I have the dressage on to catch glimpses, although I’m not an “event” person, so I don’t know much about most of these horses. But catching the end of Sharon White’s test on Claus 63, that horse looks like it’s probably a super jumper. Caught my attention right away

Ah, I missed the comments. I’m intermittently checking in from work. 
No streaming on a second monitor for me today, but maybe tomorrow!
18.6 for Michi and Chipmunk! It’s really remarkable that they consistently make these huge environments and challenging tests seem like just another effortless day at the office.
All class as usual.

Chipmunk looking so soft. It’s not a dressage show but that was some lovely dressage.

well, when you get a chance scroll thru, just look for the comments in the jog. Maybe 150ish to around 200? If that is incorrect someone will surely correct me! 
Beautiful test for Michael Jung but that is interestingly quite a spread between the judge at E (76.33) and the judge at C (88.33). Judge at M was 79.67. So far the scores for other rides are much closer.

What’s the spread of scores where the judges have to deliberate? Is that a rule in evening?

I’m not sure and I can’t find anything super specific online. There’s something from Eventing Australia about FEI tests and anything over a 5% difference requiring judges to come together and discuss. But I’m not sure if that’s accurate? I seem to remember a few years back there was a judge at Badminton or Burghley that was just out in left field with their scores and they finally had to address it, but I think that was across multiple competitors?
Yeah I thought it was five percent too. I wonder what they saw. The 88% by the judge at C is very high and IMO not quite deserved. I know they don’t take into account the quality of the gaits and expression as much as in pure dressage but to get the 9s…
5% difference for multiple competitors does make sense but I also feel like it doesn’t really matter as long as the scores for each judge are consistent throughout the day.

Why no breeding listed for Sorocaima? He raced 40 some times, so it is obviously known.
I love that Jennie smiles throughout her tests, and that she still has FE Lifestyle in! I thought Twilightslastgleam was her only ride this year.
was wondering the same thing!

I think Sorocaima isn’t his JC registered name (though it has been his show name all along). The FEI charges a fee over $1000 to penalize owners who change the horse’s official registered name, even if the horse has only been USEA and USEF under its show name. Thus, any JC TB who doesn’t use its racing name doesn’t get to have his pedigree info submitted (unless you’d like to pay 1k).

Yes, it’s stupid. Some JC names are really terrible. It’s happened to me, I registered with USEA under a better show name (even related to his sire), and I included pedigree info with USEA and USEF. You can readily see sire/dam info on EventEntries live scores, for example.
But when it came time to get them an FEI passport, I can’t include the JC pedigree info accurately without admitting they have different registered names, and I’m not paying 1k or changing it back to JC name (and then paying $$ to USEF to change it!). So, pedigree info gets left out. Thanks FEI.
