Lesson II
Early is a runner that can go wire-to-wire, without a challenge from any other runner in the race.. If this is true the race will run Early. Otherwise, the race is going to run other than early. There are certain things to look for before making the decision, on how the race "sets" up.
Evaluate the runners in today’s race and decide the running style of all runners. Next look at the Early Runners and evaluate them and ask yourself the following questions:
1. Look at the first fraction and see which horse will have the lead.
2. What type of lead does the runner need. Open lengths, or can the
runner fight?
3. What happens if he is challenged?
4. Is there any early challengers in today’s race?
5. Is the runner a quitter?
If there isn’t any horse that has the lead at the first fraction, look at horses that are close to the lead and gains the lead at the second call. Give these horses the lead by default. Most of these races run Other Than
Early.
