Re: [RC] Scores.... - rides2farCurrent scores: 1's : 39 2's: 1 3's: 1 4's: 1 I'm trying to be factual here. I find everyone thinks their horses come down in 3 min. but I wanted my true times. So, I pulled out my big thick file of 12 years of ride cards from Kaboot's career. I found a total of SEVEN rides out of 3,050 miles that wrote the arrival time and the P&R time down at the finish. I thought I'd see how Bruce's horse did when I rode him out there, and that card had no arrival time recorded at the first & 2 vet check, no P&R time or out time on the third, and the finish time wasn't on the card at all. Guess they tend to write it on the timer's sheet. The longest recovery time I had was 24 minutes. That was at GERA which tends to be hot as blazes, but the vet check does have shade and the finish line is right at the check and it's downhill coming in. The average was 11 min. Unfortunately there were no P&R times for Big South Fork or Longstreet at the finish so I couldn't judge how long it takes to come in but it's guaranteed that if that 24 min. recovery had been timed from their finish lines it would have been a DQ under this system. Instead, after taking 24 min. he was 8th place and high vet score. His recovery time is fastest 1-3 min. after a 100, because we come in so slow, not because he's so fit to go back out and do more miles.
