Hickstead Derby - BBC2

[H's mum]

I don't think he was on an easy horse ...

 

[Puppy]

Gah! Shame about the top of the bank...

 

[clairel]

That's it I cursed him!

Very brave kicking like that on top of the bank though!

 

[annret]

I think this is a fab first derby round from alex duffy, despite the difficulty at the bank!

Love the horse, with his cheeky kick out - definately destined to be a crowd pleaser.

No ... it looked like a swine

I feel sorry for him as they built it up over the commentary and then they horse decided it didn't want to play

 

[H's mum]

Absolutely because they can just leap off it!

Isn't he just! OH gosh what a shame at least he has another chance...

Things never seem to go as well for him as I feel he deserves!

Tehehehehehehehe

Oh Puppy you are naughty

 

[clairel]

This is a HUGE jumper!

 

[Puppy]

"he's got his blood out" - what a great expression!

Looking a good round here!

 

[Eira]

Oh unlucky through the Dyke/Dike ?

 

[Dottie]

Blimey he's strong!

 

[Puppy]

What a horse!

And well ridden

 

[SilverSkye]

That was a lovely round on a very difficult horse.

 

[annret]

Tina obviously knows her horse very well, which is fab to see. I think women do ride sharper types particularly well; in the same way men get more out of phlegmatic types.

 

[Puppy]

Crikey charlie!!

 

[H's mum]

please retire.....

 

[Puppy]

Hmmm, covering up the spur marks there....?

 

[H's mum]

That was more than 2 refusals before the bell rang!

[Eira]

Gosh I LOVE this horse

 

[clairel]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think in SJ it is the back legs that have to step backwards to result in a refusal?

 

[Puppy]

He seems rather distracted by his reins!
