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.

It is his registered JC name. Someone just didn’t enter his breeding into the FEI database.

Fun article about him and his time before Buck got him.

I grew up with POAs. I can empathize with some really terrible names 
That slo-mo of Et Hop Du Matz in extended canter with his mouth wide open was not flattering 
Rock Hard Ten was 2001? Where do the years go?

He looked like he was carrying a lot of tension all the way through.
I only watched in snatches this afternoon, but that sequence of 1/2 pirouettes and back and forth on the end of the arena on either side of A didn’t do much for me - didn’t seem like something worth “testing” in an event horse. So unusual to see Lauren Nicholson at the bottom of the results.
I thought the judge’s booths looked a little less fancy than in past years and then realized they seem to have a new sponsor.

It might be helpful to have a separate threads. One for tech issues and one for competition chatter.

I got hung up on Kris S at 1977. Haven’t seen him that close up in a while.

I have a Roberto grandson. He’s 30 and toothless, but Roberto was Kris S’s sire (and a chef de race.) I love those horses.

Mine is from the Roberto, Kris S lines too. His sire was Kissin Kris. I’m glad he bombed out at racing or else I might have never ended up with such a fantastic horse.

Is there some sort of promo I’m missing out on for USEF/CMH? The only subscription I see on CMH is for $290/year. 
No monthly subscription.
you can get a free USEF membership but it is only good for live.

Yeah, I have that but I’m 14 hours ahead in Australia so watching live isn’t exactly doable.
