>> LET'S REMIND OURS OURSELVES OF THE DRESSAGE YESTERDAY, THE 3, 2, 1 AND IN THIRD PLACE, LINDSAY TRAISNEL WITH THE WONDERFUL, SHE PERFORMED BRILLIANTLY AND IT WAS SO LOVELY TO SEE SOME NEW NAMES AT THE TOP OF THE LEADERBOARDS.

BOYD MARTIN, WELL, HE IMPRESSED.

HE, OF COURSE, WON THE VERY FIRST 5 STAR HERE AND BOYD, ANOTHER LOVELY TEST WITH ANOTHER LOVELY HORSE.

>> TACTFULLY RIDDEN AND BEAUTIFUL HORSE FOR THE FUTURE FOR TEAM USA.

I EXPECT HIM TO STAY ON TOP OF THE PODIUM FOR THE WEEKEND.

>> HE REALLY IS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE TO BEAT.

HE IS A MASTER AT HIS OWN WORK.

BUT THIS LADY, COSBY GREEN AND HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS, FIRST 5 STAR FOR THIS HORSE, SECOND 5 STAR.

SHE RODE COPPER BEACH EARLIER IN THE YEAR.

BUT SHE JUST WAS PHENOMENAL.

>> SHE WAS PHENOMENAL AND I HOPE SHE STAYS ATOP BUT WE HAVE SOME CHAMPIONS ABOUT TO ENTER THIS 20 X 60 ARENA.

IT IS ALL TO PLAY FOR BUT SHE WAS DELIGHTED, THE THRILLS OF THE CROWD AND CERTAINLY THE JUDGES REWARDED HER.

TODAY THOUGH IT IS ALL ABOUT THE SECOND HALF OF THE DRESSAGE.

BUBBY UPTON COLA WILL BE UP FIRST.

TAMMY SMITH FORMER 5 STAR WINNER AT KENTUCKY, MAI BAUM, SECOND AS WELL, HE NEEDS AND WANTS THE WIN.

JAY MEYER AND THEN EMA KLUGMAN WITH BRONTE BEACH AND THEN THE 12 COMBINATIONS WE WILL SEE HERE THIS AFTERNOON, IT WILL BE FOLLOWING EMA, JENNY BRANNIGAN, TIM PRICE, TIM WHO WOULD BE HERE IN 2022 WITH COUP RIDES SUE BENSON'S FALCO HERE TODAY.

A BRILLIANT IMPRESSIVE HORSE IN THE DRESSAGE, JESSICA PHOENIX WITH WABBIT, AND HARRY MEADE WITH IT IT, BOITD MARTIN AND LAST TO GO, GOLDEN EYE,E IF FE GOLDEN EYE.

IT HAS BEEN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WEATHER CONDITIONS.

A SLIGHT BREEZE.

>> IT'S THE PLACE TO BE REALLY, SPENCER.

>> IT IS THE HOT SEAT TO BE.

IT REALLY IS.

OKAY.

LET'S KNUCKLE DOWN TO THE GRIT.

AND THE GUTS OF THE SECOND DAY.

BUBBY UPTON MAKING HER WAY TO THE ARENA.

A LONG WAY FROM THE WARMUP ARENA, BUBBY AND COLA, A PHENOMENAL HORSE, LOVELY RIDER IN THE DESCRJ DRESSAGE AND SHE HAS MADE THE TRIP OVER.

IT'S BEEN HELPED BY THE PROJECTS SHE HAS HAD SUPPORT FROM THE HOUGHTON WAY AND COLA OWNED BY HER MOTHER, IN RECIDIVISM UPTON, 14 YEARS OLD THE MARE VANESSA AND ANOTHER CONTENDER.

SO THIS IS A LOVE-- HE IS LOVELY.

SHE IS SUPER AND BRILLIANT IN ALL THREE PHASES AND SHE IS A VERY COOL COOKIE.

SHE HAS HAD A TERRIBLE YEAR.

SHE WAS VERY ILL. SHE WAS IN HOSPITAL.

SHE WAS-- SHE HAD TO LEARN TO WALK AGAIN.

AND THEN WENT TO BURLEY.

YOU KNOW, THIS GIRL IS NOTHING BUT TOUGH.

SHE HAS MADE A VERY STRONG STUFF.

VERY WORRYING TIMES WHEN SHE WAS IN HOSPITAL.

BUT SHE IS BACK.

SHE IS AS GOOD AS SHE HAS BEEN AND THIS IS GOING-- THIS AFTERNOON, WE'VE GOT SUCH QUALITY IN THE HORSES.

WE'VE SEEN SOME BRILLIANT TESTS.

A REMINDER OF OUR GROUND JURY FOR SWEDEN, CHRISTINA KLINGSPOR AT C, VALERIE PRIDE AT H AND AT B, FOR FRANCE, XAVIER LE SAUCE.

GETTING UNDER WAY HERE THIS AFTERNOON.

IT IS BUBBY UPTON WITH THE 14-YEAR-OLD COLA.

>> AND WE SEE HER COMING DOWN THE CENTER LINE, BROWN ADVISORY HUGE SUPPORTERS MAKING THIS ALL POSSIBLE.

AND WHAT A WAY TO START US OFF THERE WITH THAT NICE SQUARE HALT.

IT'S A BIG TRIP COMING ACROSS HERE AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PUT A HORSE ON THE PLANE IF THEY DON'T FEEL THEY CAN COME AWAY WITH A TOP PLACING.

