Run Style
[ E ] A winner exhibiting a typical ’E’ (or Early) run style would show the horse leading or battling for the lead through the duration of the race. An ’E’ horse is any horse which typically vies for the early lead or whose better races are run on the lead. Most ’E’ horses are need-the-lead types which can not reasonably be expected to successfully rate behind a pacesetter.
[ E/P ] A winner exhibiting a typical ’E/P’ (or Early/Presser) run style would show the horse running 2nd or 3rd and within a few lengths early before making the winning move. A ’E/P’ horse, like an ’E’ horse , may also run on the frontend. However, unlike an ’E’ horse, it can reasonably be expected to successfully lay just behind a pacesetter.
[ P ] A winner exhibiting a typical ’P’ (or Presser) run style would show the horse running in the middle-of-the-pack early before making his winning move. A ’P’ horse may at times run close to the pace but rarely, if ever, challenges for the lead early. Unlike a ’S’ horse, the ’P’ horse doesn’t typically run from the rear-of-the-pack in it’s better races.
[ S ] A winner exhibiting a typical ’S’ (Sustain or Closer) run style would show the horse running in the back-of-the-pack early before making his late winning move.
[ NA ] A ’NA’ (or Not Available) run style is used for first-time-starters and those horses without any meaningful running lines to accurately assess the hores’s perferred run style.
