🎩 Sport Science - Bridgerton Edition! 🏇 While at the races, Lord Bridgerton picks Nectar, the odds on favorite commenting that he's "well bred, highly trained, and well favored." Kate questions his "feeling" stating "so you've considered your horses temperament as well as the conditions of the track in order to properly assess its true potential." She continues, "Nectar ran well at Doncaster, but that was a firmer course. The weather was much cooler, thus his size was an advantage. Today the track is soft and it is hot, meaning he will struggle to make headway, overheat and slow down during the final leg, giving Highflyer, a much swifter, lighter, cooler horse, the victory." Just as Kates analysis predicted, Highflyer come our victorious after Nectar faded. Using historical data, athlete training status, and her knowledge of the sport, Kate was able to assess the likelihood of victory for her chosen horse. Sport science wins! #Bridgerton #SportScience
