PACE Score
The table above looks at how running style affects performance for M Scudamore handicap chasers, aged 5-8 (2014>). I can’t use the exact rules as the system above, which I’ve researched in HRB. For the pace information I use Geegeez Gold.
1 – is held up, 2 is mid division, 3 is prominent and 4 is leading.
The place % is similar for all groups but as is no surprise, it’s harder for those held up out the back (1). But it’s pleasing to see that he’s more than happy for his chasers to lead/race prominent, as he should be.
