[RC] Australia's pulse rule - Diane Trefethen

I keep asking but no one answers :(

What is the rationale for allowing each horse only one pulse taking at a vet check which if it is failed, even if the 30 minutes is no where NEAR up, results in a disqualification?

The AERA Inc. - Rules, Procedures & Guidelines

A10.5  When a horse's pulse is elevated above maximum set for the ride:
       a) The TPR Steward will not indicate the results to anyone, nor record
          any results in the Logbook, but must request a veterinarian's
          verification of pulse rate through the Chief Steward.
       e) If the pulse rate as taken by the veterinarian or Chief Steward is
          above that set for the riding leg, the horse is eliminated...
       f) If the pulse rate taken by the veterinarian is below that set for
          the riding leg, the pulse rate recorded in the Logbook is at the
          discretion of the veterinarian, taking into account the time taken
          for the veterinarian to re-take the pulse rate.
