else is coming in with fuel-depleted horses and most are passing the checks,
so I don't think that will be a problem.

Tom, you lost me here, what do you mean by 'fuel-depleted' - low
blood glucose levels? Seems like a pretty gross assumption.
Doesn't match the blood analysis results I've seen. Nor does
it fit with the winning performances by horses that have
not been given carbo supplementation. Maybe I misunderstood
you...
