I might have missed it as I've tuned out a bit due to turning the volume right down, struggling a bit with LC's vocal style, has there been a clear round yet?

Not yet!

has there been a clear round yet?

Not since I’ve been watching! Poles falling all over the place

 

[Kadastorm]

I miss a couple but I don’t think there has been.

 

[MuddyMonster]

Going against the grain, I was thinking how much I was enjoying LC commentary Informative but also positive about the horse's/riders I thought!

 

[Strawbz]

That was a lovely round from Libby. I really felt she would be the CR before that first pole down. Horse was so settled and going so smoothly.

 

[Ample Prosecco]

No clears this session!

 

[Strawbz]

Yes, her words are great but there's something about her tone that's setting my teeth on edge. I have sound sensory issues anyway so in no way blame her. Gave up my Audible subscription as I really struggled to find narrators that didn't make me uncomfortable.

 

[Ample Prosecco]

See you all later

 

[Kadastorm]

See you all in a bit!

So, fashion query. Anyone know the make of the coat Sarah Ennis wore for the trot-up? Thanks

Sarah wore a Welligogs one for the first trot up, may be the same one?

I love Laura Collett as a rider....but I'm struggling with the monotone SJ commentary. Shame.

I agree, get Tina and Nicola back!

Anyone watching on BBC2 having problems - it keeps jumping.

I’m having to watch it on iplayer because it’s not shown in NI, and it’s jumping all over the place

 

[Honey08]

I’m trying not to follow the thread as I’ll watch the highlights in a bit, but this was interesting (from Facebook)..

 

[Pebble101]

They have just apologised.

 

[rabatsa]

They flashed an apology up on the page about the jumping and stuttering.

 

[Michen]

Has it restarted?? Mine is showing a 30 min countdown

No, just highlights on BBC

 

[Pebble101]

Too much chat in between.

Here we go! I am so hoping for WFP to win. Would be amazing for him to go out in such a high.

 

[RachelFerd]

oooh soo predictions... I reckon given how tricky the SJ course seemed earlier, that this could still swing to Emily King. And that Caroline Powell might climb to second. WFP third and Tim in 4th, Sarah Ennis in 5th and Lucy Latta in 6th after a few poles.

Let's see how far off I am...!!

Class affair looks like such a difficult ride

 

[shortstuff99]

Zara the first rider in my opinion to look like a showjumper going round.

 

[Kadastorm]

So pleased for Zara, she finally has that badminton completion with Class Affair. She really has ridden her socks off this weekend as he is not an easy horse.

 

[Kadastorm]

Hope WFP, Emily & Tom Jackson can get clear rounds. Definitely proving to be a tough track today. I mean, I hope anyone can get a clear but want it to go well for them.

 

[Strawbz]

Wow. First clear round for Bubby Upton. What a cracking horse Cola has been.

What was the accident she had? I've heard it mentioned a few times now.

 

[Kadastorm]

@Strawbz she had an accident training with a youngster and broke her back.

So so happy for her! What a horse she has

Crikey, what a thing to come back from so quickly. Fair play to her determination.
