Grand Prix is not endurance nor is a Grand Prix style finish an 
interesting concept. That type of finish automatically eliminates 
this flat track style horse race from being an endurance race. The 
only thing about this horse race that in any way resembled endurance 
as I have experienced it was the distance and the idiotic grand prick 
finish got rid of that. Riders 14-20 did not earn a final time at 
Gate 5, they got pulled.
