RE: [RC] AERC NC story - Bob MorrisOne very interesting point that I gleaned from Nancy Skakel's story: "The vet then does a swift physical exam of the following points, and grades them from A to D, with A being excellent, B is showing stress, C is showing signs of distress, and D is elimination from the race." When was this classification instituted as a standard for endurance competition? I worry about this a bit since the evaluation is mainly subjective and grading varies immensely among Vets. We have mentioned using these scores as a basis for study and have been discouraged by the Veterinary profession as they feel the alpha scores are not reliable. I would like to hear more discussion on this point.
