Look at the winning time for that race...It was something ridiculous like 8 1/2 hours for 100 miles.

WHAT?????? Oh GOOD GOD! What idiot is riding their horse at thsi kind of pace? If what you saw you saw - and of course, you wouldn't bring it up if you didn't - clearly that pace was profoundly idiotic - and cruel. I cannot imagine what I would tell MY horsey friends in that instance. 8 hours is a respectable finishing time for a lot of 50 MILERS!!!! I don't know about you guys but I am appalled.
