2023 Maclay Finals Discussion Thread

Not looking too closely historically, but looks like Carlee’s come very close (or the closest) to Brianne’s record, and all in a single year. 2nd at USET, 1st at USEF, 3rd at WIHS, 1st at Maclay.

Oh goodness an interview! Let these horses go to BED!

[blondewithchrome]

Carlee also won the PBIEC/North American in 2022 I think? She has a VERY impressive finals record!

[supershorty628]

Oh come on. Let them do the victory gallop and interview them afterward so that these horses can get wrapped and put to bed.

[bamboopole]

Brian, you should have done the last round…

Best voice

What a finals season Carlee’s had! Wish they would wrap up now lol. Let the horses go get wrapped and go to sleep.

Chacco Star saying “excuse me Brian, could you gently move aside, I know how this works, I’m a professional, I hand gallop now, and then I get six buckets of carrots and a neck rub.”

Ironic

ASPCA

Those horses are pooped

[MHM]

Is she trained by Max and TJ? If so, I think they trained both the Medal and Maclay winners this year, even though it was two different kids.

And props to her for giving full credit to her horse. Well done.

Ironic

ASPCA

I have that same thought about this class every year.

[be-here-now]

Seriously. I forget, or just haven’t kept up - hasn’t there been chatter about splitting the final into two days?

I believe Wilson Dennehy won the Medal, Maclay, and USET in the same year. Long before the Washington ever existed.

[ww3467]

Didn’t Carlee win the Medal too?

I think they talk about it from time to time. But really, it would just turn it into two hideously long days instead of one. And one is more than enough.

[be-here-now]

IIRC Lillie won WIHS, Medal, Maclay, and was second at USET (not all in a single year though).

[MHM]

O. M. G. Now they have to do the press conference?!? At least the horses got to go back to the barn!

Aww. One of those girls just said she had the feeling she was going to throw up. Poor thing.

[This_Weird_Quirk]

Is it being live streamed?

[MHM]

Apparently so!

Except I don’t know if these girls realize the mics are already turned on.
