Slow and steady wins the race as they say instead of teaching to be faster and smarter. It's not a proven fact that if someone is faster at their job they would surely not be able to maintain.
And you only win once the most important part is to sustain. What if you win today and can't carry on next week, what should that be called Loose motion.

The original version was "the tortoise and Achilles." It was not intended to be a children's story at all. The Greek philosopher Zeno, in the 5th century BC, posed a number of paradoxes involving motion. These have elicited responses from subsequent philosophers and from mathematicians. In fact, Zeno's paradoxes can be resolved using calculus (which of course was not invented until centuries later.)
But yes, the later versions with the hare became moralizing tales. Although I think the point is that steady consistency pays off in the long run. Like all metaphors, it has it's limits, which is why I think these tales are best presented to children as discussion starters.
