Yes, Mike, sorry I left part of that one out.

It is true that once the horse has met criteria and trotted out sound any 
time within the hour, it's home free.
However if the vet decides the horse needs treatment at any time before 
meeting criteria, withholding treatment until the one hour cutoff will not 
get a completion.   It's hard to imagine a horse meeting criteria that needs 
treatment for a metabolic problem.

Guess it could happen.
