ok, I haven't seen much response on this so I'll step up and ask the burning
question.

Why was this horse not pulled at the finish?

Does FEI not require 'fit to continue' at the finish?

Was there a 'trot for completion' (apart from crossing the finish line) at
which the gait abnormality was not present?