AND LIKE YOU SAID, SOME HUGE ADVERSITIES BUBBY HAS OVER COME BUT SHE IS NOT THINKING ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW.

>> BUBBY HERSELF, SHE IS A GREAT AMBASSADOR FOR THE SPORT.

SHE WON WITH COLA AT THE YOUNG RIDER CHAMPIONSHIPS THAT WAS IN THE NETHERLANDS BACK IN 2019.

SHE WAS INDIVIDUAL SILVER, TEAM GOLD, THEY COLLECTED ON THAT OCCASION.

SHE HAS MEDALLED PONIES, JUNIORS AND YOUNG RIDERS AND MORE RECENTLY WITH THIS HORSE, SHE WON THE VERY BIG AND VERY STRONG 4 STAR IN THE U.K. OFF THE BACK OF HER TOP 10 PLACING AT BAD MINTON THIS SPRING.

>> AND SO FAR TRENDING INTO THE LEAD POSITION HERE AS WE COME ACROSS FOR HER ENGS TENSION, WE BEGIN THE TEST HOLDING BACK JUST A LITTLE BIT FOR THE FIRST MEDIUM AND THEN THERE SHE REALLY SHOWS OFF THE QUALITY OF THE GATES GAIT, THE FRAME, THE OUTLINE, EVERY NOW AND THEN OPENING THE MOUTH.

WILL THE JUDGES MARK THAT?

>> THEY WILL.

SHE IS SITTING IN SECOND AT THE MOMENT ON 25.6 BEHIND OUR LEADER COSBY GREEN WHO IS ON 25.3 AT THIS STAGE IN THE TEST.

BUT YES, THEY WILL BECAUSE THEY SEE THAT AS A SLIGHT RESISTANCE THAT HE IS NOT SETTLED COMPLETELY IN THE CONTACT.

THIS HORSE CAN GET-- HE CAN GET A LITTLE BIT NERVY.

HE IS A REALLY GOOD HORSE IN ITS BRAIN BUT HE HAS GOT A LITTLE BIT OF AN INTROVERT SIDE TO HIM.

BUBBY HAS TO HOLD HIS HAND AND JUST GIVE HIM A LITTLE BIT OF ASSURANCE.

BUT HE HAS GOT A SUPER WALK HERE.

>> I MEAN WE ARE SO EXCITED TO SEE THAT.

WE SAW A LOT OF HORSES IN THE 3 STAR STRUGGLING WITH NERVES AND THE WALK AND TO SEE THE PROFESSIONALISM THERE.

SHE IS VERY SLICK AS SHE PICKS THE REINS UP AND MOVES FROM THAT EXTENDED WALK TO THE MEDIUM WALK EXTENDED TO THE MEDIUM AND QUITE A DIFFICULT MOVE AS YOU SAY.

WE HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW HORSES THAT HAVE GOT TENSE ESPECIALLY FROM THE EXTENDED TO THE MEDIUM.

>> HERE, MOVING TO THE HALT, AND ANOTHER REALLY NICE PLACE HERE.

THEY'VE GOT FIVE STEPS.

BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED AND STRIKING RIGHT OFF TO THE CANTER.

SO AT THIS POINT, THINGS MIGHT START SHIFTING IN THAT PODIUM.

>> YEAH, HE'S GOT A SUPER CANTER AND HE CHANGING, HIS CHANGES ARE USUALLY PRETTY GOOD AND THE FIRST OF THOSE IS COMING UP.

WATCHING THE LEFT HIND LEG AND HE WAS LATE BEHIND.

>> SO SHE'S GOT THREE MORE CHANCES TO GET IT RIGHT BUT THIS IS WHAT WE SAW A LITTLE BIT YESTERDAY SPENCER, SOME HORSES TRENDING FOR TOP SPOTS AND JUST MISSING OUT ON THE CHANGES CAN BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE FINAL SCORE.

>> REALLY COSTLY.

COMING UP TO THE NEXT CHANGE HERE.

>> THAT WAS BETTER.

SHE GAVE HIM A PAT, TOO, WHICH WAS LOVELY TO SEE.

>> AND THAT'S ABSOLUTELY ALLOWED, IF NOT, FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW, SOMETHING THAT I GIVE AN EXTRA POINT FOR.

JUST REMINDING HIM HE'S GOT THIS.

SHE COMES THROUGH FOR THE THIRD CHANGE.

>> AND THAT WAS JUST TIGHT, TENSE.

>> STILL CLEAN, STILL A CLEAN BUT NOT GOING TO GET A HIGH MARK THERE.

>> LOVELY AIR GIEM TIME, GOOD GROUND COVER, SHOWING THE TRANSITION UP, DOWN, NOW THE STRETCH ON THE CIRCLE BEFORE THEY PICK UP THE REIN, CROSS THE DIAGONAL AND ANOTHER FLYING CHANGE.

AND THIS IS HIS BETTER REIN FOR THE FLYING CHANGES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT.

YEAH, NICELY DONE, REALLY NICE.

ON THE BUTTON.

LEADING SCORE 28.0.

HER SCORE WILL BE GOING DOWN IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

LOVELY.

GOOD BOY.

VERY GOOD BUBBY.

THE CROWD REALLY APPRECIATED THAT.

>> IT IS, YOU KNOW, SHE IS TRULY COMING IN EXPECTING TO BE ABLE TO PUT DOWN A REALLY GOOD TEST.

