Excellent article. I take small exception with one excerpt:

"The most important time for a horse to switch leads in a race is when they have turned for home. This is when most horses make their run. or, if they are running on the lead, try to sustain their run."


It's my understanding, horses don't "make a run" when they turn for home (except on the turf perhaps), but just slow down less than other horses. They are not accelerating but decelerating slower than everyone else.
