Re: [RC] 100 mile horse characteristics--drinking after 20 miles - Dabney Finch

 I don't belive that a horse that will not drink for 20 miles is a good candidate (at least I would not start a 100 with such a horse).
 
I know this is the conventional wisdom, but I've top tenned two horses like this in 100s (one was Tevis) and they both looked great at the end, including hydration.  It's so hard to have absolutes with 100 mile horses!
