Maybe the 1st types of Lead horses to deal with: Early :
Wire-to-Wire :
1) 4--1---1---1---1 <------ 4th at the break call, can pass horses to get the lead. Still must be 1st at the 1st call.
NEED-TO-LEAD
2) 1--1---1---1---1 <------
MUST be 1st out the gate,
1st at the break
call, and
1st at the 1st call......from gate to wire.
CANNOT pass horses.
Not necessarily a rule, but something at the start to work from, evaluation.
