I can only tell you what the data showed in that webcast, they had a aparatus strapped to the horses legs , they galloped it on dirt polly and turf, and then processed the data and put it onto a chart.
You should see the amount of slippage that occures when a horse is running on turf, its hoof actually slips , stops and slips again, its amazing that they dont break all there legs off when they run.
