I see what you are saying Mitch Doc did away with visual matching and went to percentage of the horses total energy for the ESP I look at both
plus the sticks on the Phase 1 TPR screen
About a visual running style,
I really am just looking at positions by eye ball scan
I already have issues with data providers, especially with beaten lengths, If they say a horse is 6.5 back can I trust it ? Well they probably guess or "average" based on whatever,
At least with position, I feel they have a better chance they get that part right.
I have been reading the Doc's advance concepts piece in PMTR
I see were he was using percent early which was the rating before medium energy, The formula EPR/TPR example EPR 85 / TPR 175 = 48.5
percent med is F1%+ F2%
Example from The velocity POR /POH screens in RDSS2.1
