The role of a pacemaker—a horse ridden to set a fast tempo for a stablemate—also demonstrates the deep strategic layers of racing. One expert compares this tactic to athletics, noting that everyone wants a leader to "latch on and be dragged into the race". However, this can backfire. In the 2024 Juddmonte International, the pacemaker set off at a blistering speed, only to fade and allow others to swoop past.
