Chris Burton's XC round was as beautiful to watch as his dressage test!

 

[Mince Pie]

Nice to see how many horses are coming back still looking energetic

[PolarSkye]

I loved that slow mo of him jumping the corner/brushes - you could see his body ON the line for the 2nd element as he came over the first . . . masterclass.

I know it's not very patriotic of me but I so enjoyed watching Christopher Burton and that gorgeous horse, I almost want him to win now

 

[Crackerz]

2 inside the time out of 21 runners...!

 

[Northern Hare]

Chris Burton into the lead on 37.60 - well done to Chris!

 

[BigBuck's]

Two questions if anyone can answer them please:

Did we get a definitive decision re Gemma and eliminated/not eliminated?
What was Chris Burton's score? I looked at my phone screen just as the graphic disappeared and my aging eyes were too slow to focus.

TIA.
