you can choose to be as detailed or as general as you want with horseracing.
A lot of horseplayers mainly look at running lines, finish position, class, and speed figures on a sheet of paper.
Of course the actual races aren't computer simulations based on programs to fit the data. There are actually primates riding around on top of ungulates dealing with atmospheric phenomena and track conditions. The different surfaces and distances vary enough and demand different enough ability sets to make it difficult to predict many races with data alone.
