Maybe one day we'll find out. I consider them reasonably similar to Total Energy (though less accurate) and you can see our initial tests of using Total Energy as a source of NP ratings (just a bit worse than Adjusted SR). For now, I think we have enough ratings to work with.

The interesting part will come in the next while from studies to improve NewPace by factoring in normal Matchup stuff and identifying the worst NP contender for finishing in Win/Place position - making it easier to go with 3 horses. Also, eliminating horses on recency and those at the wrong end of their form cycle.
