I consider burto as one of my favourite riders, think hes done a superb job!

Well that was a great day's sport IMO.
No really hideous moments, plenty of tricky fences, some good movement on the leaderboard - good coursebuilding I think.

Is tomorrow not a re-run of either Badminton or Burghley last year, of Oliver Townend and Ballaghmor Class and Piggy French with Vanir Kamir in second? Only a fence and some time penalties separating them...?
Lot of pressure there!

Thanks everyone, it’s been fun! I’ve knitted a lot of scarf and drunk a lot of wine 😂

Fly paper for freaks 🍀
Another one hoping that Piggy gets a win tomorrow <crossing everything>

Anyone watching the trot up? I was surprised they accepted the Italian rider who re-presented.

Me to certainly was lame, they must have been pretty sure the reason why, had that swelling around girth area.

Me too. I felt a bit uncomfortable but the jury discussed it for some time with the vet and the horse seemed relatively sprightly, albeit with a head nod in trot.
Gutted for Laura Collett. She did so well yesterday.

Any one know who failed the trot up or has withdrawn? The list on website just has the passes ðŸ˜

Emma's horse is beautiful. I love the XC but there's something tense and exciting about the SJ!

Bloody hell this commentator is a bit much. Sounds like I'm watching a 1990's horse film/horse race.
