Given the time they were running I suspect they were down in a matter of 
a few minutes. The horses that are running this fast are conditioned to 
have fast recoveries. Running this fast you can't afford to waste any 
time waiting for recoveries.

The winners were good horses that were peaked to perfection for the race 
that particular day. That is the name of the game at that level. It's 
not the game many AERC riders are that comfortable with - however, it is 
how endurance has evolved on the world scene at the championship level. 
It's the game we (US) is going to have to learn to play if we want to be 
competitive.

The question is does the rank and file of the AERC membership want to 
support what has to be done to make the US competitive (if it can even 
be done) at the WEC again?
