Data notes
- · All Sha Tin races indexed as
race_id = ST-YYMMDD-NN - · Turf and all-weather races flagged separately (
surface = TURF / AWT) - · Sectionals: 200 m intervals on turf, 400 m intervals on all-weather
- · Going Allowance combines HKJC public values with Horsorion's internal correction
- · Point-in-time racecards capture the last pre-jump state to avoid look-ahead bias
