New Ideas - Pace and Cap

By position are you speaking akin to Brohammer which, TO MY UNDERSTANDING is exclusive of pace?

If that is the case, let's say I run about the same pace all the time and I go up against some one like Carl Lewis. Where will I be? 40 lengths back.

If I raced John Candy, I might be up along side of him

Without pace, unless you are the only speed, position, as I understand it, doesn't mean much. That is one of the many reasons that segmental velocity handicapping discovers so many improving horses hidden amongst beaten lengths.
