condition scores at Tevis

[Susan Evans Garlinghouse <suendavid@worldnet.att.net>]

Hey y'all,

More Tevis trivia---this is a VERY preliminary crunch, but it looks like
the average condition score for all entries at Tevis this year was about
4.2, compared to 4.44 average condition score in the '95/'96 studies. 
But don't hold me to this, I did it by pocket calculator on the red-eye
shuttle flight from Sacramento last night.  I saw alot of 5's and 5.5's
earlier in the day, then a lot of thinner horses later in the
afternoon.  I'm happy to say I saw extremely few hatracks, and I don't
think any horses under a 2.5.

The average condition score of Top Ten finishers this year was 4.55.  I
scored them respectively as:
Potato Richardson	4.5
Marcia Smith	5
Sandy Brown	4.5
Steve Shaw	4
Sandy Schuler	4.5
Sherrie Calaway	4
Thomas Christofk	5
Andrea Bianchi	4.5
Vicki Testa (YAY, VICKI!)	5.5
Leighsa Rosendaul	4
