Casio Rivetti on Billy Birr in...OK am now scared they said FIFTY individuals first and not FIFTEEN!

Cocked up the third part of the triple, takes bricks out of wall, cocks up the triple bar too - not good, Oxer has gone, turn back was fine and now to that last line...

clear over that, but gets the last fence.

Poor Billy Birr :(

Argentina - Jose Maria Larocca - Con Air

Meant to say that the fences have gone up since yesterday :)

Clear through treble, jumping really nicely :) Hesitates at triple bar and has it down, nails the turn back tho. Final line is clear and sadly he gets the final fence.

8 faults

Gets first and last in the treble. Settled since then, clear to final line, again jumps it clear, rattles the last but it stays.

8 faults - time has been extended to 85 secs today.

Turkey - you don't see them much! Gerry Flynn, not a Turkish name LOL! He is Irish, but jumps for Turkey now!

Really nice horse, jumping well but gets a bit sticky in the treble and gets last part down. His martingale has broken, but he is still clear coming to the final line. Drifts right into the last line and gets first down, clears the double, leaves the last standing.

9 faults as has a TF.

Ukraine - Bjorn Nagel

Doesn't make back rail of element A of treble and it comes down. Lovely round the rest

4 faults, and 1 TF - 5 faults.

I don't know if it is just me, but the distance between the first fence in the final line and the double is riding MUCH better tonight - maybe the distance has been changed?

I do like this horse :) Jumps the treble beautifully. Jumps the triple bar and then kicks on for the next, flies through it, I mean through it, didn't even take off, then tried to, technically a refusal but as he continued through it counts as a knock down.

4 faults.

Pius Schweizer now - ranked 4th in the World :)

Going off at a stonking pace, soaring over the fences, clears the treble nicely and shows how to jump the triple bar and take 4 forward strides to the plank :)

Superbly clear - shows why he is so highly ranked in the World standings :)

Spain - Jesus Garmendia Echeverria

Knocks the back rail of the first element of the treble, and takes bricks out of the wall. Soaring over the rest. Final line jumped nicely and clears the Rolex oxer. Shame about the faults, was otherwise a very nice round.

Chile - Christian Santis

He is motoring - eek - but goes through the treble well. Takes a flier at the wall! Stutters into triple bar but clear and puts 5 in to the plank but gets off the floor well.

Amazingly clear through the final line and the last - wow, clear!

Daisuke Fukushima - Japan

Going really well, clear through the treble. Fiddles into the plank but it stays put.

First down in the final line, but clear over the double and the last.

4 faults

The last line is DEFFO jumping a lot easier than it did yesterday!

Egypt - Karim El Zoghby

The horse is soaring so far, doesn't look as though it wants to touch anything.....and ooops, first and last down in the treble, didn't make the widths!

Clear over triple bar and plank, and the oxer and turn back.

Final line, rattles first part of the double but it stays. Last goes.

14 faults

Norway - Geir Gulliksen

Again gets first part of the treble, back bar again. Back bar of green oxer goes too. These fences are wide! Horse naps like mad coming to final line, Geir does some amazing riding gets him over the first, totally off line for double but again a bit of quick thinking gets the horse in front of the fence, jumps both parts clear and soars over the last - well done!

Ireland now - Billy Twomey :D

He is currently in 13th BTW

OK - flies the first, and the second, and the third - Tinka is listening well. Four is clear, into the treble, beautifully done as lacked a bit of oomph going in. Bounces over the wall and triple bar and the plank - all looking great :D

Green oxer is cleared, turns back for the upright, no probs.

Last line now eeek! First clear, double clear - LAST ONE - YAAAAAAY!

Oh bugger it, he got a time fault :(

That was a beautiful round, really fantastically ridden.

Now in 1st place :)

Japan - Taizo Sugitani, I missed it!

Going beautifully, clear through the treble. His ride was sold to Marcus Ehning who hated him so this young guy got him instead, apparently he is a head case!

Gets the upright after the turn back down :( Otherwise clear

4 faults

One to watch, he is a very quiet rider and rides Avenzio 3 very well.

LOL, that was quite a blunder to the planks, wasn't it? :D He saw a long one, bless him, didn't tell the horse :)

OK here we go :)

Robert Smith first with Talan as they are jumping in reverse order....

Over the first with inches to spare. OMG, hits the second, not many have got that one down :( Over third and fourth. Through the triple and around to the wall, clear.

Triple bar, slight hesitation but gets over it, improvises into the plank but clears it. Over the oxer and the upright - oh GOD!

ARGHHHHHH Hits the first in the last line :( Clear over the rest, 1 TF too.

9 faults - he will certainly be out of contention for the final 4 :(

Our pop star now - Malin Baryard-Johnsson ;)

Jumping beautifully, nothing to report, it is spot on at every fence so far.

Final line now - clear

1 TF - but absolutely exquisite round.

Bit of a clatter over 3 but it stays. Rattles all elements of the treble but they too stay!

Gets the back bar of the triple bar down, and the plank, AND the green oxer back rail.

Clear through final line - 13 faults as 1 time to add.

Australia - Chris Chugg - he really did impress me yesterday.

The horse is flying over the fences - into the treble, still clear out of there, and over the wall. Huge effort over the triple bar, just doesn't get the horse back in time for the 5 strides to the plank and it comes down.

Clears the final line

4 faults

Saudi Arabia now - Kamal Bahamdan

Lovely grey horse is Cezanne ;)

Horse is getting up in the air and jumping well so far. Horse took the jockey through the treble and cleared all parts, no thanks to jockey. He is over the wall and triple bar, still no thanks to jockey. The horse was only bought in AUGUST from Connie Booth - OMG!

FEI Upright comes down after the turn back. First part of double comes down and the last

16 faults.

Canada - John Pearce

All eyes on John! Nicely over the treble and wall. He rides with a very forward leg position, almost looks as tho the horse is running away and he is anchoring, but that isn't the case, it is just his style I think!

Still clear into the final line, on a wing and a prayer, clears the last - CLEAR!!!

The crowd goes wild LOL!
