[RC] Another Ramification of New COC Requirement - FXLivestock
Did I read correctly that the 10.40 COC must be earned within 12 months of the closing date for WEC nominations? Does this mean that many of the rides in early 2007 will not count toward the new COC requirement and horses that have already earned a 10.40 COC this year at FITS and Get R Done may not count and those horses will have to requalify.
There certainly may be a scramble in late 2007 and early 2008 to find suitable rides to finish in 10.20 and ideal weather to qualify within the 12 months. Realistically, in one ride season, how many 100 mile rides are there in the entire US that can be finished in 10.20? All it would take is some unusual weather conditions at one of these rides to keep several riders/horses from qualifying. Because of the short time frame, they may not have another opportunity to try again or would have to travel across the US for another opportunity.
Anyone know when the closing date is for the WEC nominations? This information may be necessary in the decision on whether to try to qualify at a ride in 2007 or in 2008.
