    From my childhood recollections when ever a runner wanted to attempt to break the 4 minute mile barrier he always used a pacemaker.Did that help him to go faster? If so how? Does the same apply to horses?

    To aid slipstreaming, track records & the need for more speed – jocks could be seen at a racetrack near you like this – real soon! :lol:
