Can we have Lucinda as the primary commentator for all major televised equine events, please? I am really enjoying her insight on this broadcast.

They just showed a shot of the stands and they are much fuller now.
Agreed that I am loving Lucinda’s commentary. I am also loving the BIG smiles and pats from many of the riders when they finish their tests. So joyful!

Lovely test for the home team!
Judging definitely seems to be loosening up a bit, starting with MGH Grafton Street…

apparently spectators didn’t dress for the weather lol
There was an attack on a rain line yesterday so getting to venues might be tricky for spectators.
Laura has peaked at the right time. Incredible test.
Canadians a bit unfortunate with the earlier scoring be tougher. Really nice rides though.
there seems to be a lot of rain.
I like this pair for China and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them before

the rider has been around for a decade or so. I have never heard of this horse.
I enjoyed watching that horse! Lovely lovely pair
I’m a nerd and looked him up! Alex has had him since 2017, bought from Kevin McNab as a 7yo Prelim horse. Really quality!
Looks like he hasn’t done a 4-L yet but is a super show jumper. https://www.britisheventing.com/about/people-and-horses/horse-profiles/JILSONNE-VAN-BAREELHOF-85709

the commercials are coming thick and fast. Is the person who has the ad free subscription come back and tell me if it is worth the cost? I want no interruptions tomorrow.
I have ad free peacock and am getting them too!!

Same 
if I paid for ad free I would certainly say something to them. At least they ae very short.
The CBC Canada stream has very short ads and only a couple so far have been during a ride. I wonder if it’s better than what you are getting on Peacock.

I haven’t seen any during a ride. And they are blessedly short.
Boy, Micki put on a show.

I don’t mind the ads in and of themselves, but they are coming in at some very annoying moments.

why am I getting ads after ever single ride?! It’s really causing issues with the continuity of the events. If I am paying for peacock ad free idk why this is happening

Wow, both Laura and Micki under the previous Olympic record! Rides have mostly been very good.

Chris Burton is putting on a great test as well! I don’t think of him as a great dressage rider, just a fast clear xc.
