How is it possible to determine whether a horse is a a slow starter or likes to set the pace early? I guess you can use the program part that has the positions they were in at different points but that doesn't factor in the other horses in thst previous race. I'm just wanting to learn and get into the sport and am curious

You typically need to go through past performances. After a few rac s you get a feel for a certain horses running style. It doesn't specifically factor the other horses styles in but a horse is gonna do what it does regardless of the other horses styles 80-90% of the time. A front runner is gonna go out front, a stalker gonna stalk, and a closer gonna close regardless of the other runners. Just the effectiveness is then the only question.Comment -
Google Quirin Speed Points. That method is one way to go about it.Comment -
