Actually, the body score studies at Tevis would indicate that it IS the 
horses who eat well who do well.  Likewise, those who eat are those who do 
not run out of energy.  Even in the CC discussion, one of the things that 
came out repeatedly was that the horses that don't eat well at the checks are 
the ones that are most likely to benefit from the CC.  Yes, not getting fuel 
into the horse is a BIG limiting factor to performance!
