I have to agree with ranchwest. You have to roll your own running styles in order for them to be helpful. The Giles' book Extreme Pace Handicapping was mentioned in the Pace Ratings thread. It's a good place to start, but I will admit that some of his examples were confusing as to how he labeled the horses' styles. It reminded me a little of the first printing of Jim Bradshaw's Match Up book. The Hat might have known what he meant but there were too many times when it wasn't clear to me.
