Re: [RC] [RC] trivia/100/Biltmore - Char & Jeff

Hi

I always get off & walk into a vet check at least a few 100 yards away, I
think it helps alot.

Most times, even when racing, I can pretty much meet my crew at the in timer
& keep walking toward the PR people while my crew is stipping tack & washing
Zus down.  By the time we get there he's usually ready or within a minute or
two is down.

Its amazing how much time you can make up on the people that come zooming
into the gate/holds.

Speaking of slowing down, what percentage of riders, get off, loosen their
tack and walk, oh, say the last 1/2 mile? Wondering ,since I do it in all
my
training rides, to hopefully teach him to relax and slow his heart
rate.And
do most ride managers mark some distance before the vet check as a signal
to
the riders? At Talladeaga they did ," vet check ahead ,so much
distance."And
/ or would feeding him some hay/goodies be good at that time for gut
sounds>I am hoping to walk in and go right to VC.(on my sloooow first
ride.

Angie,

But Drubin thinks he is 17h 3!  Please do not tell him he is only 14h 1.

Hoping somebody who had all the Biltmore results would post as I did not
write them down
and I have a true knack for getting names and facts wrong.

And yes, fortune smiled  and  Jayel Super won and got BC at Biltmore.
When he is good ... and when he is bad well let's not go into that.
We did not exactly blitz the course finishing in 14 hours and change.
Ride was tough with mud, heat, and humidity!

Results I remember below are for AERC 100.  This was held in conjunction
with FEI 100, and IAHA Region 12 Championship.

1.  Stagg on Jayel Super (BC)
2.  Darolyn Butler
3.  Doug Sanders (sp?)
4.  Meg Sleeper
5.  Dinah Rojek
6.  Mary Kornwolf
...
10.  Doc. Ann Stuart on Ballyhoo wearing his bright PJs.
......


24 finishers out of about 60 starters so completion rate well under 50%.

Like often happens in 100s, many of the early front runners did not
finish.
I was probably about 15th into the first check point.  We need to keep
teaching people to "save horse".  So will share a "secret" with others on
ride camp.  Ride a bit more slowly early on when the horses are excited
and pass people in the holds with good recoveries.  At the early holds
the leaders were taking 8 to 13 minutes to recover and Super was
recovering
in 2 minutes.  So what they gained on the trail they gave back at the
holds.
That makes a big difference later in the day in a tough ride.  And btw
significantly reduces the risk of the horse getting pulled, needing
treatment, etc.

Ann Ayala of course did a great job to pull the ride off given the rains,
downed trees, swollen creeks, etc.  Much praise to Ann.
