Looks like Paul is clear so far

 

[pootler]

Happy for Karin Donkers, she took flack for being slow in the past but has proved she can put her foot down.

 

[Marydoll]

Oh no i want to see him, hes great to watch

 

[PolarSkye]

Yeah - come on - where's Taperz?

P

 

[Laafet]

Might get to see him now and Tim Lips too

 

[PolarSkye]

Oh look at the fuss he made of Kilronan . . . bless him.

[armchair_rider]

I thought you can't get eliminated for crossing tracks? Isn't it a 20 penalties thing? If he's eliminated then it must be a missed fence or wrong side of the flags.

That's what I thought. Unless not having re-presented after crossing his tracks means he counts as missing the fence?

Lovely to see Paul Tapner - and nice use of his red kit.

 

[PolarSkye]

Fab through the water, but talk about hands and heels!

P

 

[only_me]

He went the wrong side of the first skinny into water yeah? Did he not re-jump that but not jump the second skinny which i think is part b?
Would that eliminate him?

Me too . . . love the red OR boots .

Do we know which fence it was at? If he crossed his tracks, presumably it was to jump an alternative and if that's the case, my previous comment still applies! Confused

 

[JennBags]

Is Paul Tapner chewing gum on his way round?!

 

[Marydoll]

Ooh they romped home, well done Tapperz

I think that was the third German team rider who had the problems going into the water, not Andreas.

 

[PolarSkye]

Dag Albert's horse finished really tired . . . but Tim Lips is on course now . . . another one I love watching

No we don't. I think we're probably just confusing ourselves here. Oh well. But as I said, given that he had about the fastest time all day, it doesn't seem likely that he had a near refusal and subsequent confusion over an alternative route.

Ah ok, thank you

 

[PolarSkye]

I love Tim Lips' horse . . .

[tonkatoy]

andreas apparently doesnt know why hes eliminated either!!!!

 

[only_me]

Ooh careful aoife!

 

[Laafet]

Ooh careful aoife!

Heart in the mouth moment!

 

[Laafet]

Harry Meade on course.

 

[Honey08]

It gets weirder. Andreas Ostholt is now back on the scoreboard in fifth!

 

[Honey08]

Mistaken post about Harry.

 

[Templebar]

My scoreboard shows harry clear at 9, rider 87 had R at 9.

 

[mypegasus]

Can see that there may be a few reviews going on before the results are actually finalised tonight

Seems quite reasonable given that nobody seems to know what he was eliminated for in the first place. But the organisation and scoring does seem to leave something to be desired.

 

[Laafet]

Harry showing stop at 9.

That's the Spanish rider, Harry is the one below, clear so far.

 

[Honey08]

Yep, sorry changed my post a few mins ago!

 

[kirstyfk]

Why are they showing so much of the Spanish guy?

I love watching harry!
