Hi Mike.

Hat only considered a horse to be an early/presser if he was 1/2 length or CLOSER than that to the lead at the FIRST call. He'd tell me "how the heck can a horse be called a presser Rich if he doesn't put his body on the other horse". HE wants pressers alongside the lead horse.I don't know if that helps you.

Styles vary widely depending on whom you ask. It's all good imo.

I'd go with the very first impression you had of the horse when you opened the race and saw him for the first time.
