A lead change refers to an animal, usually a horse, moving in a canter or gallop, changing from one lead to the other. There are two basic forms of lead change: simple and flying. It is very easy to define the correct lead from the incorrect lead. When a horse is executing the correct lead, the inside front and hind legs reach farther forwards than the outside legs.

The favourite's stablemate Noonday set the pace and led the field into the straight but Cap and Bells went to the front soon after and drew away to win "in a canter" by six lengths. Lord Ellesmere's 50/1 outsider Sabrinetta (ridden by the American C Jenkins) finished second, with three lengths back to Minnie Dee (owned by Richard Croker and ridden by another American Lester Reiff) in third place. According to the Los Angeles Herald "the race furnished extraordinary proof of the superior ability of American breeders, trainers and jockeys".

He started at 10/1 with the favourite being an unnamed colt (later named Paradox) owned by the Duke of Westminster. Fred Archer held Melton up in the early stages before moving him up into a challenging position approaching the final furlong. Melton quickened well and won a "most exciting" race by half a length from Xantrailles, with the Duke of Westminster's colt and Royal Hampton dead-heating for third. On his final start of the year he carried top weight in the Criterion Stakes over the same course on October 20, starting at odds of 2/5 and winning "in a canter" by one and a half lengths from Golden Ray.

The 1924 Derby Stakes was run in exceptionally wet and testing conditions at Epsom Racecourse on 4 June. Salmon-Trout, who was regarded as the Aga Khan's second string behind the 2000 Guineas winner Diophon was never in contention and finished sixth behind Sansovino who won easily from St Germans and Hurstwood. On his first appearance after his poor run in the Derby, Salmon-Trout contested the Princess of Wales's Stakes over one and a half miles on 3 July at Newmarket in which he was ridden by Vic Smyth and started at odds of 5/1. He won "in a canter" by three lengths and a head from Parmenio and Obliterate.

Carrying a weight of 136 pounds, she won the race by ten lengths "in a canter" from Inca and two others. A heel injury forced Saucy Sue to miss a run against colts and older horses in the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown in July, but she returned later in the month to win the Nassau Stakes over ten furlongs at Goodwood. On 12 September, Saucy Sue was stepped up in distance for the Park Hill Stakes over fourteen and a half furlongs at Doncaster Racecourse. Taylor's original intention had been to run the filly in the St Leger at the same meeting, but plans were revised after she was beaten by Picaroon in a trial race at Manton.

In early 1929, Tiffin was reported to be working well at Beckhampton and was expected to run in a public trial race before taking her chance in the 1000 Guineas. The filly then fell gravely ill with an "internal ailment" which placed her life in danger and forced her to miss all her spring engagements including the Guineas and the Oaks. She made her first appearance as a three-year-old at Royal Ascot in June when she ran in the five furlong Fern Hill Stakes. Tiffin won "in a canter" from some of the best British sprinters with Le Phare, a colt who went on to win the Sussex Stakes and the Stewards' Cup, taking second place.

He returned to the track on the opening day of the Royal Ascot in June where he finished third to Zealot and The Abbot in the Prince of Wales's Stakes conceding fifteen pounds to the winner. On the following afternoon he won the £880 Biennial Stakes "in a canter" from Bladud, Brotherhood and Pride of the Ocean. He turned out again on the third day of the meeting and came home third behind the filly Cipolata and the four-year- old Discord in the New Biennial Stakes. In October Petronel was assigned a weight of 103 pounds for the Cesarewitch Handicap over two and a quarter miles at Newmarket and started the 5/1 favourite.

Reve d'Or was then stepped up in distance for the 109th running of the Oaks Stakes over one and a half miles at Epsom Racecourse. She started the 8/11 favourite ahead of Lady Muncaster, with Freedom and Hawthorn being the only others in the nine-runner field to start at less that 25/1. Reve d'Or was settled by Wood in mid-division before making steady progress and turned into the straight in second place behind the 40/1 outsider St Helen. The favourite overtook the outsider inside the last quarter mile and drew away to win "in a canter" by three lengths with a long gap back to Freedom in third.

