Badminton predictions

[Supertrooper]

So who do you think will win?

 

[Lexi_]

I’m struggling to narrow it down to a top 10 to be honest - there are some seriously good combinations this year! Probably London 52 or Ballaghmor Class*, based on top level form and the chance of them being in a strong position after dressage.

I’d really like to see Ben Hobday and Mollie Summerland do well too. Love both their horses.

*if he’s running? The website still has lots of “or” next to Oli’s horses.

 

[Supertrooper]

I think he’ll definitely have Swallow Springs there, not sure who of other two

 

[Supertrooper]

I’ve just been reading all the write ups on Eventing Nation

I love how cheeky MGH Grafton Street aka Squirrel ? is ??

 

[KEK]

London 52 is my guess!

 

[ihatework]

I’ll stick my neck out and say Ballaghmor Class.

Top 10’s for London 52, Venredi Biats, Billy the Red, Toledo, Allstar B

I’m thinking positive for the Brits ?

 

[Northern Hare]

I'm hoping that Nicola Wilson and JL Dublin get a great run, I thought they made a fantastic combination when they won the Individual and Team Gold Medals at the European Champs last year. ?

 

[shortstuff99]

I've chosen my team on eventing manager so I hope my riders all do well!

Who have you got? I've managed to trade up and get JL Dublin, Vendredi Biats, Toledo and Soladoun. Which has probably put the curse on all of them ?

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

I predict rain.

I've picked Ballaghmor Class, Soladoun, Charley Van Ter Haiden and John the Bull ?

 

[Bernster]

I predict rain.

? which would be so bonkers after this ridiculously dry weather, but the ground does need it ?‍. I’ll take my jacket then !

 

[Northern Hare]

I've just been looking at the Start List again - it's a really incredible line-up, from start to finish.

There's 5 of the first 10 that I want to watch their dressage tomorrow morning, so I'm going to have a much earlier start than I was expecting - not complaining of course though! ?

 

[BBP]

My friend Bundy is riding so I’m hoping it’s her!! Perhaps not an obvious winner but you never know right?!

 

[Supertrooper]

Just watched the Andrew N course walk. Wow it’s some track and I’m in awe of those attempting it

 

[05jackd]

Ballaghmor Class would be my choice but would be nice to see a newbie do well!

 

[shortstuff99]

Oh no, I've swapped him for JL Dublin in that case.

 

[shortstuff99]

Oh no, I've swapped him for JL Dublin in that case.

I checked this, he hasn't withdrawn just decided on his position so is in the later draw rather than the earlier one.

 

[YorkshireLady]

Toledo is up there for me. Top ten I want to see Pippa and Harry in there. Tina be great to watch round the XC. London 52 is all out 4 star winner...it will be interesting to see how he does at Badminton.

I wouldnt totally rule out ros second ride to do well.

 

[DiNozzo]

I want felicity Collins in the top 15. I love rhs conted’or

 

[crazyandme]

Tina Cook has withdrawn Billy the Red according to the Badminton website

Such a shame

 

[Upthecreek]

ETA sorry no he hasn’t! Swapped in further down the list ?

 

[Supertrooper]

Ballaghmor Class has been withdrawn

He’s still on entries, towards end. So Oli riding Swallow Springs at start and Thomas at end
