And in one context, I mean "language" literally. The terms "stalker" and "presser," for instance, tend to get conflated, confused, and reversed, having no standardized definition-at least that I'm aware of.

I use my own categories.
Pure Speed
Front Runner
Near the Lead
All others
I’m only interested in the horses that may contribute to the pace.
Each horse is defined by a style. They also have a number so I can separate horses in the same category. The one thing I don’t have is a good “late” rating. It’s very complex to create a good late rating.
