Not that this is necessarily the case, but often the workmates are slower horses, and it would hardly surprise me if this horse was ridden hard, as a target for Dunkirk, while Dunkirk wasn't used as much.

I'm not saying this is the case but this is a major reason just finding workmates, without seeing the works, is a deceptive handicapping angle.
