Evens it up.
Generally it's one of the better horses in the race leading as well. Evens it up that an inferior horse can get a cheap run.
The advantage received by way of PBD is negated severely without sprint lanes. These inferior horses may not be able to burn early to lead because they will falter late, let them get a sit and they are in the game. They take a sit on a track with no sprint lane and it's game over most of the time.
So what happens in a non PBD race, are you putting witches hats in the sprint lane?
I get it, you are not happy with the PBD advantage.........you want more!......ahaa!.......a sprint lane to give you a clear run to the line, so you have an added advantage!.........but you want even more!.........OK, a set of steak knives as well! Don't we want the best horse to win?
What happens if your "lowly" assessed individual has no gate speed to take advantage of your self indulgent advantage, and another "highly" assessed individual gets this spot!...........where to now!...........an extended arm on the mobile in front of it to make sure "lowly assessed" individual will have the option to hand up the lead!
