On the lead in the turn
Good lesson FTL thank you
I think your showing a real stong factor.
Your commentary of the horse on the lead in the first two fractions
supports the idea of maidens who struggle on the turn
and lose all chance to the lead horses
Here is Doc's comments on maidens from Pace Makes The Race
in the turn time article page 336
"Some horses,especially maidens, tend to loaf on the turn. This comes from fear of the turn based on inexperience and the inability to change leads.
(stepping off the proper rear foot) Maidens who can run superior turn times are frequent winners next time out"
