I have noticed quite a few withdrawals pre xc at the upper levels this weekend. Is there a weather, footing or course design reason that might be the reason?
Pretty common this time of year. There’s a show every weekend here, so most don’t need the extra wear and tear as they haven’t had as many gallops at this point of the year. Will see a good number of those horses go to rocking horse to do the advanced next weekend.
Footing wasn’t it’s best, but by no mean bad.
