Horses that don't change leads or are slow to change leads, quite often have an issue with a hock, knee or ankle in claiming races. Young horses it can be a show stopper, like poor conformation of some sort.
You do see a few that can run all day on wrong lead, but generally in this country it is a negative if they don't switch.
