First off, if this subject has been broached before please forgive me.  
I haven't been paying a lot of attention to this whole discussion 
because I see Kat regularly and pretty much agree with about everything 
she says regardless of the subject, so why bother reading other 
opinions (I'm a pig-headed fool that firmly believes I'M ALWAYS RIGHT).

Anyway, I was talking to my husband about the auto penalty for the 
following year in world class events and how it would work.  Go to the 
vet check and it's determined you're unfit to continue, you get the 
penalty.  Go to the vet check and tell the vet you think you're unfit 
to continue, if yes, no penalty, if no you can continue the race.  
What's to prevent every rider from going into every vet check saying I 
don't think I'm fit to continue, and then letting the vet say yea or 
nay, thereby circumventing the auto penalty.

To avoid the auto penalty I think the rider must officially pull first 
before going to the vet, and then just shrug their shoulders and go 
home if the horse vets out OK.
