Richie,Thanks very much for turning me on to that thread,it was one of best I read on bankroll management.It's not really discussed here much that's why I really enjoyed Mike's perspective.I know most will probably disagree but I still feel money management is just as important as picking the right paceline.Thanks again Jeff

People should probably be aware that Randy uses visual, positional running styles. There is nothing wrong with that. Jim Bradshaw used them, Tom Brohammer, Jim Craner and any number of other people.

Tim is right about them being very subjective. Every person I know of that uses visual running styles defines them differently and uses them for slightly different purposes. They do not mix and match well. Make sure you understand the particular flavor you are dealing with.

The lattler day Sartin Methodology running styles are defined by how the horse distributes its energy during the race, originally taken from various percentages of %Early. I suppose they probably use %Median now. They do have the advantage of being largely hidden from the general public, since they are generated by the software.

No matter what you use, its going to steer you wrong a fair percntage of the time and be a great help a fair percentage of the time. I use both Randy Giles visual position running styles and Sartin energy distribution styles. When they disagree I feel I have some extra information and a decision to make. Learn your tools well.

The new Pace Appraiser past performances are now available as a heads up to folks wanting to check it out. I took a look and it seems very cool!
