How are these guys training these horses to not only handle multiple distances AND be able to mix them up at will BUT to be able to stretch them out off of a single race and have them display router stamina. This was something that some of the all time greats couldn't do, at one time. I mean, great horses would return sprinting off layoffs and then (gradually) be stretched out. I can make sense of the cutback but the stretchout is tough to handle.
I watch S Cal racing and I'm hardpressed to figure out how these guys are training these horses. Clearly, in any other sport, your routers aren't able to beat sprinters sprinting and certainly your sprinters can't be routers over a distance -- and come from off the pace to do it, no less.
