I'm driving down the left lane of a three lane highway going 40 mph with a car in front of me that I'm drafting in behind. There is someone in the right lane next to me going the exact same speed. The car in front of me stops to turn; I slow down to 30 MPH for two seconds and swerve into the center lane and re-accelerate to 40 MPH. Clearly, I am able to benefit from this as I spent less energy over the previous quarter mile because I drafted behind, despite giving up 29 feet of distance to the guy in the right lane in that two second period.

Has anybody really ever tried to quantify how much "drafting" actually helps or hurts a horse in so far as racing goes? I understand the concept in car racing and cycling, but never heard anybody aside from TFM really espouse its impact on the running of a horse race. I'm just not sure the dynamics of a horse race are similar enough to, say, a 150 mile stage of the Tour de France or the Aaron's 499 at Talladega, to warrant the comparison.
