Again, look at the percentages.  With roughly 240 starting riders, there
would have to have been nearly 50 horses on jugs at Tevis to approach the
same percentage.

Susan, the REASON I am in favor of the old system is because of the flaws
in the new one.  That is not bias--it is observation of how both systems
have operated, and logical conclusions based upon what I've observed. 
Some presaged that the lack of interest and the problems would happen--and
indeed they have.
