Summary

This quote emphasizes the significance of the final outcome rather than temporary positions of advantage. Whether referring to an election or a horse race, temporary leads or current standings hold little significance compared to the ultimate result. Ultimately, the one who crosses the finish line first, be it a candidate in an election or a horse in a race, is the one that truly matters. It urges us to focus on the end goal rather than be swayed by momentary circumstances.
