Ryan,

Hidden Energy is approximately the average of F2 and F3 velocities or (F2+F3) / 2. Generically, useful in shorter Turf routes (along with something like TS+F3 on the Segments Screen, or TS+Deceleration from Velocity Screen. But situationally, it can also be a factor to model on various surfaces (but particularly routes, I think) depending on what the track geometries are, what specific portions of the race occur on the far turn, the length of the stretch run, etc.
