Problem is that workout cannot ever simulate race, period.
Workout is just workout, the drill.

No trainer or secretary or anyone else know before horses is enter in the race, probable pace of the race, even 10 min before race things is changing, Late scratches!!!

Then is really to late to train your horse for probable (pace) race.??!!

Trainer can instruct rider (who is sometimes duble of weight then regular jockey ??) to pressure horse (or to let him go) from 11/16 pole to 9/16 pole or from 5/8 to ½ pole or so,..or from 5/16 to 9/16 (which is 2 furlongs on turn???) which can be in the beginning of work or end of the work. And to time him.
