Excuse me?  I want to know, when I look at a horse's record, that he was 
capable of GOING 50 miles or more at a time.  I also respect a marathon 
runner who actually ran marathons, instead of just accumulating 10k's over 
time to "go the distance."  Furthermore, I respect someone who earned a 
diploma instead of repeating 9th grade 4 times to put in his "4 years of high 
school."  There IS a difference!
