Maclay Finals 2021

It’s hard to tell from a distance but I think that may have been Luke that swapped off the counter lead…

Was that Luke Jensen who had trouble getting to the counter canter??

I think so. Fairly sure he struggled in this direction too and was late getting it behind.

Very unfortunate after he had such a great first round.

Do all who flatted also come back for the second round?

Flat shifted things around quite a bit.

It did. The lead change was difficult for a few riders.

In theory, it’s supposed to count 50%.

For some reason my idea of a working walk is different from what most (not all) of these good riders do.

Wait, they’re not gonna drag?

That round should move Amira up quite a bit, I’d imagine. Probably not enough for a ribbon unless there’s some major disasters, though.

Tessa Downey just came in and laid down quite a nice, bold trip.

Luke is looking a bit harried to me.

I thought Luke looked aggressive. I liked those inside turns, but not the strides from 1 to 2.

Christian hurried a bit to the white oxer but I thought the round otherwise was quite nice.

Addison’s horse didn’t do much to help cover that deep distance at the hedges in and out. Unfortunate.

I think the commentary on the similarities between the two courses is quite interesting. I would’ve liked to see them ask some different questions.
