When you follow just about any track and see how many horses are asked to sprint, route, turf, and poly, with no consistent distance or surface, just a mixture of all these, the above is evident. When I see so many Southern CAL trainers winning with 1st time stretchouts (going two turns) -- and winning by OUTKICKING, from off the pace, routers -- the above is evident. There's a reason why world class 100 meter runners aren't running in world class distance races. (Or why mediocre distance runners are able to beat great sprinters going a distance.) Well, there's a reason NORMALLY. This doesn't apply in Tbred racing.
