That is your opinion. In
the words of the rider, it was expressly emphasized that the supplement used was
responsible. In that case it was a clear intent to violate the
rules.

The Rider also states that a certain named vet is endorsing this
product.
...or maybe, after 8 tries the horse just got
into better shape. Or, with high vet score, maybe the rider just
weighed more that day than the other riders, went a little faster (or others
went slower) and the pulses could have been lower because the rides she
mentioned were in November and February when it's cooler. Maybe the
other horses were not BC material that day. In reality, the APF
probably had nothing to do with it. The horse is doing well because it
is a good horse and is getting more fit and experienced. Horses just
don't go out and start winning rides and getting BC because of any
supplement.
