 Really? Could have fooled me by the way you were stating things here.
 "Greyhound" to me is the epitomy of the "lean, mean, racing machine"
 with lots of muscle but very little body fat or gut fill, 
 which is what I understood you to be promoting.
 Glad I was wrong.

Again, you confuse body fat and hay belly with lean muscle mass. My trainers 
go to the track and their buddies call their horses "fat"--even while they 
lose race after race to them. The horses are not fat--that is useful muscle, 
carfully laid on over months of hard exercise combined with a 
carbohydrate-based ration. These "fat" horses probably carry less adipose 
tissue on them then their buddies' horses.
