Quirin points are interesting as a quick look aid, but it does have some shortcomings, as have been pointed out in this thread. It doesn't take into consideration early pace and basically splits races into sprints and routes. As most readers here know, there is a difference among dashes, 6f and long sprints and there are even subtle differences with every different distance. Of course, QSP also don't take into consideration class and recency, either.

I find QSP the most useful in seeing that an E8 is often a must lead horse and I can quickly pick up on that. It is one of a number of ways that I evaluate early speed and positional tendency.
