Alex and Quindiva are cruising! First inside the time??
ETA and they are! Woohoo!!!
Very clever horse just not panicking to quietly slide down into the ditch. Very sad for them!

This is an odd round for Tim Price - 1 refusal, a frangible, and now a missed flag. Is he playing bingo?

i think he was just trying to give the young horse experience after the first miss. but that paddling over the dairy mounds was scary

Mia on course, but I’m listening to the radio and hearing all the gasps.
Phelps is certainly raring to go!

The wheels are falling off a little bit now 
Phelps may be a little too keen and they just had a runout at the corners.
Poor Zara.
No, Zara!!! That was a gut wrenching fall - half stride to the second corner. Both up and walking, the course team is hard at work on rebuilding the corner.
thank god for the frangible. that may have been a horse fall rather than “just” a rider fall without the pin.

Good for Mia for finishing! 1st Burghley XC in the books.

So halfway through the field of 66, here are the stats:
- 21 finishers
- 14 have gone clear
- Of those 14, 2 double clears (Harry Meade and Alex Bragg)
- Of the 12 non-completes, 2 rider falls and 1 horse fall (at Cottesmore Leap)
