Horses don't eat during races (and aren't evolutionarily disposed to marathons, anyway). No edge there; it takes quite a while for their symbiotic gut flora to downconvert fodder to glucose.

My gut flora won't do that, so they do have an edge. (Not during a marathon, but that wasn't my point anyway.)
