Ahh the English language.  Does "stand" mean "stand" or "stand"?  :)

If, as Susan suggested, in the opinion of either the Head Vet or the RM 
a horse won't stand quietly enough to conduct a proper final 
examination, DQing that horse would be a judgment call on the part of 
either the Head Vet or the RM.

On the other hand, if the horse isn't brought back for its final 
examination at all, then as Truman pointed out, a DQ isn't a judgment 
call - it's required.  [6.c. Obeying all the rules + 6.2.1.1 All equines 
must stand a mandatory post-ride evaluation within one hour of finish]
