Any sport that winnows out more than 80% of the competition via lameness and/or metabolics needs scrutiny to rectify the attendant problems. Now, if the problem is not one of the mentioned causes and the riders just quit, then there is still an inherent problem.

 

One of the principles of good competition is to have a field where there is true competition. It is not to fashion a concept where only a  few have any chance of completing the course.

 

I am not unfamiliar with international competition having been associated with several sports on that level. I stand by my observation.

As posted <<<120 horses started the race and last time I

heard anything only 23 were left in>>>

 

If this is correct then it was not an endurance competition but a travesty. There should be many heads hung in shame.

You know Bob, unless you are there to see it first hand, you have little to talk about.  I have been there, seen it?you may be correct concerning some of the riding, but not for all of it.
