[kerilli]

r-star v nicely through sunken road.
aussie Hamish Cargill starting now.

 

[Vizslak]

Snips a funny little thing hey, he is going beautifully again now but keeps looking v sticky and unhappy in places!

 

[Vizslak]

Ouch!

 

[kerilli]

joe meyer v good through farmyard. not great on the clock though.
r-star great through quarry.
r-star falls at first open corner, total misser to it. horse up and fine.

 

[Lolo]

:O Poor person!!

 

[Katie_B]

Oh god!! I get a screen back just in time to see that fall!

 

[Vickijay]

such a shame for r-star. Lovely mare

 

[kerilli]

joe finishes on 69.4, had time pens.
kristi being tended to, didn't get landed on.
hamish going well, through coffin.

 

[kerilli]

real shame for r-star, totally unbalanced approach though, could see it coming way out unfortunately.
boyd martin now commentating, just said he used to go forward more in midair as Hamish does, and managed to knock himself out doing that a few years ago, eeeek..
hamish held.

 

[kerilli]

yes, snip doesn't look as though he's loving it, he switches off a bit here and there. joe did well to get him round clear.
course still held while they tend to kristi.

 

[JCWHITE]

Seems like a long hold,Hope Kristi is ok
pity Hamish, is this to his advantage or disadvantage do you think?

 

[JCWHITE]

Oh dear Hamish has had two runouts

 

[Trish C]

Disadvantage

Feel sorry for him

 

[Vizslak]
