Watching Kentucky 2012

Drat, Alison and Arthur have come in a squeak ahead of William, but it was a super round, and such a gorgeous horse, very very close at the top!

Is anyone else furious that they "lost track of Oli" because they had a "crowd favourite on course" ?? Its just rude...

Not quite furious, but I am miffed.
Would I be right in thinking that this is only broadcast in the US? If so, then I can sort of understand, but even so, the foregin riders shouldn't be totally ignored in favour of the US ones.

I think what really annoyed me about it is that they spent quite a long time filming her walking around the start box before cross country; surely they could have shown more of Ollie at that point, even if they did want to focus on Allison whilst she was on course.

Oh well, nevermind.

Quite agree. Wasted opportunity, and even the commentators sounded like they wanted to see him.
 
The coverage by FEI is at worst, appalling and at best, completely laughable. A pair of "hockey moms" discussing their children. Didn't see Oli jump one fence - talk about biased editing (or lack of editing!). Suppose we should consider ourselves privileged that we saw William's round. Shame about Lucy - horse looked very strong.
