I should have been more clear. I admit that by saying the horse accelerates in the stretch I was appearing to argue against my own position on even pace running. I meant that by running an even pace the horse would have enough energy left to not decelerate in the stretch so it would be accelerating relative to other horses who were tiring. In absolute terms, you are correct, it would not be accelerating.
