In reference to:
Now, the smart rider (of which there are very few) only has
to beat the competition by one second. But most riders want
to WIN and that means beating the competition by much more
than that. Look at how many 50 mile or 100 mile rides are
won by a large interval. Sometimes an hour or more. The
smart winner rides only as fast as is necessary to beat the
second place horse and saves the excess for another day.
******************************************
Actually if the winning rider is also interested in BC -
then the time factor in being ahead could make a significant
difference - especially if the later place riders are heavier.
A win is nice - but so is BC...
