OK ... interesting.  About the best I can come up with is that, yes  
-- if by the time the vet looks at the horse and decides (at that  
time) that it is fit to continue, the code would probably have to be  
RO-X.   Note that, however, if the vet looked at the horse and  
decided that it was *not* fit to continue, the code would be Lame or  
Metabolic.  :)
