Re: [RC] LDs Are Different - Truman Prevatt

The pull rate stats are on David's side. While an individual horse may have an issue between 25 and 50 miles - in general the pull rates for the 25 to 50 are consistent with the mileage difference in the events. In fact up through 80 miles the pull rates are pretty consistent. However, for the 100, the (especially metabolic) pull rate is 3 to 4 times greater than in the 50. There is a quantum jump between 50 and 100 miles in th pulls that is not present between 25 and 50.

Boy, I sure can't agree with this statement. I've done many, many 25-30 mile
conditioning rides and never had a problem. It wasn't until I asked my
horses to do 50 miles that any problems ever showed up. No, a 50 isn't as
hard as 100, but there is definitely a big difference between 25-30 miles
and 50 miles.

I don't think so. A 50 just isn't very hard. A 100 is very hard. Your
argument was based on difference in difficulty, and a 50 isn't really very
much harder than an LD. It's not consistent to say that 2 25's don't add up
the same as 1 50 when 2 50's add up the same as a 100.
