I'd agree with you 100%, John, but aren't you opening a whole nother can of worms? If AERC doesn't sanction something called a race, then where does FEI fit in? They sure don't sponsor rides, do they?

But, to really get to my point. IMO AERC should never have sanctioned
an event with the "R" word in it's title. The "Race" in Great Santa
Fe Horse Race may have set the context for all discussions of the
event and the accident. This would be too bad. When the focus could
be on the trail, the horses, etc. As we see in the press, the # of
days of coming in first gets more press than the number of days (or
miles) ridden. The difference between a Race and a Ride.
