Kentucky XC thread

[wizoz]

What happened to Stuart Buntine doing Badminton commentary, he was soooo funny?

 

[teapot]

what's the logo on wfp's sleeves, anyone?
Lovely through farmyard. Perfect.

WFP rode brilliantly through the hedges direct route?

 

[kerilli]

yes, about the same number of spectators at an average 1-day here!
WFP goes direct at hedges, has to push a bit but it works.
lovely stride to penultimate and to last.
2 secs over, ends on 54.

 

[welshchick]

Yeah, that lovely horse reminds me a bit of Tamarillo and Seacookie!

Katie_B, i think Boyd's too busy riding, but i agree! we need to find another Aussie to do it, love the accent!
Neuf going brilliantly. WFP really does have a bit of a favourite type, i think... clever horse at bank, super with knees up.

We'll have to hope he comes over to the UK to compete then and we can grab him

Just got a picture again to see WPF looking fab over the last couple of minutes of the course, he is just so amazingly stylish, and I really like the horse. I agree though that he does seem to have a very particular type that he likes, it obviously works though!

 

[kerilli]

ah, i'm in love with Boyd! or his voice, anyway. loved Bobby's commentary too.

 

[welshchick]

Lovely, well done Mr Fox-Pitt!

 

[kerilli]

kentucky looks so lovely, got to get myself over there one year.

 

[JCWHITE]

Right, back to dressage, Adeline and Parziival has won I think,what a weekend!
Go Mary King though....

 

[zefragile]

That leader board has been well and truly shaken up! Good day for the Brits

 

[Vickijay]

Thanks for that, she always seems so lovely. I cant wait for the showjumping now (and my lesson with her!)

Bobby Costello went up for the US coaching job with Phillip Dutton.

I was just rudely dragged away from my lappy by the sound of hooves past my window. It appears as though somebody didn't bolt one of the stables properly and one of the lads took himself for a little stroll! Luckily his stomach rules his brain and he was straight into his field for a post dinner snack and was easy to catch. However I will find out who is responsible and use the opportunity to make a bigger deal out of it than it actually was

Just wanted to say thanks for the commentary from everybody who had coverage, particularly as my broadband was typically temperamental

 

[oldvic]

Only saw the last few horses but what a star Jumbo's Jake is! He looked like he was on auto pilot but just didn't have time to assess the rails. He had a smile on his face the whole way. Mary was very brave on Urco - I'm glad there wasn't a Huntsman's Close towards the end! It looked a very good course.

 

[Puppy]

I'm very glad that you guys have kept the commentary on this thread going. I had to drag myself away as my sister is visiting and we had a nice meal planned. Tactical placing of the lappy meant that I saw most of Mary & William though, and I am thrilled with how awesome they went. Should be a good day for the Brits tomorrow I can't wait!

PS - does the Sj'ing start 3pm our time again tomorrow?
