RE: [RC] 2007 Fort Howes - heidi

Also note that the LD distance was apparently a misprint as John sent it to 
Ridecamp--it is listed in the calendar and was listed in Jan's post to the AERC 
forum as a 35-miler, not a 25-miler.  So it wasn't as much of a difference as 
it would have been, if it had been 10 miles shorter--although yes, the 50s and 
100s definitely traveled faster.  (Which, as has been pointed out, is pretty 
common.)

Is it common for the 50 mile winner to beat the winning time of the 25 
mile ride?

Probably not, but it is quite typical that the 50's run their 25 mile 
splits faster than the 25 mile event is run. Next time just divide the 
50 times in half and compare them to the 25 mile times. This winning 50 
was running twice as fast as the winning 25.

Now for something more interesting - multiply the 25 mile winning time 
by 4 (16:16). and compare that to the 100's. You have to go down to the 
22 second horse to finish the 100 to find a time slower than 16:16. In 
the FEI division there were no times slower than 16:16.

So the both the long race and the middle race were faster - by a large 
amount than the short race.
