Saratoga Springs, NY – Prominent New York State advance deposit wagering (ADW) platforms BataviaBets, Capital OTB, EmpireCityBets, and SaratogaBets today announced that The Machine, also known as the TrackSmart Artificial Intelligence (AI) Handicapping Engine, will be providing free comprehensive selections and analysis for the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival in its entirety.
The Machine has been a public handicapper with SaratogaBets, BataviaBets, Capital OTB and EmpireCityBets since January 2026, and during that time has provided daily selections and analysis covering NYRA, Keeneland, Santa Anita, as well as New York State harness racing content from Batavia Downs, Yonkers, and Saratoga.
“Horse racing and it’s unlimited supply of granular data related to pace projections and class/form analysis is particularly well suited for what AI brings to the table” said Alex Savage, Racing Development and Simulcast Manager at Saratoga Casino Hotel. “The Machine provides data-driven breakdowns of specific race cards in 3-4 minutes, a final product that a professional handicapper would require 3-4 hours to decipher.”
Powered by Tracksmart LLC proprietary handicapping engines, The Machine (AKA TrackSmart AI) evaluates the past performances of each individual horse, adapting its logic dynamically to the specific conditions of the race. Whether you are betting a maiden sprint, a turf route, a harness race, or the Belmont Stakes, The Machine thinks like a master handicapper. Fast and efficient, The Machine processes an entire race card in just three to four minutes and will be available free for all visiting horseplayers for the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, from Wednesday, June 3, to Sunday, June 7, at BataviaBets, Capital OTB, EmpireCityBets, and SaratogaBets.
“The Machine isn’t here to replace the handicapper, it is the analytical partner every serious player wishes they had – AI that handicaps like a seasoned horseplayer” said David Lowry, CEO of Tracksmart AI. “Tracksmart AI technology levels the playing field for the retail horseplayer in an industry driven more and more by data that until now, was not readily available to the $2 player.”
The Machine will provide free, detailed selections and analysis covering NYRA, New York harness racing, and specified graded stakes racing at www.bataviabets.com, www.capitalotb.com, www.empirecitybets.com, and www.saratogabets.com throughout 2026.
