Burghley 2022 XC thread

[sasquatch]

My wifi is playing up so I missed that one.

they definitely seem to be holding off playing the fall replays and I think are possibly on a bit of a delay following Nicola’s fall.

HD Bronze definitely looks sore bless him

 

[sasquatch]

Pippa and Tim both seem absolutely wrecked.
Can’t help but wonder how hard the ground is too

 

[crazyandme]

Interesting what Pippa said about the size of the jumps and the pins possibly being related

 

[conniegirl]

Wonder if they will extend the time allowed. No one round inside yet

Doubt it - it's Burghley, time has always been hard to get.

 

[sasquatch]

Sensible from Phoebe

 

[sasquatch]

Noble Call looks absolutely massive and is making some of those fences look much smaller than they are

 

[sasquatch]

Padraig McCarthy over time but no jumping faults.

American rider looks a bit out of control ?

He's such a 'yes man' horse isn't he? Nothing's a bother at all!

 

[sasquatch]

jumped round like he was just enjoying himself schooling with no pressure at all. Didn’t even look like he was going anywhere fast either, but he managed to only be 30 seconds over time

 

[DiNozzo]

Cornelia Dorr is going much better than I thought she might! They both seem to want to weight the front but they've got the reach and the jump when they need!!

 

[GreyDot]

What is the optimum time?

 

[sasquatch]

What a weird fall, really did happen in slow motion

 

[DiNozzo]

I think I jinxed him... Was just thinking Rodolphe makes me feel very safe and then tips over in that water

 

[sasquatch]

What is the optimum time?

11.20, no one has made it yet and looks like Cordelia will probably be over despite being quick

 

[DiNozzo]

What is the optimum time?

11 20 I think

it was all going so well, and then it was one of the slowest falls I think I’ve seen in a long time. He just sort of slowly slid into the water

 

[Tiddlypom]

Cornelia Dorr's hose finished very tired. Did not enjoy her round.

 

[sasquatch]

Does anyone there know what the ground is like and how solid it is?
Can’t help but wonder if that’s also affecting how people are riding

 

[DiNozzo]

Very sticky for Wills Oakden through the Trout Hatchery, but clean through it.

 

[sasquatch]

Andrew James on course now

originally thought it was William FP with the sleeves and as the horse looks like Chilli Morning ?

 

[DiNozzo]

Best line to that corner at the Maltings from Oaken

Is it not one of his babies?

 

[sasquatch]

Andrew James has had a stop

 

[sasquatch]

Is it not one of his babies?

yes, made me have a moment of d’oh haha

 

[DiNozzo]

I think they said in the preview that the ground is good. Lots of chat on the 'perfect' weather conditions.

I forgot how pretty Francis Whittington is.

 

[sasquatch]

Francis Whittington lucky there

 

[DiNozzo]

Very sweet horse too.

 

[sasquatch]

Still none clear inside the time, even with a fast round by Wills

 

[DiNozzo]

Andrew looks knackered! Horse making harder work of it than he thought I think
