RE: [RC] Standardbreds and Part Standardbreds in Endurance - heidi

Its kinda a chicken and egg question, though, isn't it?  Which came
first..."Arabs do so well in this sport because there are so bloody many
of them competing." OR "There are so bloody many of them competing
because they do so well in this sport"?  :>))


Over time, the percentage of Arabs in the sport has gone up somewhat,
because of the very thing you are talking about here, Barb.  But
nonetheless, there are still a higher percentage of Arabs winning and
earning Top Tens than there are competing overall.  So that still
indicates that as a breed, in general, they do have an edge.  (Which, of
course, doesn't mean that an outstanding individual of some other breed
can't still beat the pants off of many of them.)
