[RC] Leonard, are you there? - Bruce Weary DCHi Leonard-Thank you for you recent input. I think it gives good perspective. With regard to our current discussion about pulse criteria, you mentioned that a 90 km race has a 20 minute window and a 56 pulse in some rides you have over there. As a hypothetical, what do you think would happen if the pulse rates were increased to 72, as one vet has suggested here, with a 30 minute window at vet checks, and a 60 minute window at the finish line, traveling at those speeds? Would it have any effect, in your opinion, on the speed of the racers, horse health complications, or need for treatment? Thank you in advance for your response.
