At the FL Classic in '96 we had the opposite case - the LD's were less 
expensive by quite a bit since we hired half day vets to take care of 
the peak load. We were able to get the cost down per rider in each 
distance by the judicious use of half day vets to manage the peak load. 
I had all out checks so this included breaking vets out to go back to 
the finish - and then home. While I agree that the LD fixed cost is 
close to the longer distance fix cost - I think there are rare 
circumstances where they are exactly the same or should I say where they 
have to be the same.

If I run a ride again which is highly unlikely (after some experiences 
with trail vandals, jerk land managers and idiot riders pushing horses 
too hard for the conditions and crashing them) the charge will be based 
on the cost involved for each event and let the riders choose.
