ML through the decorative bushes too Kitty was like uh… I’ll hop this if you’re pointing me at it but this seems odd.
ML pretty far down on time…
ML is going to have lots of time, but this is the best I have ever seen her ride
Wait those weren’t jumps? I just tuned in and thought, “I don’t think those are a jump but okay.”
They’re going to have lots of time, but they also just knocked a flag. The replay makes me think they might get a 15 too…
I’m all for all the women at the top of the board
Def 15 there
No, it’s not part of the question. It’s meant to force the riders to go out and around and take a different line but a few riders have opted to crash through it (or over it) to get a straighter line in.
first time i have ever been routing for her
They were wayyy out to the right
Showing 28.8 time for ML and Scandalous, but the commentators were discussing they seemed to have started late, so the time might not be accurate. However, I think they’ll have a 15 too.
ETA: Time was confirmed as 28.8 penalties. That’s dropped them wayyyy down.
Meghan O’Donohue had a great time and Palm Crescent looked full of running!
So we have to find out the story on ML’s “late start” - exactly what? Did she take a late warm-up round and miss her start time - again ??? Will have to wait for details …
If she was late to her ride time, could be the clock started on time. That would explain Frankie’s remark that ML’s watch time is not the same as the official time.
And if ML was late to start box, that might explain a decision to save the horse rather than ride for time.
That would suck.
Really bummed we didn’t get to see much of MO’s ride! She is my dark horse for the weekend!
That has happened with her at this event before.
I was just thinking that. Wasn’t she late with Demeter once or something?
Did the commentators just say again that it was 1 min 11 sec over the time for ML? And that flag is still a question mark? Kitty looked to be really flagging around 2/3rds through.
Emilee Libby just rode that water so conservatively and accurately, like a little Maclay test.
And now Nilson showing up with an E as well. Missed an element.
