In track and field or cycling events, the field typically DISREGARDS the rabbit. They know the rabbit is only in there to set an honest pace and never engage him. ONLY in horse racing do others feel the need to engage the rabbit. Wonder why that is.
Your theory would be a good one IF there weren't any other closers in the race. |

OTHERS are not the jocks in most cases. The OTHERS are horses. The comparison is asinine. You need to get on the back of a horse who wants to chase a rabbit. I would love to see you settle a 1000 lb animal who wants to go, instead of skinny tubes of some carbon fiber that has no mind of its own. BTW, dogs feel the need to chase rabbits. That being said there are a lot of closers so I dont think the rabbit wipes out these players. Last edited by pgardn : 06-07-2008 at 01:47 PM. |

Just got through the Just a Game and Acorn and was struck by the possible pace scenarios of these two races. In the first there seems to be no pace horse except Bayou's Lassie, who showed last out just how dangerous she is when loose on the lead. And in the second, all the runners look like they want to be on the front-end, except Golden Doc A; will they set it up for her finishing kick?
