sharon hunt, best round of the day all the direct routes foot perfect, fabulous. nicola wilson, in case anyone has forgotten what a dead good jock the tweddler still is even if now a married lady, rosie we are all rosiefans today, matt wright and andrew nicholson for knowing when to call it a day, mary for still smiling after THAT fall.
sadly no cheers for Oli. i have stuck up for him plenty on here but that was not nice to watch, the horse was shattered and i hope is ok tomorow.
 
And Georgie Davies and a couple of the other youngsters who rode better than people twice their age. Definite Rosie-fan (apoplogies to the real Rosiefan) and not a fan of the rides had by the first French chap (no. 24 I think) or anyone else who rode at fence 3 far too fast and tipped their horses on their heads - what's wrong with a good old-fashioned coffin canter!
Also credit to Neil Fox who was about 2 minutes over the time but took most of the long routes and went at a safe pace and gave the horse a really nice experience.

The people who didn't ride well really paid the price for it. Would have liked to see fewer knackered horses at the last few fences though.
