Hi Steph,

I heard from my husband Steve this morning in the UAE. He has been helping
Cia & Catch A Wave.  I thought you'd like to hear the updates that I
recieved regarding the race.

Valarie finished on Emphatic in 9th place and both looking very good. (My
husband owned Emphatic till recently, he's pretty proud of how he
performed
under Val's riding) According to Steve, he believes Val is the
only Masters
Series rider to finish the race since Sheikh Mohommed and his
sons had been
withdrawn earlier in the race. Cia was withdrawn at the 3rd Vet check as
was Steve Rojeck.  The news I recieved on Rita was that she had
an accident
on trail when the borrowed horse she was ridding tripped. She was taken to
the hospital for a checkup and xrays. Steve said the day was very
challenging for the riders as it was 100 degrees and high winds, you
couldn't put anything down since it would just blow away. He said most of
the riders were looking pretty sunburnt by late afternnoon. When he last
called, Bev and Meg were expected to finish soon and were doing well as of
the last check.

Steve was in the endurance (vet check) compound waiting for the horses to
come into the first check when the helicopter crashed this
morning. He said
it was pretty scarey and quite dramatic. Everyone at the
endurance compound
watched the helicopter start to come apart in the air (lost parts or
something) and then it just fell to the ground like a stone and burst into
flames no more than an 1000 feet from him. He sounded pretty
shook up about
the whole thing, his comment was that "it was really horrible to
watch".  I
think this is the last type of experience he expected to have during an
endurance race.

I wasn't sure how to make a post directly to ridecamp so I
thought I should
just send this to you and you can use what you want. If I
remember anything
else important, I'll zip it off to you.

Best regards,
Betty Baker
