[RC] 'Grand Prix' style finish is not endurance - Don Huston

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.

We'll add Merri's stories to this site as they come.

The ride organizers used the 'Grand Prix' finish for this event.
According to the printed FEI Schedule:

"The overall placing will be taken, 30 min. after the arrival of the
1st rider to successfully pass the vetting, considering for the
placing of all the other riders, at the conclusion of  the phase they
are actually running (with the relevant subsequent passing of the vet
check) at the time the winner finishes the course"

So 30 minutes after the winner crossed the line, the vet gates were
closed. If a rider was on the course at that time they finished the
loop they were on. Otherwise they stop a the vetgate. It appears from
the results that the first 13 arrived at the Finish line, and 14 - 20
got their final time upon arrival at Gate 5.

To my knowledge, this is the first Endurance event to use this type
of finish.  An interesting concept -
