Not much fun trotting up with thunder storms all around. Some horses are feeling it.

I'm pleased to see Karen Dixons daughter Tara is competing, I'd completely missed that.

Yes I have the same problem on the Burghley TV app on the Amazon Firestick - I've logged in ok but could only see this year's preview, and last year's content.
I can view the trot up fine on the App on my Android phone though.

I like that the commentators just clarified they are looking for functional soundness and fitness to compete.

Me too, he was really quite lame!

So was I, my heart sank at the prospect the horse may go through. Thankfully the GJ held strong. Sad for the rider but the horse was dog lame

How is functional soundness different to actual soundness?
The grey was proper lame, why would you represent him?
Glad that the rain mostly held off, there were some very lit up horses there today.

Well they're not doing flexion tests at the trot up for a start.
No idea of the grey's background/history/what was said in the holding box etc so no idea why they represented but the right decision was made.

The honest answer is that I’d hazard a guess, maybe 80% are functional sound and the rest very sound!
So the functional ones, on close examination are probably not truely even and/or are fairly heavily managed. The naked eye can only tell so much.

Is the trot up still ongoing? Burghley TV app shows nothing

Do they get their entry fee back when spun as have a "vet certificate"?
Feel for her as horse is 17 so possibly last chance to start a 5* and its her first one.

Quite a lot of withdrawals, before first horse inspection, now 52 go forward to dressage…

It's not their first 5*. First Burghley, yes.

Just 52 starters, is that a record?
Us Burghley tv viewers will still get our money’s worth on XC day because, although the start intervals will be lengthened so the day doesn’t finish too soon, we should see more footage of each combination on course.
Dressage coverage starts 9.45 am tomorrow.
ETA It was 52 presented at the trot up, one was spun, so 51 starters for the dressage assuming no more withdrawals.

You did used to get it back for completion though! Not sure if that's still the case.

Yes, if you go to drawn order on Burghley website, you can see who has withdrawn…for example Susie Berry who has been chosen on Irish team for Europeans and a couple of others….
