## What is Starting Gate?

REAL RACE CARDS. HIGHLY PERSONAL CONFIDENCE.

Your friend studies the form. You like the horse with the best name.
There is room for both.

Starting Gate mixes real US race cards, AI horse picks, and your race-day personality. Bring your lucky number. Pick your track. Give the group chat something to argue about.

HOW SPICY?
Keep it calm. Get bold. Go for the moonshot. Choose your energy, then choose what matters to you.

THE FORM GETS A VOTE. SO DOES THE CHAOS.
Mix race records with lucky numbers, great names, or a little "vibes only." Go through the choices. Make the pick your own.

WHY THIS HORSE?
When verified history exists, see a dated fact from a real past race beside your selected vibe. A past finish, a distance, or even a weight carried can give your gut feeling a receipt. No verified record? No invented history.

MEET YOUR TOP THREE
Get a lead pick, two runners-up, and AI commentary with a point of view. See suggested wagers in plain words.

THE HORSES CLOCKED OUT. YOUR VIBES DIDN'T.
When no live card is available, replay a real past card. Try the full pick process, with clear replay labels and no alerts for past races.

SEND YOUR CALL
Shareable sample ticket. Your horse, chosen energy, and personal race-day line. Give the group chat your top pick.

POST TIME. ON YOUR TERMS.
Choose race reminders for your selected track. Find each alert control and your AI choice under Settings.

RACE DAY, WRAPPED
Look back at your picks, favorite criteria, and race-day personality. The summary shows how you picked, not how you finished.

Free to download and use. No account required.

For entertainment. Adults 21+ only. Starting Gate does not accept bets, handle money, or link to betting sites. AI picks can be wrong and do not guarantee results. Race availability follows each track's schedule. Please gamble responsibly.