WHEN YOU COME DOWN THE HALT AND IT FEELS SO GREAT, JUSTY ARELIEF TO BE WHERE SHE ALWAYS SHOULD BE WHICH IS RIGHT UP AT THE TOP ACTUALLY EXECUTING AND GETTING IT DONE.

>> REALLY, REALLY PLEASED FOR HER.

GREAT SLOW-MO WORK AND WE SEE HIM IN THE WALK WHICH HE STAYED VERY GOOD, VERY CALM, VERY RELAXED.

AND ALL THESE MARKS, YOU KNOW, THE CUMULATIVELY, THEY REALLY RACK UP AND IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, IT'S VERY HARD TO BECAUSE THE FIELD IS FIERCE, IT'S VERY HARD TO CLAW THOSE MARKS BACK.

THEY'RE GOING TO SEE THE FLYING CHANGE, I THINK FROM THIS HALF PASS WHICH WAS A LOVELY FLYING CHANGE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT.

AND THE SCORE IS COMING IN FOR GREAT BRITAIN'S BUBBY UPTON AND COLA.

THE LEAD IS 28.0 AND THE JUDGES MARKS IT IS 201.5, 201.

THAT GIVES BUBBY UPTON THE SCORE OF 26.7 GOING INTO THE LEAD.

>> SUPER, SUPER PLEASED WITH THAT TEST.

>> THERE ARE TEARS OF JOY FROM HER TEAM.

JUST AMAZING.

THERE IS RACHEL, HER MOTHER IN THE OLIVE GREEN JACKET.

THEY'RE A LOVELY FAMILY, IAN WOOD WHO HELPS A NUMBER OF THE BRITISH TEAM, BRITISH RIDERS.

>> YOU CAN SEE THE STEWARTS WALKING DOWN WITH HER DOWN TO THE FINAL CHECK.

THEY'LL MAKE SURE ALL THE EQUIPMENT IS FITTING WELL AND LEGAL, WHICH THEY'VE ALREADY DONE A FEW TIMES TODAY BUT THEY'LL JUST TRIPLE CHECK MAKING SURE THE HORSE'S WELFARE IS PARAMOUNT.

IT'S A LOVELY EXPRESSION THERE, JUST THRILLED FOR HER TO HAVE COME AND EXECUTED A TEST LIKE THAT.

AS WE MOVE INTO OUR SECOND RIDER OF DAY 2.

>> THIS IS TIANA COUDRAY.

CANCARAS GIRL, THE SAM DIRE NARU OWNED BY TIANA AND ALSO BY SPECIAL LIMITED.

FABULOUS MARE AND TIANA VERY GOOD IN THE SADDLE.

SHE HAS BEEN BASED OVER IN THE U.K. SHE IS A VERY GOOD GIRL IN THE DRESSAGE.

SHE IS A FORMER OLYMPIC RIDER.

HE RODE IN LONDON IN 2012 WITH RING WOOD IMAGINESTER.

CANCARAS GIRL HAS BEEN IN GOOD FORM.

THEY RAN IN THE 5 STAR AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GREER FINISHING INSIDE THE TOP 25.

CAPITALIZING ON THEIR SLIGHTLY DISAPPOINTING RUN AT BURLEY THE PREVIOUS AWE AUTUMN BUT REALLY DID SET WHEN SHE WENT SO WELL AT THE BADMINTON TRIALS SPONSORED BY MARS, TITLE SPONSORS HERE.

AND THEN WENT ON TO BELGIUM AND FINALLY SHE WAS INSIDE THE TOP 20 THERE IN THE 4 STAR SHORT.

>> A QUESTION ASKED A LOT WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY FANTASTIC EVENTS IN EUROPE, WHY COME HERE?

THIS VENUE IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE.

AND THE FACT THAT THESE GUYS HAVE PUT THEIR HORSES ON PLANES, COME BACK OVER HERE TO COMPETE AGAINST A SMALL BUT MIGHTY FEW, AGAINST ONE OF IAN'S, WELL, IT WILL BE HIS LAST COURSE DESIGN AT THE 5 STAR LEVEL IS A BEAUTIFUL TRACK.

NICE TO SEE TIANA BACK IN THIS BIG STAGE AND BACK IN THE STATES.

>> IT REALLY IS.

SHE IS A LOVELY MARE.

SHE HAS A GOOD BRAIN.

SHE IS AN OUT AND OUT TRYER ON THE CROSS COUNTRY AS WELL BUT SHE REALLY TRIES IN THE DRESSAGE.

>> YEAH, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY GETTING NICER AND NICER.

SEE HAD A WONDERFUL ESPECIALLY TRANS, A LITTLE TIGHTNESS IN THE NECK IN THE BEGINNING MOVES AND NOW SHE IS STARTING TO SOFTEN UP.

THERE IS A LOT GOING ON HERE.

A VERY TIGHT INTIMATE SPACE.

PLACES LIKE KENTUCKY, IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE OUT THERE ALONE, THE CROWDS AND EVERYTHING ARE FAR AWAY.

AND THIS HAS A VERY WARM, BUT ALMOST CLAUSTROPHOBIC AT TIMES FEELING TO IT, THE CROSS COUNTRY JUMPS ARE HERE, THE RACETRACK IS CIRCLE LING AROUND.

THE SPONSORS TENTS.

A LOT TO LOOK AT.

THESE HORSES HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL ABOUT THE JOB WHICH CANCARAS GIRL LOOKS TO BE.