Papyrus began his three-year-old season in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on 2 May. Although he was short of peak fitness he ran creditably to finish fourth behind Ellangowan and retained his position as favourite for the Derby. Two weeks later he was sent to Chester Racecourse where he started even money favourite for the Chester Vase over the Derby distance of one and a half miles, and won "in a canter" by three lengths from Triumph. At Epsom, Papyrus started at odds of 100/15 (approximately 6.7/1) in a field of nineteen runners for the Derby, with Town Guard starting favourite at 5/1, the two colts having headed the betting lists since the previous autumn.

Reports early in 1934 suggested that Colombo had made good progress over the winter and was performing impressively in trial gallops. On his three-year-old debut at Newmarket on 19 April, Colombo was ridden by Johnstone for the first time in public and successfully moved up to one mile by winning the Craven Stakes "in a canter" by four lengths from the Aga Khan's colt Osman Pasha, who was carrying twenty pounds less than the winner. Both his physical appearance and manner of victory were highly praised by observers including the Sporting Life's correspondent. Johnstone's riding was closely scrutinised, especially by those who felt that his undoubted strength and successes in Australia and France were outweighed by his lack of British experience.

Buveur d'Air was ridden by Geraghty in all four of his races in the 2017/2018 National Hunt season. He began his campaign in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle Racecourse on 2 December and won in a "canter" by five lengths from Irving after taking the lead three hurdles from the finish. Only three horses took the field against the champion in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton Park Racecourse 24 days later and The New One was the only one of the trio given any serious chance of causing an upset. Starting at odds of 2/11, Buveur d'Air raced in second before overtaking The New One at the last and "cruised" away to win by two and a quarter lengths.

With Wood in the saddle he dominated the race in the closing stages and "romped" to victory by four lengths from Stonecrop. On the following afternoon John Watts took the ride when the colt started favourite for the ten furlong Drawing Room Stakes and won "in a canter" by four length from Henley. Later in the meeting however he was beaten a head by Blue Grass in the Racing Stakes after which bookmakers offered him at odds of 40/1 for the St Leger whilst Bell's Life described him as one of the "ragged rank and file". At York in August he carried a weight of 126 pounds fourteen furlong Great Yorkshire Stakes in which he was ridden by Watts and started at odds of 9/2.

Mammals of Australia Few naturalist had the opportunity to observe and document the behaviour of the two species, one of the few existing accounts suggesting that it moved "like a broken-down hack in a canter, apparently dragging the hind quarters after it". This is contradicted by the Aboriginal people of central Australia, who knew it well and reported that if disturbed, it was capable of running with considerable speed by breaking into a smooth, galloping sprint. Chaeropus moved with a distinctive gait, exaggerated by their proportionally long and slender limbs that resemble a large grazing mammal like the African antelope. Each forelimb had two functional toes and the rear limb ending in a hoof like toe, with an apparent advantage when used to quickly evade a perceived threat.

He won the Buckenham Stakes and the Hopeful Stakes, before running in the season's most prestigious two-year-old race, the Middle Park Plate on 10 October. Carrying top weight of 129 pounds he started 11/8 favourite in a field of fourteen and won in a race record time of 1:15.2, beating Gulliver by two lengths. The unplaced horses included the colt Enthusiast and the filly Minthe, who went on to win the 2000 Guineas and the 1000 Guineas respectively. Up to this point, all his races had been over five or six furlongs but on his final start of the year he moved up to seven furlongs for the first time and added the Dewhurst Stakes, giving ten pounds to Enthusiast and winning "in a canter".

On her first run as a three-year-old Vaucluse contested the Tudor Plate at Sandown Park but slipped up and fell in a race that she looked likely to win. On 30 April Vaucluse started the 5/2 favourite in a fifteen-runner field for the 103rd running of the 1000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile course. Ridden by Fred Rickaby, she took the lead soon after the start and won by three quarters of a length from Silver Tag, with a length and a half back to Bright in third place. With Rickaby again in the saddle, Vaucluse started 11/10 favourite for the New Oaks over one and a half miles at Newmarket on 17 June but finished unplaced behind the outsider Snow Marten who won "in a canter".

