is there holes in that water splash?

i think Inonothing made a hole and left his overreach boot in it, they're tripping over that!

 

[kerilli]

oh dear, Bruno Bouvier can't count down from 10 in English!

 

[only_me]

LOL!

 

[carys220]

Is that the SJ ring that they jump through? It will be a right mess tomorrow with all those spectators stood on it!

 

[lucretia]

i have just got in and i see the list of also rans is now impressive. any bad things i need to know about

 

[kerilli]

oh no, couldn't have been more committed, horse was just confused. such a shame.

 

[piebaldsparkle]

SJ is in main arena (where the hedges are), I think.

 

[jules89]

Don't spoil it! BBC coverage is about 45 mins behind and some people aren't watching the results page! (I am though

)

lucretia, it's caused problems all over the place tbh. the dreaded 1st mushroom has caused 2 horrible horse falls, both rolled over and were fine. Discovery Valley has caught out some really good ones too, Hope Street didn't look sound at all being led away after straddling the ditch and getting a bit stuck. FC and Moonfleet both didn't lock on to the rail out of Capability's, ran out, retired.

 

[lucretia]

just as well you told me, tho i was surprised they were supposed to be live however i am talking about the pones that clearly went ages ago, what happened to oli ruth matheew wright daisy etc

 

[jules89]

im suprised polly went for that

 

[carys220]

MW had a tantrum while his poor horse stood in shock after falling at the 1st mushroom.

 

[_April_]

What a shame for Polly but I thought that horse was looking nervous even at Fence 2?? It kept running to the left...

 

[jules89]

oh this is the lady who is doing the diary for H&H isnt it
good luck to her

 

[B_2_B]

Dunauger is stunning!

 

[lucretia]

ok. dont suppose anyone has got wet?

 

[kerilli]

Ruth - run out at brush part of Disco Valley.
Oli - run out at 2nd part Capability's.
MW - fall at shroom.
Daisy - straddled ditch at Disco Valley.

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Well we haven't seen most of the brit retirees/eliminations and have been told nothing so we're pretty clueless.

 

[jules89]

haha could you imagine if the next person catching her up!!

 

[lucretia]

this one might as well trot round

 

[hotellie]

good luck tracey!

 

[kerilli]

nobody wet so far i think. we didn't see it all though, we had nice view of a tent being put up for about 30 minutes...
Tracy Garside has the handbrake on i think. Such a stunning horse. Jumping these big fences slowly makes them feel wider though!

 

[jules89]

oops i edited that above so it didnt make a lot of sense...oops

 

[lucretia]

what might dunauger be qualifying for scottty? this is a four star....

 

[piebaldsparkle]

LMAO.............Do you think they would yell 'coming through' as they galloped past!!!

 

[carys220]

I think the horse wants to go faster!!

 

[jules89]

makes u realise how fast everyone else goes though doesnt it
at least tracy's brakes are working

 

[jules89]

isnt it to requalify for badders and a 4* next season, i have no idea just remember them saying earlier
