This is the final ride of the season for this batch of young (4,5,6  
yr old) horses - they have to progressively qualify for these rides  
and the older ones have been progressively qualifying over 1 or more  
seasons. Initially the younger horses must qualify over short  
distances with MAXIMUM speeds imposed. France's young horse  program  
is not about racing young horses, it is about qualifying and  
producing mature endurance horses.

I don't know if this final ride has maximum speeds imposed for the  
youngest horses, but the previous qualifying rides do.

Anybody out there know the full answer to Kim's questions?
