Re: [RC] Tevis - OT riders or "A Tempest in a Teapot" - Diane Trefethen

While the issue of time to complete is valid, it may not apply to 2009. For 2009, this may be a tempest in a teapot. The rider who was disqualified at 05:31:00 AM, may or may not have been in pen 2, may or may not have received his full 24 hours. Just because he was pulled at 05:31:00 AM doesn't mean he hit the finish line then. He arrived at the Lower Quarry with 6 other riders and every one of the 6 (including Merri, btw) finished at 04:56:00 AM. Maybe he did too and then couldn't get his horse's pulse down or maybe the horse was lame but not presented to the vets till 05:31:00 AM. Again, if Bruce is correct about pen 2 leaving at 5:16am or 5:17am, then if that last horse arrived at 5:31am, he would have been clearly over time.
