Yes, you should have asked the vet to change the
card. The vet did not understand how the pull codes are used. Even
though the horse was deemed "sound enough to continue" by the vet, the reason
that made YOU choose to pull was an issue of soundness. "Rider option" was
perhaps poorly named--it should have been something like "rider issue" or "rider
incapacity" or something like that.

“RO” is what
the vet put on the card. Are you saying I should have made him change
the card? I believe that this issue is currently being addressed as to
what the reason is for the pull -- getting a better definition of the RO
pulls. Yes, it was Rider Option because the vet declared him sound
enough to continue.
