Power move continued.....

The guidelines are indeed fluid, and those of us that value, and use the power move, find that race fans undervalue it, their focus is on finish position and the reigning Byer Speed Figure. Was introduced to the move at Waterford Park in Chester West Virginia (now christened Mountainer) in the late 70's.

You're free to set your own guidelines and only time will validate or negate their value. I've found any move, that includes horses passed and lengths gained that equals 5 or more is worth consideration. A move of 7 and it's time bet.

Like every handicapping factor it's just one more to consider. However, any time the betting public is unaware or undervalues this type information it's a green light for me.
