Front-runners, stalkers and closers

• Front-runner (선행): leads from the start.
• Stalker (선입): sits just behind the leaders, then passes late.
• Closer (추입): saves energy at the back and finishes fast.

Several front-runners usually means a fast early pace that sets the race up for closers. A lone front-runner can often lead all the way. Consider the draw and distance too.
