The PCZ is really an ability rating. Not all running styles are created equally. For example, an E/P7 that has a pace comfort zone of 1.0 is not as talent as an E/P7 with a PCZ of 4.0. So if tye early part of the pace picture looks like this:
E/P7 - PCZ 0.5
E/P5 - PCZ 0.5
E/P6 - PCZ 1.0
E/P5 - PCZ 3.0
I'm more interested in the last early pace horse with the PCZ 3.0. This horse is much more talented than the other three. I'm considering form or eligibility conditions...just the pace picture. In other words, as the front-end builds we need more talent. The PCZ gives us that information.
