well it does show it a little more over longer trips and not so good finish possie, where they are probably compounding/weakening when they can't get the trip.

Pretty sure we've had this discussion in the past, just not finding it. I found the same. There is an increase, but not near as much as most think. And in the US, turf racing is more compressed than dirt racing, with all weather in the middle of the two. Off tracks on both turf and dirt increase the amount as well.
