I agree

and 2) nothing "forces the conservative riders" to do anything.  Oh, unless 
you mean their desire to win....Otherwise, they are free to ride their own 
ride.

It does if you MUST gallop over the good parts in order to finish on time. 
All the extra hold times & "must walk" trails that are put in assuming 
people will go full speed everywhere else, forces them to do just that. They 
only punish the horses instead of the stupid riders.

Agreed
