Probably a wise choice-it seemed to me that she looked a lot weaker riding Blake earlier than she normally does-not holding her galloping position as solidly as she usually does. Maybe she hasn’t quite gotten her fitness back after having her baby (which is totally fair!)
Happy boy looked a bit tired. they the officials stop him?
Et Hop Du Matz and Harry were foot perfect through the Lake!
Commentators are saying Tim was eliminated, not sure why though.
Yes, I saw that he (Tim) was stopped and thought it was a hold on course? But of course we didn’t get to see the coverage of whatever happened - maybe he got an E somewhere? I just saw the stop at the ditch.
I’m following on the Startbox scoring website. For Caroline, it says R. I thought R meant retired meaning the rider made a conscious decision to stop vs being forced to stop which would be an E/Eliminated because of too many stops, ground jury says dangerous riding, etc. So is a rider fall called a Retirement or Elimination?
Happy Boy looked tired but not more tired than say, Bruno looked, tbh.
Harry caught the time!!! Great job to him and Et Hop!
Harry Meade makes the time!
It’s usually signified by RF
I was wondering if maybe the R stood for MR, which is horse fall.
I agree. I wonder if he got pulled up for another reason? It’s strange bc he’s currently showing at the bottom of the scoreboard but not under the being E’d on XC section. So strange.
Tim Price stopped by the vet crew for suspicion of blood, but cleared and allowed to restart.
looks like they pulled Tim up for blood on the horse – then checked it out and restarted him.
Never mind, answered!
that was astonishing!
they thought they saw blood so they pulled him up and examined him. They will restart.
Hmm that’s a dubious one for Boyd. I want to say Luke’s shoulders were inside, but maybe not.
I saw a clip on Boyd’s social media earlier this week. Luke is reportedly a gem on the ground for Steph but a real pistol under saddle. Sounds like he keeps Boyd humble…
looked like he went in on the side but he looked eh they say flag
