Interesting, Tom, when I read this phrase it struck me as one of the most 
nebulous of all "subtleties," is the RIDER of the horse.  Left to his own, I 
believe most horses could/would negotiate the fifty or hundred miles before 
them (provided they WANTED to) albeit not fast enough to win the buckle or 
the bucket.
    That Not being the case, it is incumbent upon the rider to ensure that if 
they cannot be an "asset" to the horse's attempt, then they should endeavor 
to minimize being a "liability" if at all possible.
    The discourse before us lends me to believe that there are those trying 
to do just that.  The "tools" available to you seem many and your "desire" to 
share them with us (speaking for myself, of course) is appreciated.
    Information is important...but what we do with it seems even more 
important.
