I want to follow this up with one more thought. It is common knowledge in Auto racing circles that any Driver with "some" talent can wheel a properly setup car to a great finish on a SuperSpeedway, I can list numerous examples.

Does this apply to Horse Racing?

I am eagerly awaiting your replies, thoughts, experiences, etc.

Well with cars you can miss the setup just as in racing you can miss the training and care up. But in racing you have one shot once the race starts but in NASCAR you get as 5 pit stops to get it right.

Yes--a horse that is truely meant to win can take a lesser rider to the finish line.
