To show the extent of the evasion and lies, and Paul said more than just that.

In the race described below, the horse runs 27km in one hour and 28 minutes.

Left eating dust. Endurance hunting is acknowledged as unusual and rare.

The way I've seen it done (on a t.v docu') is tracking on the run in desert a
medium-size animal (a Kudu - type of antelope) in the hot mid-day sun, not
allowing the animal time to rest and recover. Try that on predator-inhabited
grassland, through abundant growth, and it'll be you who attracts attention..

You won't get anywhere near, and it'll be you who's probably surrounded.

Since you are the stubborn ass who won't accept the most basic facts.