SO WONDERFUL TO SEE SOME NICE WALKS AGAIN, LIKE I SAID EARLIER, WE SAW SOME TENSION CREEPING IN.

SO TO SEE THE WALKS ON DISPLAY, IT REALLY SHOWS THE HON EVIDENT TRUTH OF HOW-- HONEST TRUTH OF HOW THE HORSE IS FEELING.

>> IT REALLY DOES.

JUST SNEAKING THAT FIFTH STEP IN THE HORSES JUST LOOK SO FIT DON'T THEY?

>> THEY REALLY DO.

PRETTY MUCH WILL BE THE LAST EVENT FOR MANY OF THESE HORSES OF THE 2024 CALENDAR.

THE NEXT CHANGE, THE FIRST ONE CLEAN.

AGAIN, HITS THE SECOND ONE REALLY NICELY AND I THINK TIANA IS DOING A REALLY NICE JOB.

SHE IS LOOKING FOR THE QUALITY RIDING THE HORSE MORE FORWARD TO GET THE CLARITY AND THE STEPS.

THE CHANGES ARE VERY CONFIRMED AND REALLY NICE.

AT TIMES THE CANTER CAN LOSE A LITTLE BIT OF RHYTHM THROUGH THE TURN BUT TIANA KNOWS THAT AND KEEPS THE STEP UP, KEEPS RIDING POSITIVELY.

THE MARE IS SO POLITE ON THE END EFFORT REIN, ALMOST LIKE AN OPEN HAND, ENCOURAGING HER TO TAKE THE BIT, WE HAVE THE STRETCHY CIRCLE HERE WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT TOUGH FOR THESE HORSES AT TIMES WHEN THEY GET SO UP AND THEY'RE READY TO DO THE JOB AND MARYLAND PANE SAID IT VERY WELL, THE RIDERS ARE GOING TO PRACTICE WHAT WE PUT IN THE TEST.

THEY PUT THE STRETCHY CIRCLE IN THE TEST TO MAKE SURE THAT RELAXATION CONTINUES TO BE TRAINED INTO THE HORSES THROUGH THE LEVELS.

>> ALL VERY GOOD CHANGES.

>> AND REALLY, THREE, DON'T YOU THINK, LIKE IT'S A LITTLE OPEN AND FREE AND SHE IS THAT CONFIDENT THAT THE CHANGES ARE GOING TO BE THERE.

>> A LOVELY FINISH FOR TIANA, SHE IS DELIGHTED.

IT'S SO LOVELY TO SEE IT'S A MASSIVE JOURNEY TODAY TO GET TO EVEN TO GET THEM OFF OF THE TRUCK AT A 5 STAR.

YOU KNOW, THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN PARTNERS FOR A LONG TIME.

SHE IS WAVING TO HER FAMILY AND TO GET THEM HERE AND FOR THE SIX OR SEVEN MINUTES IN THE DRESSAGE ARENA FOR THEM TO BEHAVE, TO GO NICELY AND WELL, IT'S ALL YOU CAN HOPE FOR.

AND SHE REALLY HAD-- AND WHAT BETTER WEATHER.

WE'VE GOT SKY BLUE SKY, SUN IS SHINING, 68°.

FABULOUS AND TO GO OUT THERE, IN YOUR FINERY, THE HORSES TO GO WELL, YOU CAN'T ASK FOR MORE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

AND I THINK SOME OF THE LATERAL WORK WAS THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR ME, BECAUSE IT WAS SMOOTH, FREE AND OPEN AND JUST A REALLY PLEASANT TEST TO WATCH.

I THINK THE HARMONY SCORES THERE SHOULD BE QUITE HIGH.

>> IT SHOULD BE.

IT'S NOT QUITE GOING TO HIT THE SUB 30, BUT IT IS A VERY GOOD SCORE OF 31.9, 180, 179, 129,-- 192 FROM THE JUDGES.

ON 192 GIVES HER 31.9 AND WILL GO INTO SIXTH PLACE.

SO TWO GONE.

10 TO GO.

THIS IS ONE WE HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.

BARELY MISSED OUT ON PARIS BUT FORTUNATELY FOR US WE GET TO SEE HER HERE.

TAMMY HAS HAD TWO HORSES IN THE 3 STAR.

WENT INTO THE LAST HORSE LOOKING FOR THE WIN, UNCHARACTERISTIC MISTAKE THAT KEPT HER RIGHT OFF THE TOP SO I REALLY THINK SHE IS NOW COMING IN HERE TO REALLY LAY DOWN A TOP SCORE.

>> SHE IS HUNGRY LIKE A WOLF.

(HOWELL-- HOWLING).

>> TAMRA SMITH AND MAI BAUM WON KENTUCKY LAST YEAR.

IT SEEMS LONGER THAN THAT BUT IT WAS ONLY LAST YEAR.

THEY HAVE HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE TOP 5.

THEY FINISHED WITH AN AMAZING WIN JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO IN THE 4 STAR SHORT, THIRD AS WELL, BUT THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HORSE IN THE DRESSAGE.

NOW 128 YEARS OLD.

I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE HIS LAST HURRAH AS WELL.

TAMMY SMITH, MAI BAUM, THE 18-YEAR-OLD BY...

THE DAMSIRE IS RIKA.

WHO BRED THIS HORSE.

>> IT'S SUCH AN IMPRESSIVE PARTNERSHIP.

