1. Kerry Ridgeway told me long ago that a fast 50 was harder on a horse
than a slow 100
2. It is really easy to get carried away and over condition a
horse. Once a horse is in shape he maintains that condition much longer
than a human with much less continued conditioning.
3. You can start after everyone leaves and still top ten...passing almost
everybody in the vet checks if you pick the right pace and stick to
it.
