10 k winner

a horse that wins a 10 clmr is a 10 k horse....and let's face it a 10 k clmr
is more inconsistent than say a 20 k clmr...so the chances that he will repeat
his performance are much less along with the other factors that could come into
play. Now if it truly a rise in class it is much harder to repeat that winning performance...but being a 10k clmr in a higher class race makes it a much riskier
bet...and not worth the investment unless trainer has shown he can pull this
manuever before multiple times...some can --- some can't

my two cents (for what it's worth)

Mike Mitchell in Southern California can and does that maneuver well.

Speed is measurable
Stamina is measurable
Heart is intangible but can be defined sometimes by clichés
1) impose their will
2) refuse to lose
3) Who is willing to hurt more when muscles are strained and lungs are screaming for air
4) Intimidation (body language, eyes etc)
5) Alpha
6) Mind set of “eat or be eaten”

My daughter raced for a number of years and we spent many hundreds of hours discussing physiological warfare, positioning, when to apply pressure within a race, and when to take control of a race. At the time she left the sport she was ranked number 1 or 2 in the country………

There is always someone faster but the trick is how to beat faster opponents – it’s done all the time!

The great race horses of yester years all had those characteristics – it’s how they are wired!

I have never kept records on this phenomenon, but have observed it many times over the years.

It is really just a theory based on these observations and my belief that class is a moving target, and each individual horse has it's own level of it that can fluctuate based on current form and those that are in the current herd. IE: Today's race.
