Aga Khan Cup

[glenruby]

What a round! Did you see the height he got over the red oxer? Must be fab to have the whole crowd behind you, any sports team in Ireland would tell you the Irish fans are like an extra team member. They really appreciated that anyway!

 

[BBH]

Fabulous horse.

 

[kerilli]

France 12,8,4,4.

 

[cglen]

John hall is the main guy and Robert Hall is with him as well. John is the knowledgeable guy and Robert usually does the racing commentary. they have commentated together for years for RTE

 

[xKirstyx]

Trying to watch it...its very stop and start on mine

 

[glenruby]

Sorry I didnt have a bet on the Italians now! An each way on them at 500/1 would have paid nicely whether they win or not.

 

[Gonetofrance]

Thanks cglen, I knew I recognised RH's voice, but I couldn't place it.........

 

[mbequest]

interesting that two horses produced in britain are on the American team...............

 

[lucretia]

I will try and explain the points clearly.
even if the swedish dont jump in the second round we only beat them if we win. as they are 7.5 in front of us now.
assuming the belgiums go through which they have we need to beat them by six at the very minimum as they will get one point for finishing eight in other words even to beat belgium we MUST finish first or second, third might be enogh if the belgiums finish last, if they are higher and we dont win it is all over.
do your vibes thing!!

 

[Gonetofrance]

Is this a huge pony or a weensie child?

 

[glenruby]

Bertram allen? yeah hes quite small alright, though the pony is probably what wed call a "strong" 14.2hh. lol

 

[BBH]

That was a child right ?

 

[glenruby]

Yeah, its the 14.2hh championship.

 

[BBH]

What time does round 2 start ?

 

[glenruby]

After 5pm I think

 

[BBH]

ok thats a bummer will be driving home from work.

 

[Gonetofrance]

'Strong' would be right enough!!!

 

[moogrrr]

Just starting again - edge of the seat stuff!!

Go GB!

 

[SJFAN]

I know Robert Whitaker hated Ublesco being sold as he thought him a real Olympic prospect. Which is the other?

 

[teapot]

Am trying to get it to load on my mac

 

[mbequest]

Dave quigley produced Danny Boy, placed at Scope in young horse classes before being sold to Beezie

 

[SJFAN]

Whether it's smooth or jerky largely depends on your internet connection speed I believe.

 

[3BayGeldings]

Im so bloody nervous

 

[teapot]

Ooo it's working

 

[SJFAN]

Thanks for that. Produced in Britain then, but by an Irish rider.

 

[lucretia]

can we bear the tension!

 

[mbequest]

Yeah, ok, produced in britain, by an irishman..............

 

[teapot]

I"m not the only one just getting the parade am I? Or am I watching the wrong thing?

 

[glenruby]

Yeah its just the parade, which every year I find immensely boring - at least when it was at the start I knew I could skip it without missing any jumping. Have yet to mow the lawn...

 

[3BayGeldings]

I like the parade. I find it quite.. emotional

Definitely cant stand the tension Lucretia!
