Wow, amazing save from Emporium. That made my heart skip a beat
More “carnage” today than I expected – more refusals and disheartened horses so far. I agree the horses seem unsure at times (some, of course not all).
What’s going on with Woff’s voice? I hope he’s ok. Always love hearing his commentary.
Whoops. Thanks! I mixed them up.
I feel like we have seen so many more “sticky spots” this year and near disasters (but saved, thankfully!). Maybe it’s just me being a giant weeny though…
still feel like it is riding better than the 4 star
Go Pippa! Another clear
I concur! That guy is on!
There hasn’t been a single horse fall, all the riders have gotten up and walked away, and there’s only been one lame horse. I’m not sure why this year is carnage?
Edited to add one horse fall
Agree with this, especially considering the dreaded Hollow/coffin that caught so many horses (and riders) out; the 5* version seems more straightforward.
Was really rooting for Pippa to come in under the time, rats!
Anyone have an update on Allie Knowles??
Loving Wofford’s commentary, as usual.
I agree. In the four star as well, sometimes it seemed like the horses were uncertain about where they were going or what was ahead of them. Which I realize is part of the sport, but I don’t recall having that sense of things before.
Just greener horses maybe?
I think we’ve seen some hairy moments/RF/penalities from some of the top competitors. I personally was shocked to hear Doug had penalties on course
Is anyone else’s livestream cutting in and out?
My stream is not cooperating. Did I hallucinate or did Emporium fall at the HOL?
Yes, I think they are cutting out the fall?
Yes he did but broadcasting is messing up so I’m waiting to see what happened… looked nasty
He did fall but my stream is glitching too so I’m not sure what happened after that
I think they’re having livestream issues. Emporium fell - we had to watch it twice. Are they ok?
Same here - are there just more people logging on? It’s completely off and continues to spin and load.
I saw that too, during the cutting in and out.
