...So, Paul, if you (and the rest of us) can come up with a way to
make something exciting out of horses going around a track 50 times, you may
have something worth watching. ...
I know! I know! I know!!!
Endurance Derby!!!
We use a 440 yard track! (Better audience contact anyway.) Two
teams
of five riders. As the riders circle the track, the members of a team
work
together to "launch" one of their members ahead of the pack. Then
they
work together to block any of the other team's members from breaking
loose.
The rider who has broken loose laps the field and comes up on the
rear
of the pack. Then the other team works together to prevent
the loose rider
from passing any of them! 400 laps!! No holds barred!
