I'm not a trainer by any means, but I would think if you are really holding a horse back and not giving her her head, and she's only 85% fit to begin with, wouldnt it wear out the horse a lot more to fight with her the whole run?

I would think it would have to. She never looked happy going down the backstretch. Her ears were pinned the entire time. I wonder if they're going to continue with the figure-eight.
