The Match Up supercedes everything
Quote:
Jim is teaching me that when a horse is headed - a neck or head in the pp's - it uses up units of energy because of the PRESSURE the horse feels when another comes alongside it.
He also points out that this " battle" often goes on for an extended period of time in a race while we just see the " point if call".
He says " Rich sometimes this battle can go for over a quarter mile.THIS horse if he can not have to face such pressure today will have ALL KINDS OF LEFTOVER ENERGY TO USE TODAY".
