Burghley Cross Country Day....

[LEC]

Ollie seems to always have knackered horses at the end cannot decide if it is beacuse he pushes them so hard or he does not get them fit enough.

If I were Oli i'd pull up at this point

Well that was predictable wasn't it!! (Olis fall)

 

[MistletoeMegan]

Think OT fell off because his breeches were too tight

Yes, that fall was coming to him.
Though he really shouldnt have fallen, I'd expect a 4* rider to survive when they leave a leg gently like that!!

 

[LEC]

Not a surprise about OT it was always going to leave a leg at some point as knackered. Has he ever thought about nursing a horse round its first 4*?

True- system obviously failed. Unless the stewards darent wave down Oli Townend?
It's a lot of responsibility to make a top rider pull up with all the adrenaline etc....

Yes but when you are the Messiah sometimes things get forgotten in the blinding golden light as you gallop past.

I honestly think that the stewards are to scared to. If they did, especially with a named rider, I can almost say with certainty that the said rider would cause a stink.

Interesting isn't it that both Oli and Piggys horses are getting tired enough to leave legs....a new fitness regime needed for their stables perhaps?