AND WE ARE SO FORTUNATE TO BE HERE WITNESSING WHAT WILL BE THIS HORSE'S LAST 5 STAR.

SO A BEAUTIFUL ENTRANCE THERE.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE QUALITY IN THE SMALL FIELD IS SO HIGH.

SHE CANNOT REST ON HER LAURELS.

SHE HAS GOT TO GO OUT THERE AND REALLY DELIVER ACROSS THE BOARD, A TOP NOTCH TEST.

IF A PAIR CAN DO IT, IT'S THIS ONE.

HERE WE TALKED ABOUT IT YESTERDAY.

DO YOU HOLD BACK A LITTLE BIT IN THAT FIRST MEDIUM SO THE EXTENSION REALLY SHOWS OFF OR DO YOU JUST GO FOR BOTH OF THEM?

>> WELL, KNOWING TAMMY SHE WILL GO FOR BOTH.

>> YES.

>> SHE IS ALREADY CREEPING TOWARDS A SUB 20.

WELL, YOU KNOW THE THING WITH THIS PARTNERSHIP AND HORSE, THE HORSE HAS GOT THE MOVES DIALED IN.

WE TALK ABOUT TRICKS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT WITH YOUR HALF PASSES, CHANGES, LENGTHENING AND SO SHE CAN FOCUS ON SHOWING OFF THE TOP LEVEL OF THAT, NOT JUST SURVIVING THE MOVEMENT.

BUT SHOWING IT AT ITS TOP, AT ITS BEST.

HERE WE GO AS SHE FLIES ACROSS THIS DIAGONAL.

MANAGING THE BALANCE, SHE DOES A SUPER JOB WITH ALLOWING THE FLEE DOM TO COME THROUGH, BUT NOT LETTING IT OUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S CAPTURING AND SHAPING THE ENERGY IN A WAY THAT STAYS IN BALANCE.

>> THE 5 STAR RUNS HAVE BEEN SUPER IMPRESSIVE.

SHE HAS A 21.8 AT THE 5 STAR KENTUCKY BACK IN 2021.

THEN, OF COURSE WITH HER WONDERFUL WIN, BUT A 24.2 AT KENTUCKY WHEN SHE WON THE 5 STAR LAST YEAR.

ADD BADMINTON, SHE SCORED A 25.

HE IS SO CONSISTENT THIS HORSE.

SHE HAS HAD-- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT EXPRESSION IS, NOT HAD THE BEST LUCK.

SHE WAS RESERVED FOR TOKYO.

SHE WAS RESERVED.

AND JUST MISSED OUT ON PARIS.

>> I MEAN JUST REALLY BAD TIMING.

SO SHE HAD HAD A LIGHT SEASON RUNNING UP TO THIS.

SHE JUST RAN A HORSE FROM 2023, BUT AGAIN, WE HEARD A LOT OF THAT EVEN WHEN I WAS LISTENING TO THE LIVE STREAM EARLY, THOSE COMPETITIONS OFTEN WHEN THE HORSES ARE SENIOR, THEY DO RUN ONE AND GO TO THEIR CHAMPIONSHIPS.

THEY DON'T NEED THE EXCESS RUNS.

THEY DON'T NEED THE WEAR AND TEAR AND TAMMY FELT VERY CONFIDENT COMING OUT HERE THAT SHE WAS REPRESENTED PREPPED, READY FOR THE CALL UP TO PARIS BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE TIMING DID NOT LINE UP.

SO HERE SHE IS.

THE WALK WORK IS NOT THE BEST WALK WORK WE'VE SEEN FROM MAI BAUM.

BUT THE CANTERS AND THE CHANGES WILL NOPEFULLY BRING THAT SCORE BACK DOWN >> HER YEAR DID GET SLIGHTLY BETTER THIS YEAR BECAUSE SHE WAS DESPERATE TO MEET ME.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

ALMOST SNUCK THAT CHANGE UP ON US THERE.

>> YEAH SHE IS MAKING SURE THE SHOULDER GETS SOME LIFT.

I THINK SHE IS GOING TO WANT SOME EXPRESSION IN THE CHANGE.

SHE IS CONFIDENT SHE CAN GET THE CHANGE, THE JUMP THROUGH, THE BIG MARKS.

HERE WE GO.

SO CLOSE.

SO CLOSE .1 SEPARATING.

COLA, BUBBY UPTON AND MAI BAUM.

ANOTHER VERY GOOD CHANGE.

>> SHE HAS GONE HEAD BY .1 NOW.

WATCH THIS HORSE FLY DOWN THE LONG SIDE.

AND THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, THE GEAR CHANGES, RIGHT?

THAT'S WHY THIS HORSE IS SO FAST ACROSS THE COUNTRY BECAUSE HE CAN EASILY ACCELERATE, EASILY COME BACK AND SOME OF THE LOWER LEVELS MAYBE YOU NEED ONE OR TWO GEARS BUT ONCE YOU GET TO THIS TOP LEVEL, YOU NEED SIX.

SO THE QUESTIONS THAT IAN IS ASKED OUT THERE, ALMOST A 4 STAR.

THOSE ARE THE GEARS YOU NEED AND WE CAN SEE THE QUALITY OF HORSES AND EASE OF THE TRANSITIONS BACK AND FORDS.

ONE CHANGE LEFT TO GO.

NOT LEAVING ANYTHING TO CHANCE.

>> SHE IS NOT.

SHE HAS GONE AHEAD.

