Steve,
I think you're absolutely right, not only to include such conditions but to take it a step further, if there were emphasis on longer races, owners and trainers would bring horses that can run long races. I know many thought the 1 1/2 mile marathon Breeders Cup race was a joke, but a look at what is done in UK shows these are great races and actually are looked upon as the gold standard. If there was a trend to these type races more emphasis would be put on breeding, training, and running longer races. If speed can take a back seat to stamina it's got to be a good thing. Spyder
