>But, Heidi,
our BC system does take speed into consideration, and there is no
"minimum time" as there is in CT. So BCs reward those who "do the trial as
quickly as practicable, while keeping one's horse fit to continue."
Yep, I'm well aware of
that. Which sort of negates the concept you proposed of not rewarding
the time when you cross the line, though, doesn't it?
