[RC] re: LD - A. Perez

 What is it about LD rides that make 'racing' more of a problem
than 'real' endurance rides?  Is it the fact that they attract
more novices, or is there something inherent in the distance
itself - does the shorter distance make it possible to
'override' a horse, but the problems don't appear at the vet
checks?  Do longer offer more time for 'over riding' to become
apparent and get caught at the vet checks?

If racing LDs is ineveitable, is there any way LDs COULD be made
'safe to race', by having more vets checks or different vetting
criteria?

Just curious.
