| batch_winning_time | text | Winning time for the batch as a whole, i.e. the time of the batch's fastest horse (M.SS.hh). The same for every runner in the batch — for this horse's own time, use horse_time. |
| batch_sectional_time | text | Section split times for the batch as a whole, in seconds, space-separated (e.g. '24.1 22.3 24.0'). The same for every runner in the batch. |
| batch_split_1_time | number | First section split time for the batch, in seconds (unpacked from batch_sectional_time). Same for every runner in the batch. |
| batch_split_2_time | number | Second section split time for the batch, in seconds (unpacked from batch_sectional_time). Same for every runner in the batch. |
| batch_split_3_time | number | Third section split time for the batch, in seconds (unpacked from batch_sectional_time). NULL if the batch had fewer than 3 splits. Same for every runner in the batch. |
| batch_split_4_time | number | Fourth section split time for the batch, in seconds (unpacked from batch_sectional_time). NULL if the batch had fewer than 4 splits. Same for every runner in the batch. |
| finishing_position | number | The order HKJC lists this horse in for the trial (1 = first across the line). Barrier trials are not officially placed, so this is the running order as published: horses that dead-heat appear as consecutive positions rather than sharing one. |
| horse | text | Horse's name in English |
| brand_code | text | Horse's HKJC brand number (e.g. H294) |
| horse_id | text | Canonical horse identifier (HK_YYYY_XXXX format) |
| jockey | text | Jockey who rode the horse in the trial |
| trainer | text | Horse's trainer |
| draw | number | Barrier (gate) draw number for the trial |
| gear | text | Equipment carried (HKJC gear codes, e.g. B = Blinkers, TT = Tongue Tie). See gear_label for the decoded form. |
| gear_label | text | Equipment decoded to words, e.g. 'Visor (removed) / Blinkers (2nd time) / Tongue Tie'. 'No gear' where the raw code is '--'. Codes are HKJC's own (Equipment Register, racing.hkjc.com/en-us/local/page/reg-approved-gear); a trailing 1/2 means first/second time worn and a trailing '-' means removed this start. Unrecognised codes pass through unchanged. |
| lbw | text | Lengths behind winner (LBW) — distance behind the first-place finisher. Numeric margins carry an explicit unit suffix, e.g. '2L' (two lengths), '1/2L', '2-1/4L'. Sub-length margins are published as HKJC's abbreviations or words instead of a number: 'Neck', 'Head', 'Nose', 'SH' (short head). HKJC occasionally omits or mis-cases the 'L' at source; the unit is restored here so the numeric form is consistent, and the word margins are passed through as published. |
| running_position | text | Running positions through the trial, space-separated by section |
| split_1_position | number | This horse's running position at the first split (unpacked from running_position). NULL if the horse was withdrawn or did not finish. |
| split_2_position | number | This horse's running position at the second split (unpacked from running_position). NULL if the horse was withdrawn or did not finish. |
| split_3_position | number | This horse's running position at the third split (unpacked from running_position). NULL if the trial had fewer than 3 splits, or the horse was withdrawn/did not finish. |
| split_4_position | number | This horse's running position at the fourth split (unpacked from running_position). NULL if the trial had fewer than 4 splits, or the horse was withdrawn/did not finish. |
| horse_time | text | This horse's individual finishing time (M.SS.hh) |
| result | text | Trial result note (e.g. Passed for a qualifying trial), blank if none |
| comment | text | Stewards'/HKJC comment describing how the horse ran in the trial |
| updated_at | date and time | Timestamp this row was last (re)parsed into the warehouse |
| id | text | Stable unique identifier for this row — the last column of every export. Use it to deduplicate, to key an incremental load, or to reference one specific row. It is additive: the entity and join keys you already use (race_id, horse_id, and the like) are unchanged. |
