Sea Pigeon, for example, was best when 85% fit according to his trainer and jockey, as when absolutely fit as a flea he was more inclined to run on his nerves and disappoint. This is certainly true of a great many lesser horses too.

I can also manage a rising trot, but the horse has to be very big as I'm a fat b*stard. I do hope this qualifies me to have such an opinion.
