Re: [RC] [RC] FW: More Dubai - Susan Young CaseyI don't know guys. 16 finishers out of 120 starters. That's an 87% FAILURE rate. But, that may be what they go for over there. Boy am I glad our rides are run with the horses' welfare in mind. I can't think of a sport where an 87% failure rate would be acceptable.
