% Med can be used to discount certain horses such as NTL ( need to lead) horses, stretch outs etc.

Certain Match UPs force a horse to run out of its comfort zone or expend their energy too early trying to keep up. Selecting a pace line is not difficult at all, while its an important key to success it really isn't difficult at all. Follow Sartin guidelines for success in picking lines. His later guidelines, which is use the best of last 3 at a comparable distance and surface. A horse needs to stay within its comfort zone or normal running style to be successful. [B]On the TPR screen look at the red and blue sticks to see its normal style.

I place importance on it and also pay particular attention to any horse that changed its style in its last race, particularity if it changed trainers or distance. Especially if it increased its Tot. Energy in that race. Some trainers are slow to know the proper way to run their horses others never get this. A horse that all of a sudden rates etc. note: not because it got in trouble and had to take up.
