After reading what I wrote I can see that it wasn't very clear, concerning positioning. What I should have included is that what I do is have 10 zones each 1 lenght or 10 feet beginning with the lead horse and ending with the last place horses for both the first and second calls.I place my horses in these zones as I predict they will be in based upon todays match up.This allows me to see how the horses will space themselves out. From this I get to see which horses will be out of position depending upon my version of race shapes or which will have an advantage based upon positioning then I look at my early or late rating to see if this advantage can be exploited . Only absolute need to lead types do I have to be concerned with their running style, otherwise my positioning is not based upon running styles.
