There are a variety of ways and reasons runners change leads. I need to be better at finding and using these subtle but powerful indicators so I can compete with wagering warriors who use these tools as sharpened swords. My old take on a positive lead change was like the porn judge who said "I know it when I see it."
Many current posters have previously weighed in on this subject. Check out the new "tag" at the bottom of this thread. It's a nice example of the gold mine of information were are sitting on here for anyone to dig into.
