Fitness can be thought of as the ability of a horse to complete the required amount of physical activity without experiencing exhaustion, distress, or injury.
Horses that are not conditioned sufficiently to cope with the amount of exertion that is being asked of them will fatigue faster and are more likely to injure themselves.
Using an objective measure to gauge your racehorse's fitness will not only help you tailor your conditioning programs to the individual needs of each horse but also help you to pick up any abnormalities in your horse's body before they become a bigger problem.
