what does the average racehorse workout look like?

One believes that the stresses of racing were no more or less than they are today, while eventing has lost its steeplechase phase–and that wasn’t at top racing speed ever–IIRC, the speed was supposed to be over 800 meters per minute, but I can’t remember how much over 800 it was.

The steeplechase phase of a CCI**** was 690mpm (about 26.8mph) over a distance of approx 2 miles. The fences were also smaller than true chases fences.

Thanks for the correction. I wasn’t able to pull up a set of 4* rules from long format days. And didn’t bother to check the current FEI rules because I didn’t think the old chase requirements were preserved.
