Tom Ivers or others, could you give us a brief overview of warming up the
various systems?  I've read different recommendations.  Should an endurance
horse be warmed up differently from other race horses?  It would seem that
doing your warmup at the beginning of a race rather than pre-race could lose
valuable time if you're going for a win or top ten.
