My horse was pulled on an exit CRI at 65 miles on the Swanton Pacific 100. 
He had not only passed the  VC but the vet said he looked the best of the 
horses that had come in.   Hiis exit CRI was still great but he'd stiffened 
up a little in the hind end during the hour hold. So apparently that is one 
thing an exit CRI will catch!
