I find it very hard to believe that any horse would come close to understanding a race in it’s entirety, but some can certainly be taught or rewarded in to having a good idea that to get ahead when asked is desirable, a fair few want that naturally too of course.
It can be very important when betting, to know what kind of horse you are betting on. Some horses want to be somewhere near the front, but are not always bothered about leading, such as Cloudy Dream or MTOY, they make great EW horses as you’ll tend to at least get your money back if they don’t win.
Others want to just run, such as Special Tiara, Peace and Co, Ar Mad, the list goes on, whether that’s because they want to be leaders or because they love to run depends on the horse I imagine, obviously they’re not such good EW bets if they occasionally burn themselves out in the first mile!
Horses can definitely be competitive, the best always are, some give up the second they know they can’t compete and get all sulky, you can actually see the exact moment that Kauto Star, while battling Denman, spots Long Run cruising past them in the 2011 GC, he jumps the last, basically says **** this, and just trots up the hill!
