Gin and juice is a bit strange, why not gin and tonic?

 

[EveningStar]

Still watching, past midnight over here so definitely needing sleep soon - just waiting for Jock to go and think i might call it a night. Sulking

 

[only_me]

Does anyone know which horse won best shod at the trot up? My farrier shoes a few of the irish horses and wanted to know

 

[lizness]

Seems a lot of mares about, good to see!

 

[teapot]

Didn't expect that!

 

[only_me]

Oh no whats happened now?

 

[mypegasus]

Does anyone know what VC means on the live scoreboard?

 

[teapot]

Think Anna Hilton must have had a fall

 

[only_me]

Is VC maybe a fence repair?

 

[MyDogIsAnIdiot]

WTF is going on?! Starting a rider when there's already a hold on the course and then stopping them at the first fence?

Well done.

There does seem to be a lot of people being held on course at the moment. Possibly not the best idea to start them if there was a problem - hope Anna Hilton is ok

 

[only_me]

Ohh hope anna hilton is ok :/

Why did they start Joseph then?!

Thanks AR

Gin and juice is a big thing in the states (it gets mentioned in a lot of Katy Perry songs for example) - Gin and orange juice. Really yummy, and less expensive in a bar than tonic!

 

[only_me]

Oh why has the italian walking away?

Ah thanks Khalswitz, sounds tasty enough!

Commentators suggesting he had a problem after being restarted. Not sure about that given that they are currently showing replays so maybe the horse is sore after pulling up or something?

 

[Valo]

Love how Ian Stark just quietly corrects mr Tucker whenever he comes out with rubbish

 

[only_me]

Oh Joseph!! Not good for the heart!!

 

[mypegasus]

The Italians horse did look as though he was blowing quite hard when he was stopped.

Maybe he took the decision that it wasn't his day.

Do we know what happened to Anna Hilton ?

 

[mypegasus]

If gin and juice has had another refusal should she be stopped?
Or are they letting her run to review the first water?

 

[armchair_rider]

It'll be interesting to see if Hawley gets away with that, looks distinctly like 3 refusals to me

 

[only_me]

Well sat joseph!!

We haven't heard about anna hilton yet

 

[kirstyfk]

She's showing as 3 refusals on the live results

 

[Marydoll]

Gin and Juice out !

 

[only_me]

I think Joseph has had another stop from what I can. Hear in the background - but again as he is irish we wont be able to see him!

 

[armchair_rider]

That wouldn't have caused a hold though - unless she demolished a fence in the process I suppose?

 

[teapot]

Come on Herman!

 

[only_me]

The fish seems to be jumping better now

 

[mypegasus]

Hawley and Gin and Juice now showing as eliminated on results!

 

[armchair_rider]

Runout for Jock. Clearly not NZ's event
