That was Keach, I believe.[/QUOTE]

yes you are correct
trying to watch and work at the same time … i’m losing track

I’m going to guess Rivetti was DQ’d due to the blood rule or something. I had his score as 8 faults on my paper, but it was changed later. I don’t remember if he was one who had a pretty decent whip/spur through that first combo, but I didn’t see any blood.

Thanks!

Love the commentator’s description of Bosty: “very much his own man, his own rider” as the legs go swinging LOL

Love Gunder. By the same horse as Azur.

Having two refusals would show as “eliminated” not “disqualified” (ie. the Spanish rider had 2 refusals and shows as “EL”). And COTH reported that he finished with 8 faults, so I assume he wasn’t eliminated. It sounds like something happened after.[/QUOTE]

I saw eliminated - but he did use his whip after that - so, maybe he was DQ’d for that?

Still love Emerald. Especially the belly spot.

Barcha disqual just announced as overuse of spurs on my feed.

Thanks - the announcers in my feed just said DQed with no further explanation.

Dirty stop from John Whitaker’s horse… But brave riding through the triple after.

Wow, we’re totally stuffed here.

I still love Cortez. What a gorgeous boy.

Bost’s round looked like a bad Pony Club rally.

My heart is breaking for Beezie–I have a total crush on Cortez. Just not himself today.

Madden showing how to ride a “push” horse over the course, as opposed to many of the others who need to be held up a bit.

Poor Beezie :frowning: They said she’s out of the individuals now, with that score. I’d have thought they’d have been strong contenders for it.

Confused. Does this mean that with yesterday there is a chance that Beezie won’t make it to the individual round?

Commentators on my feed said he just hasn’t seemed himself this competition. :frowning:

That little gray horse Carlo can certainly fly! Nice round for Spain.

It appears she won’t make the individual round :frowning:

Bummed for Beezie. Cortes just didn’t seem to be “going” today. I know he usually looks slower and level headed, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen her go to her whip, which she had to do today. Granted, it was a quick tap. Just surprised to actually see her having to push so hard for it.
