I generally try to give the rider cards back to the riders after  
awards, but it's a real hassle to mail them to people after the ride  
and I try to avoid that.

But there have been times when I was glad I still had the cards -  
confirming finish times or arrival times (if an error was made in the  
results), verifying horse/rider info, and a little more info in the  
case of a protest or similar issue.
