Hi All

these riders really don't have a clue about finesse on a horse.  I can't say
that they aren't good horsemen/women, however most of them (not all) haven't
had the opportunity of taking riding lessons.

Perhaps this is the reason for such a high pull rate, they just simply could not read the signs. And while I doubt any of the finishing riders will look respectably upon Fred Emigh whom they beat, all those that did get pulled might take a harder look at what it takes to get a horse through a hundred.