>> AND WE KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

COMES IN SO STRONG, THE SCORES ARE GOING HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH WHAT IS GOING ON HERE TO KEEP ON TOP OF THE CHANGES.

NAILED IT.

[ APPLAUSE ] MAI BAUM, 18 YEARS YOUNG, BELYING HIS YEARS.

HE IS SUCH A SPECIAL HORSE.

[ APPLAUSE ] AND WHEN YOU GOT AN NICHE, YOU'VE GOT A NICHE.

HE IS SUCH A COOL CUSTOMER.

WARE WAITING FOR THAT SCORE.

THERE IT IS.

IT'S ON YOUR SCREEN, 25.3.

HAVE YOU JUST SEEN IT.

BEFORE WE SEE HER FULL RESULTS.

A FEW MOMENTS AGO WITH BUBBY UPTON.

>> BEAUTIFUL TEST FOR YOU GUYS AND GOING IN THERE STORMING INTO THE LEAD, HOW DID IT FEEL?

>> YEAH, HE WAS SUCH A GOOD BOY, I KNEW HIM INSIDE OUT, HAVE HIM FOR EIGHT OR NINE YEARS NOW, AND YEAH, HE IS A HORSE THAT I OWE EVERYTHING TO, DEFINITELY.

MY HORSE OF A LIFETIME.

SO IT FEELS KIND OF BEYOND SPECIAL TO BE HERE, TO BE HONEST.

WE'VE HAD A TURBULENT PAST YEAR ALSO.

SO IT JUST MAKES IT EVEN MORE SPECIAL AND I'M SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE A HORSE LIKE HIM.

>> YOU HAVE TRAVELED A LONG WAY TO BE HERE AT THE MARYLAND 5 STAR, WHY THIS VENUE, WHY THIS SHOW.

>> AFTER BADMINTON, I KIND OF CREATED A PLAN IN MY HEAD.

I THOUGHT HE HAS DONE PURRLEY AND PEARL AND INCREDIBLE AT BOTH.

IF THERE WAS EVER THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO MARYLAND, I THOUGHT I WOULD DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE.

SO DID QUITE A LOT OF PHONE CALLS, QUITE A LOT OF HUSTLING AND THEN ALL THANKS TO BROWN ADVISORY AND HOTON INSURANCE BROKERS, I'M HERE, GRATEFUL TO THEM AND AMAZING TO BE HERE.

>> WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU.

EXCITED TO WATCH YOU THE REST OF THE WEEK.

WELL ON YOUR WAY GOING INTO THE LEAD.

FIRST TO SEE HERE TODAY.

BACK TO YOU GUYS IN THE BOOTH FOR MORE ACTION.

>> FOR THERE IS TAMMY SMITH.

HER SCORE 209.5, 199, 196.5 GOES INTO 25.3.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY STRONG CONTENDERS STILL TO COME.

FORMER WORLD NUMBER 1.

Mr. OLIVER TOWNEND.

>> AND WHAT IS SO IMPRESSIVE TO SEE, THESE GUYS KNOW EACH OTHER.

THEY FOLLOW EACH OTHER.

THEY KNOW THE HORSES.

HE MIGHT NOT KNOW-- I'M SURE THAT TAMMY WENT INTO THE LEAD BUT HE KNOWS HE CANNOT LEAVE ANYTHING TO CHANCE.

THE SAME THING WE SAW WHEN TAMMY WENT INTO THE ARENA.

THERE WAS NOT ONE MOVE.

SHE IS NOT PREPARING FOR AN 8, 9 OR 10.

>> AND BALLAGHMOR CLASS IS PHENOMENAL AND OLIVER, AGAIN, WILL NOT LEAVE A STONE UNTURNED.

BALLAGHMOR CLASS 17 YEARS OF AGE, OWNED BY ANGELA HIS LOT AND VAL RYAN WHO HAVE BEEN AMAZING SUPPORTERS.

AND THIS MAN HAS WON SO MANY EVENTS.

THIS HORSE HAS WON THREE 5 STARS IN HIS CAREER.

HE WAS HERE, THIRD LAST YEAR.

HE HAS BEEN THIRD.

HE WAS THIRD IN 22.

HE WAS SECOND IN 2021.

HE WAS HUNGRY FOR A WIN.

>> IT HAS BEEN AMAZING THE ENTRANCE OF OUR FIRST FOUR HORSES HAVE JUST BEEN INCREDIBLE.

SO STRAIGHT, SO SQUARE, SO PROFESSIONAL AND I LOVE YOU STAND THERE FOR A SECOND, GIVES EVERYBODY A SECOND TO SAY OKAY, LET'S SEE WHAT IS NEXT AND JUST REALLY BEAUTIFUL.

>> TEAM GOLD MEDALIST FROM THE TOKYO OLYMPIC GAMES WITH THIS HORSE BACK IN 2021.

HE HAS BEEN A TEAM GOLD MEDALIST AT EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS ON THREE OCCASIONS AND STRUGGLED.

AND HE HAS BEEN A TEAM SILVER MEDALIST BACK IN 2019.

HE HAS BEEN A STALWART OF THE EVENTING WORLD FOR SUCH A LONG TIME.

>> THESE RIDERS, IT'S SO INTERESTING TO WATCH THEIR LINES AND TO SEE EXACTLY WHERE THE TRACK IS.

