In the Sp Park race it looked like all the drivers were sitting up close to their horse. Unlike today it looked like all the drivers could reach up and touch their horse's butt.
The winner Tarport Hap was at the rail and last just before the half. If the horses were all hooked way out like today, and the drivers leaning way back, could she still have circled and won?
She would have been farther back at the half.
The race would have been faster, but could she have made up the added distance?
Don't know.
Just food for thought.
