Determine running style
Personally I early on in my journey, I struggled with running styles especially trying to use Quirin speed points. I am a pace handipper and speed and running style is everything. My struggle came to an end with reading Klein’s Handicapping Speed. With that book I created, don’t laugh, 11 running styles.
Need to lead
Front runners
Pressers
Stalker, big closer
Stalker small closer
Stalker
Trailer, big closer
Trailer, small closer
Trailer
First time starter
Unknown
Simply stated, it works enough. The worst of these styles are stalkers and trailers. Some call theses types merry go round horses. They absolutely need the race to melt down.
As stated above and in Klein’s book, you must adjust for race structure. He states how to do it. It has been many years since I read the book, so the details are built into my program. As I tell people at the track when questioned why the program made that I call, I honestly tell them “I don’t know “.
