Runners that switch late , don't switch at all, or worse, switch back and forth, may have physical issues.

This is what a closer look thru the lifetime PP's reveal about Sparkle Slew. When this happens there is something making her uncomfortable physically. My question for mountainman was kind of redundant. He's spoken on the subject before and I have plenty of information available to make the correct judgement on this one.
What we all receive now is an excellent tip on how to watch for the lead change in action! I have not heard this before about a thoroughbred stride but this is the same way I watch standardbreds run in gait. The rear legs show better when the runner is struggling to keep on stride.
