Not a nice fall that.

 

[welshchick]

Oh no, I hope Katrin is ok. The horse looks shocked.

 

[teapot]

Can Phillip Dutton push the USA to the top of the scoreboard? He is on 48.2.

Has anyone got the other current 3 scores? And I'll do some maths. What are the Brits on, 139 ish?

Think it'll be tight

 

[brushingboots]

Sam Grifiths has just set off..

 

[Bay_Beasty]

Thats 20 surely!

 

[alwaysbroke]

Sams horse really thought about that ditch before running out

 

[welshchick]

Happy Times is looking rusty.

 

[PorkChop]

Oh no! I love Happy Times
b****r

 

[alwaysbroke]

Poor horse what line was he on?

 

[AFlapjack]

Oh God

 

[Bay_Beasty]

Oh my gosh!!! What was he thinking

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Oh my!! That could have been SO nasty! But crap line! Poor Sam!

 

[mil1212]

blimey sam that could've been nasty, wasn't on the right line 3 strides away from the corner

 

[Puppy]

Oh my word! What a terrible looking fall for Sam. Thank goodness the horse is ok.

 

[welshchick]

Eeeek, Sam wasn't on the right line to that corner! Glad they got up!

 

[teapot]

What did he do? Missed it?

(that'll muck up the Aussie score too by the sounds of it)

 

[Honey08]

Sam G's round has scared the life out of me. Made Buk Dickinson's look good!

 

[3Beasties]

Eeek, another one bites the dust!

Bad, bad line

 

[PorkChop]

Poor Sam and Australia

Love how the commentator seems to have not a lot of sympathy with the fallers at the wall corner

 

[ElphabaFae]

I think he tried to take a stride out at the big stone corner...

Poor horse thank god he was ok!

 

[brushingboots]

i have a feeling its now unhappy times for sam..

 

[lindsayH]

Holy crap, what is it with that corner?! That's 3 or 4 that have done something similar there now. Is it because the horses get confused and can't figure out if they are supposed to jump the wall or the corner? Horrible.

 

[Bay_Beasty]

Cant believe that, 2 very bad lines at the same fence.

 

[alwaysbroke]

Is this years look grease in the Italians horses tails?

 

[welshchick]

What a bad mistake; he certainly wasn't going to get away with that!

 

[Bay_Beasty]

So glad the french rider jumped it ok. I missed the other two falls at that fence today, who also fell.

 

[pootler]

Not sure if Philip Dutton can make a change to the team placings.

 

[swanny]

Not sure if Philip Dutton can make a change to the team placings.

not sure about the team, don't think they can over take us but i think, out of riders left to go, only Michael Jung can go ahead of WFP.

The ones that fell have gone at it like a bull at a gate, when its a wide thing that needs a good check and accurate line.

 

[welshchick]

We now have just five riders waiting to start.
