I don't know but he's quite fit!!!
How young is Tim Lips or am I getting old?
Ollie T clear and will be top Brit. Think the BBC must be showing the SJ on delay
I wonder why it's changed!!
What a shame for Paul Tapner but I'm so pleased to see Harry Meade in the top 3. Fantastic for Harry.
Erm - some of us haven't seen the SJ'ing yet - enough with the spoilers .

Bit mean to spoil it for those who are waiting to watch an on BBC! Don't think I will bother now.
Oh come off it, this is the Badminton thread, it's going to contain the latest results and news. Annoying? Maybe if you want to sit in suspense for 90mins too late. Mean? Not at all.
Appears BBC are only showing the top 8 anyway...
sorry but the correction should have been done with the horse facing the fence and not at a standstill facing the other way. she should have given him a slap on the way to the next jump to get him thinking forwards, however the horse was obviously tired as we saw from the way he was climbing over the fences and she should have pulled him up herself without being told to!!!!!! it was just a show of temper on her part...
I watched this and it is still bothering me. Disgusting behaviour from a professional rider. She smacked him in pure anger when he was early already upset/shaken. A lovely host boy who had done her proud numerous times. I am saddened and disgusted and hope she faces some sort of rebuke over this. Her face spoke volumes. Totally unacceptable. To smack to help a horse get over a fence safely is one thing. To take out your own frustrations on it is quite another. Anyone else feel quite cross about her display of temper?
This is wrong. If you are going to tell a horse off it needs to be instantaneously after the disobedience or there is no point, as the horse forgets the incident.
In fact what would have helped was to give the horse a reminder at the point of take off going into the water (ie. hailling a cab). But with the sharp turn afterwards perhaps this was not possible.
