Re: [RC] NC50 no riding in the dark - rides2far

So, had they started the ride at 7:00 am, they would have been 
riding
for one minute in the dark, and if anybody took all twelve hours to
finish, that person would have had to ride 7 minutes in the dark.

On his way to gate 1 he was met by flashing lights of emergency
vehicles. There was a wreck >near the start. Irving McNaughton went down.
He's been transported out for observation, not >serious. three other
horses got tangled up in it. Rebecca Supinger didn't continue on - the
others did. 

Hate to say " I told ya so". Wonder how many of those horses had ever
started in the dark? (Yeah, I know several are 100 miler horses...but not
all)  The winners did over 1/3 of their ride in the dark. That's kinda
weird for a 50.
