Kentucky 2025

Harry Meade looked very stylish there.

I just glanced at Wikipedia earlier to refresh my memory about his dad’s résumé in the sport.

Holy cow. Talk about some big riding boots to filll!

At least the riders with the uniforms don’t have to spend one second worrying about their wardrobe choices.

Interesting, I just checked out the ESPN coverage and it seems to have the full replays with no account needed!

Oh, fantastic! Thanks!!

Nice to hear that the best turned out horse award goes to the grooms, who certainly deserve it.

Current weather in Lexington.

Tim Price and Falco have withdrawn. Very sad face.

Oh, sad for Tim Price. Did anyone see what got him held for a closer look?

It wasn’t Falco’s weekend. That means Tim’s down to one in SJ though.

Phantom passed!

who is announcing?

is that the horse that “fell” but somehow regained his feet without shoulder/hip touching the ground?

I’m laughing pretty hard at the announcer with the Phantom of the Opera joke.

Isn’t that the horse that went down onto his knees after a bit of a belly flop at the triple bar going uphill yesterday? It’s sort of a miracle that he came through that unscathed.

Yep, he was the one who went all the way down to his belly, then picked himself back up and continued like nothing happened.

No flag suit for Boyd today, darn. :joy:

I had a similar thought.

I have to say that Boyd looked quite sound for somebody who went around that course three times yesterday.

Extra remarkable considering that he could hardly walk after having a bunch of vet work done on himself at the start of the winter. I saw him at a clinic, and he was really hobbling around at that time. I think that was only about five months ago now.

I like that Jess Phoenix trotted on the long rein rather than holding below the chin.

they are all supposed to. Emily looked really pretty with Corvette!

Having watched the video of that, it’s not a good look for eventing that the horse was allowed to continue. Even if it didn’t technically meet the criteria for a fall.

How tall is Sorocaima? He looks massive on the jog strip.