Tetratema never contested a maiden race, beginning his racing career by winning the valuable National Breeder's Produce Stakes over five furlongs at Sandown Park Racecourse. At Goodwood in July he was ridden by Carslake to a four length victory in the £850 Molecomb Stakes at odds of 1/2 defeating a well-regarded colt named Orpheus, the winner of the New Stakes, "in a canter". In September, Tetratema returned to win the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster by four lengths and in the following month he won the Imperial Produce Stakes at Kempton by six lengths from two opponents. On his final start of the year he contested Britain's most important two-year-old race, the £3,000 Middle Park Stakes over six furlongs at Newmarket and won by six lengths at odds of 1/4.

Nun Nicer was back in action a week later when she finished third to the colt Addendum in the Foal Stakes over one mile at Sandown Park, conceding eleven pounds to the winner. At Lingfield Park on 9 July the filly started the 7/4 favourite for the £1,175 Imperial Stakes over one mile but after taking the lead in the straight she was overtaken in the closing stages and finished fourth behind Schonberg, Bend Sinister and Lowood. On 2 September at Sandown Nun Nicer started at the unusual odds of 1/50 for the September Stakes over one mile and won "in a canter" by two lengths from Simon Pure, her only opponent. Three weeks later the filly started 2/7 favourite for the £1,084 Palatine Plate at Manchester and won very easily having "sailed to the front" in the straight.

Sibola began her second season in the Wood Ditton Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse on 12 April. Ridden by the American jockey Tod Sloan she started 11/10 favourite, led from the start, and "in a canter" by three lengths. Over the Rowley Mile at Newmarket on 28 April 1899, Sibola, again ridden by Sloan, started the 13/8 favourite for the 86th running of the 1000 Guineas with the best fancied of her thirteen opponents being Myakka (Prendergast Stakes), Strike A Light and Victoria May (Lavant Stakes). Sibola led for most of the way and won easily by three lengths from Fascination with two lengths back to Musa in third place. The American filly was stepped up in distance to contest the Oaks Stakes over one and a half miles at Epsom Racecourse on 2 June and was made the 4/7 favourite despite suffering from a mouth abscess and being distracted by a cat which was released onto the track.

2002–2013 coach John Worsfold The 2003 and 2004 seasons were opposites of each other. In 2003, the Eagles ran riot early, sitting in the high reaches of the ladder mid-season before injury took out the second part of the season and the club slumped to finish just inside the finals, and were bundled straight out; in 2004, the season was looking down the barrel early, but a dramatic late-season recovery saw the Eagles steal a spot in the finals in the last week of the home and away season, only to be thrashed in a thunderstorm by the Sydney Swans first up. 2004 however saw the first ever Eagle to win Australian Football's highest individual award, when Chris Judd won the Brownlow Medal in a canter. Previous best West Coast performances had been runner-up efforts from Craig Turley in 1991, Peter Matera in 1994 and 1997, and Ben Cousins in 2003.

He had fantastic acceleration and a tricky swerve, but he could also stop dead in his tracks whilst running at full speed, which left many would-be tacklers whizzing into touch! He once accepted a £100 sprint challenge with a flying called Buckie Green from Wigan, at Springfield Park, Wigan, and won in a canter, (based on increases in average earnings, this would be approximately £37,760 in 2017). Fish played , i.e. number 2, and scored a try, and a goal in Warrington's 10-3 victory over Australia in the 1908–09 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain tour match during the 1908–09 season at Wilderspool Stadium, Warrington, Saturday 14 November 1908, in front of a crowd of 5,000, due to the strikes in the cotton mills, the attendance was badly affected, the loss of earnings meant that some fans could not afford to watch the first tour by the Australian rugby league team, and played and scored a try in the 8-8 draw with Australia in the 1908–09 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain tour match during the 1908–09 season at Wilderspool Stadium, Warrington, Monday 8 February 1909, in front of a crowd of 7,000.
