Those early runners have it easy the first 3f then hit a wall at the top of the lane and stop. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

If how the wind affects horses is similar to how wind affects a golf ball in flight, no, you can not assume it cancels out.
In golf, when the ball is into the wind, the hurt is greater than the help when travel with the wind.
And then remember, too, that horses on the lead are experiencing the full brunt of the wind when running into it while those in the pack do not. This is the same as the touring rider like in the Tour de France.
