Bris rates all horses in the pp's.
I change about 20% of the ratings.
I consider an E horse to have early speed and has NOT passed a horse in any race.
An EP is about 2, and no more than 3 lengths behind at the first call and passes horses.
A P is 3-5 lengths behind at the first call.
An S is 5+ lengths behind.
I ignore the NA horses and rate them. If never passing a horse, but always starting a few lengths back and fading is an E. A horse that comes out of the gate double digits behind and doesn't pass a horse is an S. I very seldom do a pace line figure on these hopeless cases.
I never label maidens. Their running style is not established. I wait for a win.
Shippers from Europe, if no clue in comment lines, I rate a P.
