Hello James,

The visual style ESP is based on how far a horse is from the leader basically at a call. Not a very accurate way to determine a horse's true ESP. Its primarily used for the matchers and those using the match up. I have found that a very small number of people can employ the match up with any success. And why even brother as its included within the RDSS program.

The computer driven ESP is much more accurate (% Median) and is based on Total Energy and how the horse distributes that Energy. A horse can go wire to wire and not be an Early horse as an example. Many horses on the lead slow down and only do what they have to in order to maintain that lead.

% Median is a seldom used tool today but an effective one if properly employed and with a through knowledge of its capability and limitations. It will increase one's ability to get winners.
