No disrespect to Lucinda and the brilliant little mare but I wanted either Andrew to get the Grand Slam or Over To You to have a 4* title to crown a superb career.
Andrew was extremely articulate, both in the interview recorded at Gatcombe, and immediately after his SJ round. An excellent ambassador for the sport IMO.

The commentator yesterday said the mare was only 15hh or was that another horse in the field?

Clayton was probably picking up the owners trophy. I wanted Lucinda to do well as my friend trains her and Clayton, but I also wanted Andrew to win to get the Grand Slam. In Kentucky the jumping went his way and he won because of it, and here.... horses.

Hello everyone, just arrived home from Burghley. I was so gutted that Andrew did not win, but I couldn't help feeling so happy for Lucinda. Stood next to her little mare today......so tiny! She's only 15.3hh.

Feel very sorry for Andrew Hoy - he must be absolutely gutted. Was also very impressed with the coverage of him after his first round helping to sponge off Mr Pracatan despite the fact that he still had another round to do
Congratulations to Lucinda though, and to misquote the kids sitting behind me at Blenheim last week "He would soooo have won if he hadn't had that fence down"

I felt so sorry for Andrew as he is totally lovely and (anyone else with me on this) actually quite cute too!
But his SJ was just not as good as it needed to be. The course had very few clears, and Lucinda's and Shane Rose's clears were amazing. Moonfleet was just not quite "there" in his brain. Lucinda's little mare was amazing, a tiger across country and then like a rubber ball in the SJing!
I did feel sorry for Lucinda as it's a bit gutting to win when you are taking such a massive prize away from someone else in the process. But the SJing was such an influential stage and her horse had the edge and Andrew's didn't. A real shame when his dressage was so beautiful, but the name of the game in eventing seems to be in favour of the horses who are better jumpers than dressage horses?
Hopefully another time for Andrew ...

I don't really think you can knock Lucinda's dressage thoughas she was in 2nd after the dressage only 4 points behind Andrew. Just a superb all round performance from a little mare I would take home any day.

I was suprised to read that her height is given as 15.3 - seeing her in the collecting ring on TV she looked more like 15.0 to me!

It was fantastic to watch and quite emotional - I am delighted a chestnut mare won but find it ludicrous that every one makes such a fuss of her size - at 15.3 she is not a pony, nor is she especially tiny. She may not be 17hh, but she's a pretty average height horse and not a midget!!

Am pleased that Lucinda won. And just shows how good a sportsman Andrew really is - very very gracious in defeat (and you don't normally say that about Aussies)
Really hope he wins an individual title one day - truly deserves it

That p*ssed me off too!! Plus they were going on about how she'd basically had her as a reject as no-one wanted her and she was useless- well she did ok at 2* level the season before she had her so the horse cant have been that much of a disaster

I travelled over to Spain with her for the Sunshine Tour when she was a 7 year old and my horse was stabled next to Brit. Now my horse was a little one at 15.3 hands high no bigger. And Brit was most definately a LOT smaller than my horse- I would say that she is 15.1 hands at the most!
I thought that Brit was quite ordinary at the time- thought she would make a nice Junior eventer that was it-I remember she was on the market for about a year and no-one wanted to buy her. But she looked quite a different animal at Burghley- simply outstanding!! She jumped her socks off, I thought she was the classiest horse in the field that weekend.
