The visual verses the ESP or computer generated style are two different concepts or disciplines completely.

If your a match up devotee you should be using the visual as per Bradshaw's teachings. And if your a RDSS devotee using compounded fractions etc. you should be using the ESP % Median running styles.

I believe it would be less confusing to both concepts if they didn't appear together on screens and the appropriate one appeared only on the screens that the different concepts use exclusively.

Bradshaw had a unique ability to carry the match up from the gate to the finish. Very few can do that and grasp the 3rd FR. Also by carrying through the 3rd Fr. I believe he had a better grasp of a horses running style that few can grasp. His Voodoo magic came from doing thousands of races and watching them also.

Specific ESP designations by parameters is similar to what excel and database individual's try to obtain. The difference is all the work has already been done and proven. % Med. is excellent for a track profile, to tell if a horse can stretch out or is better suited for the turf etc. There are certain ranges that very few horses can win with such as over 70% because they stop on a dime with very sharp deceleration. Not that they can't, if the field are all like that than someone has to win.

Hope this clarifies it for you.
