Nice thread. I'd have to say from what I've seen, it would be harder to go through the turn on the wrong lead then the stretch. Though technically it's not "wrong" in the stretch. The reason is based on observation, I've seen very few horses on the wrong lead in the turn, and quite a few in the stretch. I would think that means something since I am only looking at stakes races and good horses, have to assume they've been trained to do it this wa.
