| In Handicapping horse racing your goal is to turn the | | | | but also likes to creep up on the leader and take a |
| information from your daily race program into a | | | | victory. It lacks the sudden charge to the front in the |
| visualization of the horse race. The program gives you | | | | beginning of the race and does not have the sudden |
| enough information to figure out the speed of the race | | | | closing ability either. It will run a steady race and work |
| and how it will play out from gate to finish line. Of | | | | its way up to the front taking the victory. |
| course you will not be right many times but this | | | | These are the four main running styles in horse racing. |
| visualization puts you on the road to amazing | | | | There is no style that is better than the other. Many |
| handicapping skills. The different running styles of | | | | amazing horses have had different styles and have |
| horses are crucial to determined the outcome of a | | | | dominated their races. Its important to note which style |
| race. Basically there our 4 running styles to look for. | | | | each horse is that you are handicapping. Look at the |
| E++ or Front Runner-> This is basically a horse that | | | | past performances of each horse in the race and if |
| has early speed you can look in its past races and as | | | | the program your using does not already provide you |
| soon as the gate opens it wants to be out in the lead. | | | | with the running style of the horse (most due) figure it |
| Most of the races that they win are wire to wire | | | | out and put your best guess there. |
| victories. You can spot the front runners by how far | | | | As you do this with each horse you are looking at you |
| they are from the lead out of the gate | | | | will be able to visualize which horses will take the lead, |
| E/P or early and closer-> This type of horse shows | | | | who the stalkers, who will stay in the pack and who |
| early speed so it liked to get out on front but it does | | | | will finish like a champion. In some races there will be |
| not have to be in front. It also shows signs of some | | | | too many of one style in the race. This reveals a key |

| P++ or closer-> This horse does his best when he | | | | runners in a horse race and the speed will be fast at |
| reserves his speed to the end then passes the horses | | | | the beginning with the Front Runners trying to pull |
| in the stretch. You can spot this type of horse by | | | | away from each other they get burnt out. When this |
| looking at the previous races and see where it was | | | | happens look for the closer to finish strong blowing |
| back in the pack lengths from the leader and then it | | | | them by. Same thing for all closers allowing a few |
| closes the gap in attempt to get first place. | | | | front runners to run away with the race. Take this tip |
| S or Stalker-> This horse pretty much stays in the | | | | to the track its one of the most important factors to |
| middle of the pack he can have some closing power | | | | use in handicapping your best. |
