No,I said you're almost retarded.In a sprint,if you had a very consistent speed horse,and a consistent rater,then you would see a big difference (in how far back the rater is on the turn)based on track condition.1)If the speed horse had a comfortable lone lead in a sprint....2)if he used the same exact effort each time, then 3) the rater would trail him on the turn by greatly different amounts based on whether the track was fair,speed-biased,or anti-speed.On a speed-biased track the rater would be sooo far back.On a fair track,the rater would be within reach of the leader,but have plenty left to do.On an anti-speed track,the rater would be fairly close up (even before going into the turn.)He would go by the leader as they came out of the turn.
