"The truest measure of the class of a horse is the ability to extend his speed over longer distances. That is the direct measure as opposed to indirect measures like the conditions of the race or the value of the purse.
Lots of horses can run a fast quarter. Not nearly as many can run a fast 3/4 after such an opening fraction. And far fewer still can run the last quarter of a mile in 23 seconds in a mile and a quarter race."
This is the statement to which I was referencing. IMO it would be defined as qualitative for this purpose. Your question implies that you could see how it could be quantitative. Would you mind explaining that implication.
