On the same planet where, to here the intelligencia on it, jocks INTENTIONALLY slow their horses down early so they can make a late run.

Think about how many 'mediocre' poly horses do well on dirt; then consider the opposite.

P.S. the set of PACE (slow or fast) is a SUBSET of the setup set. Thinking of races only in terms of PACE means that you're not considering ALL the possible cases.
