The past performance lines shows the type of pace that is best for the horse. To arrive at this conclusion, one must establish the running style of the horses in the race. To establish the running style look at all lines in the horse’s past performance. We must understand, and be able to identify
the three main running styles that are in a horse race.

I usually label running style Early. or other than Early and use positions to
determine where the horse will be in a race. Sometime individuals forget that
a horse has run a quarter of a mile, before a time is given, and we are at the
mercy of the chart maker to know the true position of the horse.

A horse running second may be a need to lead horse that didn’t get the lead, but pressed the first fraction and wins. Look at all running lines to determine if the horse usually goes wire-to-wire. If not he is a presser.

Here is my interpretation of running styles:

Early 1st at all calls.
Early Presser 2nd at first call.
Presser 3rd At first call.
Sustained Presser 4th, or 5th at first call.
Sustained at 6-9 at first call.
Late 10th,or more at the first call.
