Anyone listening to Badminton radio?

They are doing interviews. William said the judges were miserable and hopefully they stay miserable tomorrow :joy:

wow! Who does she ride with! that was a fabulous ride. She might go into the lead!
Wow she got several 8s and yet is slightly behind Boyd. I thought that test was stunning.

Oh wow! Andreas is not a happy camper. Poor fella. Poor Helen.

he was a stinker in the jog too.

Right? Helen did a masterful job of keeping the lid on. I thought she might be eliminated for sustained resistance when he wouldn’t go forward, but the judges gave her a break by not ringing the bell right away.

She did a great job getting him to focus in the test. He looks to be a lovely horse.

Yes, indeed! Very quality animal – just overwhelmed by the atmosphere but those were some over the top resistances!

She did a beautiful job of riding through it.

I am really enjoying Nicola’s color commentary. She is very knowlegable about the intricacies of the movements. Almost like listening to a pure dressage person.

I think Harry had the best halt and reinback I have seen. Sigh, that is why I am not a judge.

Are replays going to be available?

Yay, thanks!

So I finally found the right section, but was unable to access the first section of dressage - only the 2nd (starting with Tiana) - never mind - found it! :+1:

I do kind of wonder about the scoring. There were many instances where one judge would be 5.5, another 6. and the other a 7. It was really weird. I also think while there was still some trouble with the flying changes, they seemed to be much better here than in Kentucky.
