One thing I like about tandems is that they provide a quick frame of reference between the tandem participants and everyone else.

But, to use tandems as a means to statically rank individual horses may be a bit difficult due to pace considerations, distance comfort level, and current form of the individual horses.

As I stated, it's a good frame of reference to get a sense of the competition in a race, but to apply the results inherent to the tandem as a hard and fast rule would be a bridge too far.
