If you view horses as being able to run an "X" speed figure regardless of it's position etc... IMO, you will never appreciate certain things.
IMHO, the numbers horses earn are primarily the result of ability. However, they are also the result of running style, pace, the competitive nature of the race, position, stamina, race development etc...
IMHO, in marginal situations, when you find a horse that typically only wins when it gets the lead, you have to discount its chances a bit when you know it won't get the lead because they tend not to win even if it looks like they have a slight edge in the figures.
