i know they keep saying that William has to win and Mary come lower than 8th for him to win the HSBC classics, but what about if he finishes say 2nd and 3rd, or 2nd and 4th, and she's lower than 8th? just wondering...

Great to see that Joesph Murphy went clear xc!

It something about the points as William needs 15 points to win the championship which can only be gained from being placed 1st. However Mary will receive points for being placed as well so that's why she has to be below 8th and WFP 1st for him to win (I think!). If WFP comes 2nd and MK DNF (for example) she will still win the classics.

So WFP has finished Pau with 3 horses in the top 9 out of 69 starters! And all 3 have finished clear insider the time, with 2 of his horses being 9 doing their 1st 4*! All in a days work right?

I've got my dressage coefficient spreadsheet all done up to now and am just waiting for showjumping.
The MOST unusual thing has happened at Pau this year. The bottom three dressage finishers, two of whom didn't even get 50% from the judges (the other one got a 51%) all went double clear XC. Usually the horses and riders in the basement after dressage also have XC penalty points.
I have to say that riders who are based in Britain are without a doubt the world's greatest cross country riders. No all, of course, but the consistency of the majority is amazing.
How do y'all/they do it?

Good Luck to all the riders today for the showjumping. I'd love william to win, but want mary to finish in top 8 so she wins the classics. William has won it twice before, so it would be nice for mary to win it.
This is the 4th year of the classics series, and its 4 out of 4 for the brits. WFP won in 2008, followed by OT in 2009, followed by wfp again last year, and this year its either WFP again or mary. Not bad. Extra important on todays result though as its the first in the series for 2012 season, so whoever wins will have 15 points on the board for next year, plus 15 more for 2011 series.

Lucy W is in 5th, Simon Porloe's owners are our neighbours so fingers crossed she can either maintain or improve on her placing.

Yep, glorious day for sure, 2 hours North of Pau
FEI tv just started, whats happened to the commentator, his throat sounds very sore!
OK, good luck everyone!
The French rider in 1st place riding a nice Irish sports horse by Chairlift goes first, slides and demolishes the planks, he seems to be moving on , the ground looks good.96 secs is time allowed, he gets 157 penalties altogether.
Julia Dungworth next.12 f , 5 time,149.3
So the time looks a bit snug.
Sorry the first horse wasnt who I thought it was,Aloof is in now.
Clear but 11 time faults,126.1
