[HihoGinger]

Oh that's sad.
It Looked broken at first. I do hope not

 

[9tails]

Shame for Lucinda, quick response though. Good for her.

 

[angelish]

oh no hope flying finish is ok poor lucinda has had a horrible year

 

[Dunlin]

Oh god what a horrible fall!!

 

[HihoGinger]

Oh that was a nsaty fall. Glad they're both up ok.

 

[apachediamond]

glad they're both ok and walking away

 

[bananaloaf]

Bloody good round from Paul Tapner. Really well done.
I hope Flying Finish is okay :s

 

[Cheiro1]

Horrid fall for Mark Kyle, glad to see them both on their feet.

 

[armchair_rider]

Nasty fall for Mark Kyle (hit jump into quarry and rolled down slope). Both look ok though

 

[9tails]

Oh! Poor Mark! The horse was very careful to not tread on him. What an angel.

 

[starryeyed]

Very nasty fall, heart in my mouth!

 

[Dunlin]

Wow look how empty the grandstands are at the start/finish!!

 

[MegaBeast]

Caroline's ride really isn't playing the game today..

Well done Paul, lovely ride

What happened to CRB in the end? Showing eliminated but didn't see anything of her after the mirage pond, wasn't looking to be jumping well.

 

[amage]

Mark Kyle was lucky the slope was there and he could roll clear....would have been trapped underneath Coolio otherwise. Hope Flying Finish is ok

 

[Cheiro1]

HHO live feed say Carolyne Ryan-Bell was eliminated....pulled up or another stop? would they differentiate?

 

[only_me]

Nooooooooo

Poor poor mark and coolio

Coolio looked a bit shocked that he fell, just standing there

Fingers crossed both ok.

BBC can you please show more of irish riders - considering first we saw of mark was at the quarry which is at the end of the course. Bad show BBC

Not a clue but possibly eliminated on course by ground jury for continuing when the horse was struggling.

Lots of greys. Not a very deep insightful comment but got to love a grey

I was just thinking the same..... I wonder if someone pulled her up?

 

[teapot]

Wow look how empty the grandstands are at the start/finish!!

It'll fill up as the day goes on.

 

[amage]

There was a query over whether she had had 3 stops earlier on the course so may have been pulled up due to them deciding she was eliminated at that earlier stage.

 

[armchair_rider]

Not a clue but possibly eliminated on course by ground jury for continuing when the horse was struggling.

The fact that they didn't show any stop suggests might well be the case.

 

[starryeyed]

oh no!!

 

[apachediamond]

And another one out! Unlucky fall

 

[Dunlin]

Ohhhh Neil, rider fall at Lake. Glad he's OK if a little cold and wet! At least it's not a long hack back.

 

[only_me]

That was a wet fall poor neil spratt!

 

[HihoGinger]

That was a wry smile from Neil .
First ducking of the day!

 

[Dunlin]

Here you go, Irish rider on course shown at the start

 

[lindsayH]

It looked to me like NS's horse didn't see the white part of the fence above the red line and thought the line was the top of the fence maybe.

 

[only_me]

Excellent
However i dont think there are any other riders out on course at present