I MEAN THE STRAIGHTNESS, THE ACCURACY, NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE TO PERFORM AT A LEVEL SHOWING OFF THE QUALITY AND THE RIDABILITY OF THE HORSE, THEY'VE GOT TO BE ACCURATE.

THEY'VE GOT TO BE ON THEIR LINES, HAVE THE EIGHT METERS OR NOT 8.5 METERS.

THEY'RE 8 METERS.

>> OLIVER, HE IS A SEVEN-TIME 5 STAR WINNER.

HE, OF COURSE, WAS THE BURLEY CHAMPION LAST YEAR WITH THIS HORSE.

WITH BALLAGHMOR CLASS AND HE HAS BEEN PRETTY WRECKED THIS SEASON.

HE HAD A VERY NASTY FALL, BROKE HIS COLLAR BONE.

IT WAS OPERATED ON JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE BURLEY HORSE AND THEN TOOK A TUMBLE ON THE CROSS COUNTRY AND THEN LANDED ON THAT SHOULDER AGAIN.

IT WAS ONLY A FEW WEEKS AGO.

THESE RIDERS ARE NOTHING BUT TOUGH.

EYE OF THE TIGER PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND.

RIDERS ARE CHASING THEIR OWN MUSIC.

>> YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT AT THE TOP, IT'S GOING TO BE SO CLOSE.

>> YEAH YOU KNOW, WE ARE WITH OUR YOUNGER HORSES EARLIER, YOU SEE SOME MISTAKES, YOU ARE SEEING SOME THINGS THAT ARE REALLY INFLUENCING THE SCORE.

AT THIS LEVEL WITH THESE GUYS, KNOCK ON WOOD, YOU ARE NOT REALLY GOING SEE THOSE MISTAKES.

YOU ARE JUST GOING HAVE A LEVEL OF SUBJECTIVE QUALITY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT AND... >> OH THOMAS.

>> A LITTLE CROUCHY TIGER THERE.

BUT AGAIN, YOU SEE REALLY QUALITY OUT TO THE REIN, REALLY EXECUTING THE MOVEMENTS WELL.

MAYBE NOT AS SUPPLE AND FLUID AS MAI BAUM AND THAT MIGHT BE WHY WE ARE SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF THE HIGHER MARKS HERE.

IF I WAS GOING TO BE SUPER PICKY BEAUTIFUL CHANGE SETTING UP FOR THE SECOND CHANGE.

>> REALLY NICE, HE MOVED UP TO THAT.

>> YOU SAW HIM START TO DROP A LITTLE BIT LOW IN THE BALANCE AND AS SOON AS OLIVER FELT THAT, HE ENGAGED THE HIND END, PICKED HIM UP AND HAD TO GET INTO BETTER BALANCE.

I NEED A 9.

AGAIN, NICE CLEAN CHANGE.

HE WILL GALLUP DOWN HERE-- GOL OPEN AROUND HERE, SIT, CHANGING THOSE GEARS.

>> AND THAT'S WHERE YOU KNOW GOING IN WHERE YOU ARE GOING FOR YOUR 10.

YOU SAID IT EARLIER, THERE ARE PLACES YOU HAVE TO MANAGE AND WHERE HAVE YOU TO ATTACK AND THAT'S WHERE YOU GO FOR YOUR BIG, BIG NUMBERS AND THAT WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXTENSION DOWN THE LONG SIDE.

THEN IT'S QUITE A DIFFICULT MOVE TO HAVE TO GO TO THAT AND THEN TO GO YOUR STRETCHY CANTER AND PICK IT BACK UP.

GET ENGAGED AND ORGANIZED FOR THE LAST LINE CHANGE.

BUT THAT'S WHY FIGHTS 5 STAR.

IF IT WAS EASY, EVERYBODY WOULD DO IT.

>> CERTAINLY WOULD.

OLIVER HAS MADE IT LOOK VERY EASY INDEED.

>> SO HE IS, IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSE BECAUSE THE LAST PORTION OF THIS TEST HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL.

>> IT REALLY HAS.

THE SCORES ARE ABOUT TO DISAPPEAR OFF YOUR SCREEN.

[ APPLAUSE ] >> I THINK HE JUST REALIZED-- I SAW THE EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE.

BUT THAT'S WHAT DO YOU.

YOU GO INTO THAT ARENA YOUR WORLD GETS SMALL.

ALL BUSINESS AND THEN HE FINISHED, LOOKS UP AND REALIZED HE IS IN MARYLAND.

>> HE AS I SHOWMAN AS WELL.

OLIVER, HE IS QUITE OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR BEING QUITE A HARD TASK MASTER BUT YOU KNOW, HE LOVES HIS HORSES.

HE HAS GIVEN THIS A SUPER RIDE IN THE DRESSAGE, GETS A LOVELY BIG PAT, STILL PATTING ON THE WAY OUT.

WAVING TO THE CROWDS.

AND I THINK WE ARE GOING TO SEE A PRETTY GOOD SCORE.

I MEAN WE ARE GOING TO BE SUB 30.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

ABSOLUTELY.

I MEAN NOW IT'S JUST MARGINS, RIGHT.

IT'S JUST COMES DOWN TO PERSONAL PREFERENCE AT TIMES, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE CLOSE TO OUR LEADER IF NOT OUR LEADER BUT AGAIN THAT FABULOUS EXTENSION DOWN THE LONG SIDE, JUST SO BOLD, SO ATTACKING AND JUST COMES RIGHT BACK ON A DIME AND THEN LENGTHENS THE REIN AND DOWN TO THE STRETCHY CANTER.

