Really? Since when is .8 or 4.4 “a ton of time?” And why is showing the leader not showing a combination that “might win?”[/QUOTE]

@J-Lu;8642943

I think Winding Down meant that the there was “tons of viewing time” for Jung and Dutton because they are at the top of the leaderboard and people like to watch the top riders go.

Thank you! I thought people would realize since we were discussing viewing time and time spent talking about particular riders, then my using the phrase “time” in that context was clear. And the leaders are shown a LOT more… and the leaders are the combinations that might win…

:lol:

Are you all seeing a banner ad at the top of the screen for Formula One, a stallion?

Just wondering how much that cost!!![/QUOTE]

hopefully not too much bc if you scroll your screen down just a bit, you can avoid seeing that distraction / banner altogether

[amastrike]

Looks like no one is going to make time today. Is the time unreasonable or are conditions slowing them down so much?

[Romany]

The mud and the rain are pretty bad and I think a lot look like they’re aiming for careful not speed.

[Tha_Ridge]

My heart is in my throat for Allison and Arthur right now… I can’t imagine how nervous she must be having to wait all day to go.

[JP60]

So does Allison go for broke? A clean round no faults time will only have her in second, but could she slip if she plays it safe?

Elissa Wallace already has her helmet cam up on YouTube.

Hmm, I think I’d ride it conservatively and focus on avoiding jumping penalties.

[JP60]

I dunno, with Dutton breathing down, less than a rail to first? Allison as been the bridesmaid for too long. I love her horse, he looks so ready to go

[amastrike]

Fingers crossed for Allison and Arthur! I really really hope they go clear.

[billiebob]

Nice round from Boyd and Blackfoot Mystery. Good luck Allison and Arthur!

[J-Lu]

How do they determine the order of go for dressage and xcountry?

I believe it’s a random draw.

[Tha_Ridge]

CRAP!

[Minuet]

I am loving Arthur!
And a second later, the refusal.
Ugh.

i’d say, aim for clear
she is > 1 rail behind MJ and way ahead of 3rd so a bit of time is likely irrelevant

[J-Lu]

OOOOOOh! Well, that seemed like it was coming…

[rockonxox]

Argh! Arthur looks tired and just didn’t make it through the park question. Dangit.

[Tha_Ridge]

I love Arthur, but it just breaks my heart that, like Karen just said, for every great moment he has, there’s been a moment where he’s let Allison down too. Sigh.

[annikak]

You just knew that was going to happen…so sad for her.
