Not to infer some mystical force at work, but watching lots of races I have no interest in has convinced me of strong, momentary dynamics in play. Dynamics that can nullify race-flow, trips, strategy, and even how horses travel. And I don't think it traces to class or should necessarily influence how we interpret performance.
We know less than we think we do about what happens and why during a horse race.
