Les 5 Etoiles de Pau 2023

Cosby Green is really flying!

thanks! It is working, flawlessly!

Wow! Some of these horses are flying over the big jumps!

I think they ought to be adding 15 to Ollie’s score. There’s no way Treglider was inside the flags at 13b.

Sounds like a few have slipped around turns but hasn’t been much talk about the footing after all the rain on Thursday
must be OK.

Great rides from the US today!!!

but they won’t. It’s Ollie you know. He will have it removed.
I think they are getting to that big jump on the hill on the wrong stride. Most have left a second too soon, and barely made it over.

what crooked position are you referring?

The guy was twisting up top and getting lots of cheers over jumps. Straight on shot showed he didn’t have any right stirrup. He retired.

You beat me to it! They won’t give Oliver a flag penalty.

Looks like Tom Rowland from the scores, but I’m not watching anymore.

Tom Rowland’s horse looked like he landed wrong jumping into the water, tried to jump the B element and collapsed on landing. Was up and walked off pretty lame ~10 minutes ago. Maybe they are checking the footing in that water?

that is really disgusting.

“Oh, shit position”? Needs no translation.

“Oh shit” position :laughing:

I heard it clear as a bell from the German commentators.

Such a bummer about the MIM clip penalty for Boyd. He was the only rider to make the time. If not for the clip, he’d be less than a point beyond first place. Kudos to him for having Bruno so fit and on point!

AND, if not for the blip in flying change, he would probably in first
 It looks like a nice but tough course.

The Prices had a bad day - fall for Jonelle and Tim with 60 penalties for refusals!

Ros canter’s time has been adjusted, putting her clearly in the lead by 3.6 pts.
