Thank you Honey08

Interesting fall in the water for that guy...did have to laugh at his horse though

 

[alwaysbroke]

I turn my back for 2 mins and how many fall off?

 

[blackhorse09]

Tina still on top, yay!

Feeling sorry for the two riders who just got a ducking too...

 

[swanny]

Thanks to everyone for the Hellos.
LindsayH, I would love to grab a beer but i'm a vet nurse and i'm on call, will have to make do with tea and nicotine
Oh dear, 2 very wet jockeys, looks like they are all o.k though. Tina will be very relieved that wasn' her.
Can't see the Germans not contesting after Aachen etc!!

After sitting here for hours, I just nipped up to the loo when Tina Did/didn't get her penalties. The most contravertial moment of the competition...!!

 

[Puppy]

Damn it! Tina gets the 20 pens

 

[Finns Mum]

Bugger Only fair though

 

[RomanyMayday]

Gutted for tina

 

[3Beasties]

Oh Boo 20 penalties for Tina

 

[swanny]

Sorry, meant the Olympics B.Hoy debacle
bugger, pens have come up.

 

[FigJam]

Just announced, they HAVE given Tina the 20pens. but expected.

 

[welshchick]

Rubbish!

 

[blackhorse09]

Oh no.. 20pens for Tina

 

[FFF]

Tina has 20

 

[ElphabaFae]

Oh no poor Tina

 

[brushingboots]

i think it was to be expected and is only fair if she does get them as there was enough evidence there to give even if fence judges didn't. BUT at the end of the day, he still went clear and i still believe 20 pens is a lot for crossing tracks as its not a refusal.

 

[brushingboots]

Ruy Fro..cant spell it! Is such a class rider, i very much like him!

 

[Honey08]

What a shame! Inevitable though. There would have been a real row if not...

I totally agree with you. It should be 10 penalties. She was forced to play safe.

 

[welshchick]

Hooray, someone finally tackled the bank on a different line!

 

[Honey08]

Enjoying Lara's grey. Like a little connemara!

 

[alwaysbroke]

What a shame for Tina, but expected

Anyone for a glass of red? Dont usually partake, but real feel like a tipple after all the effort of watching this I am shattered

 

[3Beasties]

its not a refusal!

That's what I mean, it seem unfair that the same penalties are given for Crossed tracks as refusals.

 

[blackhorse09]

Interesting to see 'Mister Pooh' plaited up- looks very smart though! These two could threaten WFP's lead :S

 

[brushingboots]

I totally agree with you. It should be 10 penalties. She was forced to play safe.

Its a matter of safety also, as if she didn't take a turn it could have ended up in a potential fall.

So within the ideas of safety etc. surely it should be a minimised penalty if under safety reasons...

 

[alwaysbroke]

Good boy Mr Pooh!

 

[3Beasties]

Ill stick to my beer thanks Alwaysbroke Help yourself if anyone wants one

 

[ElphabaFae]

[brushingboots]

Mister Pooh is looking rather smart plaited!
