Harry Meade's daughter had made us cake when we visited his house so he gets my vote
He never came across as being not down to earth either and was schooling in a field .

And I also suspect he had a point when he said it wasn't about the money, compared to what SJers are playing for week in week out it is all relative, I don't think anyone goes into eventing for the prize money

I've never been the greatest fan of Claire Balding and her racing commentaries. At Crufts it was nauseating, but over Badminton, I thought that she gave an exemplary display of pertinent, factual and sensible commentary, and along with Zara T, she made the watching more enjoyable.
Mike Tucker? The voice of Eventing, and he joins the ranks of Harry Carpenter, Murray Walker, Dan Maskell and the wonderful Lord Oaksey.

Yes, strange to think of watching eventing without Mike Tucker's commentary. As one of the older ones on here, he was the voice of eventing throughout my childhood. I think Harry and Zara did a great job yesterday but I expect they are both too busy to step into his shoes!!!!

I know, but he was trying to make out that £100,000 wasn't that big a deal and Ingrid wouldn't be upset about the money as opposed to the prestige etc, which is not helpful when your average non-horsey viewer thinks most horse people are rich snobs! I'm sure he's lovely, but I don't think he's a very good commentatorAnd I also suspect he had a point when he said it wasn't about the money, compared to what SJers are playing for week in week out it is all relative, I don't think anyone goes into eventing for the prize money

TBF most people eventing at that level have had quite a lot of family dosh to get them started at least so I don't think the average non horsey viewer is wrong in that opinion!

That's very interesting mypegasus. I have probably misunderstood, but wasn't AN 3rd until showjumping?

Sky1000 well spotted, first line of numbers should read - I'd gone number blind.

Message from Tom Gilruth:
He just wants to say he's overwhelmed by everyone's messages and concerns for Emily Katherine Gilruth after her nasty fall yesterday at Badminton. She's in great hands at Bristol hospital. She's had a reasonably good day in that they have taken her off sedation and are slowly trying to wake her up. It's all a matter of time but the doctors according to Tom are happy with her progress.
Will update tomorrow

And another (via Polly Stockton): Update on Em
She's had another positive day and shown signs of movement to stimulation and the doctors are pleased with her progress.
There is not much more to report other than everyday so far is going the right way.
Will do daily evening update for all Facebookers x
