Yes, and Deb Bennett noted this divergence in type (she related it more to 
distance, with a difference in the racier 50-mile type and the more agile 
100-mile type, but these flat desert 100's lean toward the former, too) 
several years ago.  I started looking at that a bit closer after she said 
that (it rang true with me when I heard it) and have to say that I've seen 
that from a ride vet's perspective, too.  One of the questions I ask people 
looking at prospects is what they intend to do, for that very reason.
