Fastest Pace Last Race

[delayjf]

I have been reviewing the match up posts and find the concept interesting, especially regarding Bradshaw's FPLR. I have looked high and low, but I'm not sure I understand exactly how to apply the FPLR concept.

- Are you looking for any horse who ran in the FPLR, regardless of their performance in that race (i.e. 20 lengths off the pace or getting beat by 20 lengths at the finish)

OR

- Are you applying a performance criteria to the FPLR concept whereby the horse must have either pressed or challenged the early pace even if they did not finish well, or perhaps the horse in question finished competitively (is competitively defined?) in the race in order to be considered as a FPLR horse.

Thanks in advance.
