i'll throw in Shamwari Lodge's split..54.2

now thats what a jog and sprint looks like..4 seconds slower than Bangladores race at same point

i read elsewhere that some people belive you can pull back time lost early..this shows you why thats not possible

they ran the last 4f in 47.15 in this race..just shy of 12 seconds per furlong

so even though they saved lots of petrol its physically impossible to run any faster than about the 12 second furlong..

thats why when you get behind in a slow run race its a physical impossibility to pull back too many lengths lost..a horse would have to run say 11.5 for those final furlongs to get near the leaders
