I like Izzy Taylor, very understated rider.

Well i jinxed her, didnt i!

 

[milliepops]

eta. Oh that's a shame.

Just about to post that

 

[milliepops]

oh she was close to staying right way up there. what a shame for her.

 

[Honey08]

Great round from Gemma though.
(safe to say it now!)

 

[milliepops]

yay nice round for Gemma.

 

[scats]

Oli made the maltings look easy.

 

[milliepops]

Oli just popped through there in such a solid rhythm.
I hope he has a good round.

Is it me or are the cross country stewards very slow to react today? Especially at the maltings where there has been a lot of problems, I feel like I'm screaming stop recording on your phone and help that horse!

Sorry I'm an hour behind but totally agree! The steward that was recording on her phone 😱 shocking!

 

[milliepops]

it's all a bit tense now, but in a good way (mostly )

 

[DiNozzo]

I hope he has a good round.

Me too. I'm not sure when he hurt his back, but you can tell its bothering him today. Not quite as secure as he has been this season.

 

[DiNozzo]

Well ridden Oliver Townend!

 

[milliepops]

very decent round from Oli
It all looked within the horse's comfort zone.

 

[milliepops]

results are ahead of the pictures again!

 

[TPO]

Oh tim 😱

 

[scats]

A dunking!

 

[fankino04]

Aargh nooo Tim!!!

 

[Honey08]

Poor. Tim! He was going great.

 

[lannerch]

All so close Britain 1,2 &3 😀 love pippa to win just reread her autobiography

 

[milliepops]

I thought that could be the only place it could happen, saw the E on the results and couldn't imagine any of the fences left could have caused it. What a shame!

 

[milliepops]

All so close Britain 1,2 &3 😀 love pippa to win just reread her autobiography

yeah and then quite a gap between 3 and 4. I wouldn't mind any of those 3 winning

 

[Honey08]

Well what a funny Burghley. Too much inexperience. If we'd had a couple more Oliver horses, a couple of Nicholson rounds and a Toddy and Tina round thrown in it would have been a very different day.

Today it was exactly the same no of eliminations/retired as completions, if Ive counted correctly.
