How is the 5,000 claimer able to negotiate the extra half-furlong of the 6.5f race in the same exact time as the stakes horse...when their ability levels are so different?
The ability differences are based on the length of stride. A stakes horse will cover the same distance and time in less strides. Both horses can cover the distance in the same time, but one can do it in 12 strides or less, while the other will do it in 19 or more strides.
