I remember a while back the controversy about feeding fat during
a race. It was stated that since fat took longer to be metabolized by
the horse's body, it was of little use. If your horse is doing a 100,
even
a winning horse is out there for about 13 hours total, right? The rest
are out there a lot longer. Wouldn't fat have had time to be metabolized
by then? Wouldn't it be able to provide a much needed mid ride,
sustained booster? Or am I way off?
