but the 4th horse loves the ground..as does the 5th

when a horse acts well on a surface it normally gets him closer to rivals that don't act as well..even though they are better horses

the proximity of the 4th horse shows that even on favourable ground he was well beaten

this liking for the ground removes any exhaggerated distances re soft ground..soft ground usually accentuates the distances because horses don't act on it..that can't be levelled at the 4th horse..therefore he marks the form well.
