>so, if you have two different horses, very similar in ability, each
weighing, oh, lets say 850 pounds, one carrying a rider that weighs 110 pounds,
the other carrying a rider that weighs 220 pounds, then it only amounts to a
very slight difference in the work the horse has to do because it is only an
aerobic workout? ed
It varies on par with a 5# difference at the
track--which any handicapper will tell you is significant. The takehome
message is that it isn't like a 110# difference at the track.

PS: I'm not sure I'd use the word "only" when
labeling aerobic work--that's kinda on par with the old "do you work or are you
"only" a housewife?" Just consider that the aerobic worker is considerably
more efficient than the anaerobic one. (Maybe kinda like a good housewife,
too? <g>)
