ETA: The numbers are correct as well, the order numbers are listed first on the order of go and don’t necessarily match up with the rider numbers (which is listed to the immediate left of rider name)
Agree completely
Some of the horses may be unfavorably impressed from the flat warm up last night. Went from 11pm until 1am, with. No more than 40 horses allowed in the ring at any time. Then braiding and grooming and a ride. Yeah, I might want to leave too if I were a horse. Typical for Indoors, but still a lot for the horse to handle.

The vibe at the warm up class is not at all like the vibe of the actual class…you can feel the tension just sitting in the stands. The best will master the pressure, the rest get swallowed by it. That applies to the horses too…they know.

@pony4me- good grief. Between this and WIHS, we ask so much of these horses. That’s bananas.

Emily Perkins is a very pretty rider
I like how George not only gives tips on how to win the finals, but also how to judge them. 
Caroline Passarelli was just very nice. I heard Anne comment on lateness in the last lead change, but my feed skipped and I did not see whether or not it was offensively so.
That last change was very late, almost to the end of the arena, unfortunately.
Jordyn Rose Freedman just nailed it

Was it completed before the turn? (Late, or outright incorrect?)
I was sorting out a disagreement between my cat and the Roomba and missed Jordyn Rose. 
Sounds like I’ll see her tomorrow.
At this level, it doesn’t take much to drop someone out of contention, especially once there have been quite a few good trips.
Yes. She was excellent.
I would consider it incorrect. She landed off that last oxer, missed the change to the right coming around the corner and didn’t actually get it until almost the end of the arena. It wasn’t a subtle miss, IMO.
Thanks, AndNirina, that’s what I was trying to envision. Darn. Haley Redifer broke my heart with a lead change too.
MHM, of course it doesn’t take much to drop someone out of contention in a large class of quality- but I’ve seen enough riders who understand the course and the questions but have a little this or a little that that could potentially get on the standby in a lower position that I was trying to understand whether this fell into that category given the overall context of the trip. It sounds like it was a straight up 65 though
I stepped away, did they announce the second standby?
Props to Augusta I. for getting her horse over that jump in spite of his objections, and carrying on like nothing happened. That was an impressive recovery.
