But with so many Arabs in endurance, probably about 1/2 of them finish in 
the bottom 50% ;-)))

When people go to rides and see the winners are arabs, the top ten are 
arabs, and the other breeds are basically middle to back of the packers, 
they come to the conclusion that they need an arab to really compete.  This 
ain't true, but its almost a self-fulfilling truth.  I'm like you, Carolyn. 
I like to ride both standardbreds and Saddlebreds, but I am a middle to back 
of the pack rider and so I contribute to the feeling that they aren't suited 
for running up front.  I have ridden several horses in each breed that would 
have happily been a front runner if they had just had a front running rider!
