Wayne has ridden a cracking test bar errors on pirouettes. then unbalanced in extension..Lorenzo looks good....

Hx

 

[Santa_Claus]

indeed he has he just edged ahead of laura now so 5th and 6th respectively. i forgot they an hour ahead so last horse today is at 3:45 our time

 

[littlehoofprint]

my instructor is out there watching! lucky thing!!

 

[Doublethyme]

Managed to catch Wayne at lunchtime on the TV, looked good. Just looking at the updated results, how on earth did the Australian Girl lying last manage to get only 10%!!!! Anyone see it??

 

[Santa_Claus]

she either didn't finished or only performed half the movements at a guess OR its literally updating live and only given her marks for the first few movements but that unlikely!

 

[CastleMouse]

Thanks for giving the link for that Katie

There was an Australian woman who retired (I think she was meant to be doing pirouettes or something or other, the horse was resisting and then just flipped out, going backwards etc. - was watching on the streaming video). That was probably a test worth about 10%! Poor lady though, to get to WEG and have to retire because your horse is having an 'off' day! What a day to pick!
My instructor is watching too, her trainer is currently 28th on 58.083%. Apparently it was uncertain whether she would go or not so at least she qualified, and got there and did her test!
Damn I wish I had Sky!

 

[CastleMouse]

Anna Merveldt isn't doing too badly

 

[katelarge]

Have set Sky plus for the ONE FLIPPIN HOUR that is coming on at 3:30 on Eurosport! They have got BOWLS on another channel!!! Hello?

 

[CastleMouse]

Yeah, I set my Sky + for all the coverage over the next 2 weeks. I recorded the dressage this morning, and I had missed a load of the tests already because bloomin' Eurosport had decided to show it a bit earlier!

 

[lifeslemons]

Gosh - I am the only one that thinks that Laura will be slightly disapointed with her mark. She and Douglas are more than capable of scoring a 70% - but then as the australia women's horse showed, they can be unreliable!

I wouldn't have expected Wayne to be ahead of her - but well done Lorenzo!

 

[Olliedog]

Poor Kelly Layne

...
Unfortunately Amoucher has a reputation for this sort of behaviour

But when he's actually being a good boy he's without a doubt one of our best combinations.

 

[lizzie_liz]

i thought them say the australian got eliminated in her test, but it just wasn't happening for her today which is such a shame.

 

[Olliedog]

Someone on another forum posted that he'd smashed part of the arena before he entered, and from then on Kelly couldn't hold him.

Whatever happened, it's such a shame, they really are a talented pair, just need to sort his brain out

 

[Santa_Claus]

fantastic 70.417% from Emma to put her in 4th and raising our chances of getting that bronze!

 

[Halfstep]

Oh brilliant! Well done Emma! God I wish I could see it.

 

[Santa_Claus]

grr USA have snuck ahead of us for the Bronze. Sandy needs to better Laura's score by at least 1% for us to go ahead and the final US rider needs to get less than 64%!!

 

[burtie]

Darn , the 3rd American has just posted 72.708, by my maths unless Brentina goes very badly and Sandy Phillips very very well, they have got us beat to the bronze........

 

[Santa_Claus]

yep see my other post about it! we are 1.4% behind them now! lets hope Bretina has an off day which i don't think overly likely!

 

[darksided]

That Ukrainian test has stuck in my mind. Oh dear

 

[Halfstep]

Anky in second place with 75%. Do the Germans have it in the bag I wonder?

Looks like Kyra K must have done a nice test, she's just in above Emma H. Fingers crossed for Sandy and Lara now.

 

[Santa_Claus]

ankys down to 3rd now interestingly and sweden have gone into bronze

 

[burtie]

If I've done the maths right, Sandy and Lara need to score over 70.874 for us to beat the Danes and 71.25 for us to beat the Swedes. Good luck and finger crossed for them, but a tough one

 

[Halfstep]

Sandy got 68.292, currently in 20th place. Not good enough I'm afraid! But what unpredictable results. I don't think Andreas Helgstrand and Matine were tipped for a result like that! Nice to see the gorgeous Briar up there as well.

 

[Santa_Claus]

not good enough for bronze but really not unexpected. 4 good scores and all should go through to the special which is a very good result for GB.

 

[dieseldog]

Is this the best result for Dressage at WEG?

 

[Dovorian]

What a pity - I had hoped SP would be 70+, although it is easy to say that horses are unpredictable, why is it that so often the Dutch, German, Swedish etc are so damnably good!!!!
