Your correct Bill about just using the EPR or SC (2nd call) to determine if a horse is early.
The old % Early,just using the 2nd call or the old visual has long been superseded by % Median which includes the 1st FR plus 2nd FR for a more finite rating which is much more accurate. The visual really gets pace handicappers into trouble because a horse can go wire to wire and still be a SP or a S type running style.
There is more to this than just % Median, but % Median will outperform the old Early rating and the visual ESP running style.
