Cons:
-	Doesn't help the horse who vets through fine early, and then crashes  
within the hour.

I would much rather see an early pulse check used only to allow the  
vets to monitor horses who are slow recovering.  I think this is the  
actual intent behind the proposal, but I see far too many "cons", and  
not enough "pros".
