Very smart.
I thought I was beginning to be an expert on lead changes, a few years ago, and someone sent me a private message regarding a highly regarded horse who had just won a triple crown prep. The horse hadn't changed leads in a part of the race I wasn't scouting.
Not only did the horse then disappear from the Triple Crown Trail, he showed up months later and lost a couple races as a heavy favorite.
Eventually, he did win a big stakes race the following year.
Always something to learn. Always potential for seeing something valuable.
