As to the Fireworks 50, only 5 out of the top l0 horses were presented for
Best Condition.  The other 5 were not shown for whatever reason their
riders
chose.  Presenting for Best Condition is not mandatory.  I was the 4th
place
finisher and opted not to present.  The veterinarians did not award a BC as
is their
option when they feel the horses presented do not meet BC criteria.
