I don’t know why BM and T are the favourite. He has been having rails and isn’t winning the dressage. Maybe a day in the rain and a fast XC is all you need this year though!
I’m really looking forward to Danny Mogul too! I think her little mare will be able to rock the XC.
Judging by weather predictions, horses who can handle the cold and pissing rain and still make time will likely shoot up the leaderboard.
Anyone know where jogs will be live-streamed tomorrow? Weather is going to be chilly! Might be some horse kites flying! High of only about 45 tomorrow.
I just checked his USEF record because I haven’t really looked at his results lately. My picking him was just that I think he’s a really classy horse. However, unless you count what was very clearly an off day last summer, Tsetserleg has only had rails (and just one at that) twice since 2019. He lays down a mid 20s dressage and has minimal time penalties. Plus, he was 2nd at Kentucky in 2019. I know that doesn’t necessarily indicate he’ll do well again, but it means they’ve done it before and I think he’s only gotten better since then.
I realize they’re kinda the gimme favorite, but I think it is for a reason.
