Do horses know where the finish line is?
I has a simple question.
Do horses know where the finish line is and what is expected of them on a race?
The reason I ask is becasue I hear a LOT of commentary on the podcast like "the horse can make his move late" and statements like that.
Do they really mean that the *IF* jockey treats the horse right and utilizes his reserve power correctly, the horse may have the energy reserves to move ahead late?
Or does the horse know where the finish line is and does the horse know by himself that he needs to move ahead of the pack?
Just curious.
