Kentucky 2025

I noticed that also, judge at C 's scores seem way out of line compared with the other two judges especially when you compare his scores for the other riders, where he seems to be more consistent with the other two judges.

yes.
I had a 30 day trial membership with CMH, I think to watch WEG 4 or 5 yrs ago. That may be why I did not have to create a new account, they still had my email on record and were able to send me the link to reset my password, which I had of course forgotten.

eta, i see that you have already done so successfully. I took a break to give my horse a quick groom and lots of kisses.

Yep and I went thru that yesterday - reset PW - easy open. Fan member since 2022 it says. Easy open today this morning then BAM I flipped a screen and can’t get back in

I have to work all weekend so I’ll bother with if I want to watch replays later.

You salute only the judge at C upon entry. Once the test is complete, you salute them all. I don’t believe I’ve seen anyone do anything different than that.

Fortunately that ride is all over social media, in full. Instagram as @peedin says, and also Facebook.

If you compare what his score would have been including the current marks from C (18.6) vs if it had been marked just by an average of the other two judges (22.0), the judge at C alone gave him an extra 3.4 penalties in hand (or nearly a full additional rail). It was a very beautiful test, but it was not worthy of an 88.33% (11.7).

And isn’t the judge at C an Austrian? Austria/Germany have very close ties, seems suspicious to me.

Both. Horse looked tense throughout the test (mouth, tail) and had several small breaks from trot to canter as well as marked resistance going into the second walk pirouette. Tactfully ridden but…

aside from the MJ dominance, 6 of the next 10 places are held by the Tim Price and Boyd powerhouses. I (almost?) think each of them getting 3 horses into the top 11, may be more impressive than MJ’s unmatched beautiful test.

going to be an exciting weekend.

What happened?

I believe he (the judge at C) is Austrian.

Oh, thanks.

How did Tommy Greengard get E’d in D in the 4*?

2 stops.

He memorized the wrong test.

Sorry, I was thinking of the speed class going on now.

Thank you for asking the question! I too am watching the jumpers at the Kentucky 5* and can not find a thread on the forums to follow…?

Yes he is the judge I was referring to.
