Thanks for this.
I have a general question: Does the style/way a thoroughbred runs make it more or less pertinent for the trainer to work the horse hard for a workout?
For example, should a horse that typically runs early need to show a faster workout, something along the lines of say a 36 second 3f, a 48 second 4f etc., to show that it is in form?
Conversely, should the criteria of a workout be a bit more relaxed for a closer/late horse because its rate of deceleration is less so than the front running speedball? I mean a 4f workout is not enough space to demonstrate if a late running horse will have the ability to close.
