Did Dubs look a bit lame as Tom led him away?

I think Oli's XC round was one of the best I saw today along with Vermiculus and Jenny B's.

Kirsty Chabert had a stop and time faults, the others went clear with some time faults.

There’s something that doesn’t 100% convince me about Dubs, can’t put my finger on it….

I agree, same. I don't know if it's to do with the association of Nicolas fall on him though.
Oli's round was amazing, even if he is "the devil" lol.

According to tom dubs finished sound so 
Agree olis round was amazing coolly to me should be his Olympic potentisl as he’s usually very reliable at the show jumping and as we all know that in the olympics is very influential

I get the impression that Dubs isn't that honest, and while I like Tom's riding, he does sometimes make odd decisions. Like why so fast off that step? Or when he absolutely flew into that bounce at Badminton and crashed.

Opinions are like bum holes, everyone has one.
I don’t get that impression about Dubs. Aachen was a bit unlucky and lots of horses have picked up faults and I was there at the fence at euros and just ran out of stamina which many did on that ground and left a leg which tipped Tom out. They know each other better now but still learning.

Gone back and edited. Left a leg there and tipped Tom out front door. Just ran out of puff which many did on that ground including MJ….

I was pondering similar: different horses but comes a cropper powering through combinations.

I think it’s a bit overly critical TBH- he was too fast into the bounce on a hard-pulling and very fresh TDK but I’ve never seen any other riding from him that would be wrong for the question in front of him.
He didn’t do much wrong off the step, just didn’t quite meet the skinny right and the horse jumped a bit awkwardly so he made a very quick and good decision to go long, his pace was fine IMO

His interview was interesting as he says in it he is not sure why he chose to approach the drop the way he did and that it was the wrong choice.

He was frank which he generally is in interview.Things happen very fast on a 5* x/c and riders have to react. Which is what he did and the horse responded. Far from dishonest .

Never said the horse was dishonest, said I got the impression he is not quite as honest as others as he always seems quite managed by Tom. I still like Tom as a rider.

Ah thanks, that explains it @lannerch
I was sure I'd read that she was competing this year, obviously not though. Thanks for clearing up our confusion!

Well another interesting decision by the ground jury. They eliminated Zach Brant after he had completed XC clear for pressing a tired horse!!
I thought the whole idea of the tired horse ruling was that it was applied during the round not after the round was complete............

Very strange.

One horse withdrawn at Kentucky final trot-up, plus one eliminated before it
One horse was withdrawn from the holding box at the Kentucky Three-Day Event final trot-up for the five-star class this morning
