RE: [RC] Overriding - eznet



At a local race last Saturday, a horse collapsed near the finish line.
Surprisingly the horse got up after being given fluids. The buzz in the
crowd was that it was a hot day and the horse was over ridden. When I tell
you that the maximum Temperature for the day was 75 and the average humidity
77% and the race was one half mile long, you will see that over riding is so
dependant on previous conditioning ( which we don't usually know) that it is
hard to have an opinion on it.     Libby
