turn of foot

So myth number one is that horses who finish fast in the final furlong are horses to follow because they possess a turn of foot.

A good deal of a horse's efforts at acceleration are dissipated by the surface. On grass, a turn of foot is a powerful weapon. On dirt or the All-weather it counts for very little.

The final gear change is phenomenal. His turn of foot prodigious.

The lateral turn of foot not only is the result of complicated turning movements of thigh, shank, and foot in the propulsive period, but also provides conditions for the normal transport of the limb in front after its disconnection.
