Re: Re: [RC] Changing Vet/Pulse Criteria - roleyed



It wouldn't MATTER to you UNLESS you were in the Top Ten.  The 15 minute
recovery ONLY APPLIES TO HORSES IN THE TOP TEN. Now on the other hand,
if you had raced for 10th and 11th place, and you took 10th but didn't
recover in 15 minutes, you would lose your Top Ten, but it would have NO
effect on your completion.  Your horse would ALSO have to have recovered
in 15 minutes at all PREVIOUS vet checks. So race all you want below the
Top Ten...has NO effect under current rules on completions.


OK, I gues that is what I am saying is:
Say it was for 10th place and it took us 
the 25 minutes to recover. I ride at about 230-40lbs.
Horse with some remaining winter coat. No crew.
11th place person I beat by a nose weighs 110lbs,
slick coated Florida horse with crew sitting 
right next to vet check but pulsed down 10 minutes
before my horse. I don't get the $15 dollar halter
but she does yet my horse is fine. 
Just not sure I like it. By the way, my horse usually
down within a couple of minutes of arriving at 
vet check as I always slow down a little ways
before getting there...so no problem with
vet check criteria change just finish line
change.
