Brilliant if slightly scary round for Mary she is one brave lady and an amazing rider!

Brilliant ride but pity about the time penalties.

[Elliegazzellie]

press the red button and you can watch it that way!

 

[pootleperkin]

Zara on at about 15:45 due to delays

 

[Hedgewitch13]

No the vets were checking it over out of the public eye and quite right too!

 

[pootleperkin]

we are now in the lead in the team comp after 2 riders round! Long way to go though, as Mike Tucker would say!

 

[Mascara.]

Keep up the good work Britain.

 

[Bertolie]

Did I just hear that Mary's time penalties have been reduced to 1.2?

 

[pootleperkin]

Mary's time has been readjjusted after the stop - she is now in the lead!

 

[HashRouge]

Mary's time has been amended - only 1 time fault and she's leading individual rider!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hedgewitch13]

Bugger it's the diving now as well... Tv and laptop on the go

Yay Mary's top!

 

[GreedyGuts]

I wouldn't read too much into the screens or the stops. There are a massive number of vets at Greenwich, and a real push to be seen to be fully checking out any potentially injured horses, and obviously it's only right that this be done with the screens up.

Some crashing falls so far, and not much room for error on the course, but hopefully no major injuries to horses or riders.

Well my geegee is on paddock rest atm and I've already been to see her twice today, as well as been to work, so I feel entitled to be lazy

Anyone else plotting a bank robbery/lottery win followed shortly by the purchase of a large park and seriously talented horse?