>> THE SCORE IS IN FOR OLIVER TOWNEND AND BALLAGHMOR CLASS, 26.5, 201, 194.5, 19 THE-- 199.5 AND 26.5.

OLIVER TOWNEND, GREAT BRITAIN, BALLAGHMOR CLASS GO INTO SECOND 25.3 LEADS, 26.5 SECOND.

THAT'S GREAT BRITAIN OLIVER TOWNEND.

THEN IT IS GREAT BRITAIN'S PUBLICKY UPTON 26.7 TO .2 BEHIND OLIVER WITH COLA.

IT IS USA 1, GREAT BRITAIN 2, 3, AND USA COSBY GREEN OVERNIGHT LEADER FROM YESTERDAY'S DRESSAGE WITH HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS 4.

>> AND YOU KNOW, TOMORROW'S TEST IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE.

THE TEST OF THE CROSS COUNTRY, RIGHT, IT'S A FITNESS TEST.

IT'S HUGE, IT'S BIG, BOLD.

SO THESE SCORES UP AT THE TOP, THEY'RE GOING TO CHANGE.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT TO KEEP THOSE BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE AN EPIC DAY TOMORROW.

BUT STILL A BIT MORE DRESSAGE TO COME TODAY AS JOE MEYER ENTERS THE ARENA ON ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL GRAY.

>> IT IS JOE MEYER WITH HARBIN.

ONE GRAY FOLLOWS ANOTHER.

HARBIN IS A VERY GOOD HORSE IN THE DRESSAGE AS WELL.

14-YEAR-OLD, RAINBOW CITY THE DAM, RAINBOW QUEST THE DAMSIRE YOU DON'T NORMALLY SEE A THOROUGHBRED THAT LOT TOES LIKE THAT.

>> STARTS THE BREEDERS, JOE OWNS ALONG WITH WIFE RUTH.

GUY MEYER, JOE MEYER AND THERESA HAVE BEEN OUT AND OUT SUPPORTER OF JOE'S FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE HIM BACK AT THE TOP LEVEL AND HARBIN HAS BEEN A REALLY GOOD CAMPAIGNER FOR HIM.

>> IT HAS BEEN SO FUN TO WATCH JOE RIDE THIS HORSE.

THEY JUST FIT HAND AND GLOVE.

HE SAID HE REMINDS HIM OF HIS FORMER SFAR CAMPAIGNER, SNIP, ANOTHER 50Y GRAY.

>> THIS IS THERE THE 5 STAR DEBUT, FIRST 5 STAR FOR THE DEBUT.

FINISHED HERE AT THE 3 STAR FIFTH EARLIER IN THE YEAR.

TONS OF MOVEMENT THIS HORSE.

HE IS A THOROUGHBRED.

HE CAN GET HOT SO A LOT OF JOE'S JOB IS TO, AGAIN HARNESS AND SHAPE THAT ENERGY INTO A WAY THAT'S POSITIVE AND FORWARD AND FLUID AND KEEPING HIM UP AND OUT SO THE CONTACT IS A LITTLE HORSE AND THIS SO FAR IS LOOKING REALLY, REALLY NICE AND HE HOPS RIGHT INTO THE CANTER.

WE SAW THAT A LITTLES BIT YESTERDAY AS YOU MOVE INTO THE HALF PASS, SOMETIMES THEY CAN GET CONFUSED WITH THE CANTER STEP.

YOU SAW IT AGAIN, LESS OF A MISTAKE, MORE OF A MISCOMMUNICATION.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT WILL BRING THE SCORE DOWN.

>> AND THE SNEEZING IS A LITTLE BIT OF A SIGN THAT IT CAN BE A SIGN OF THE THEM BEING RELAXED.

IN THIS CASE I THINK WE ARE JUST SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF TENSION FROM HARBIN.

AS YOU SAID THOROUGHBRED HE IS HOPPING.

HE HAS A LOT.

AND HE WANTS TO GO AGAIN AND BREAKS INTO THE CANTER UNFORTUNATELY.

JOE IS GOING TO OFFER A CHANGE.

HE IS OFFERING A LOT OF ANSWERS AND I THINK THAT'S HOW WE THINK ABOUT IT SOMETIMES, IT'S NOT THAT THEY'RE DOING WRONG THING, THEY'RE JUST ANSWERING WITH FIVE ANSWERS INSTEAD OF ONE.

BUT YOU CAN SEE THE QUALITY.

LIKE I SAID, YOU RARELY SEE A THOROUGHBRED WITH A TROT LIKE THIS.

>> VERY RARELY.

>> IT'S JUST MANAGING THAT POWER A LONG WAY ACROSS THE BROKEN DIAGONAL.

>> EXTENDED FIRST FROM M TO E TO K TO F BEING THE MEDIUM WALK.

>> JOE DOING A NICE JOB.

YOU CAN SEE THE FLEXIBILITY IN JOE'S ARMS.

SOFT AND LIGHT AND HERE IS WHERE YOU HAVE A NICE CONNECTION ON THE REIN BUT THE SOFTNESS AND SUPPLENESS COMES THROUGH THE ELBOW AND SHORTENING UP THE WALK HERE, HE IS TRYING TO KEEP THE FLOW, TRYING TO KEEP HIM CALM WHILE THINKING FORWARD.

DOING A REALLY MASTERFUL JOB BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS TO GET QUITE LIGHT OFF THE FLOOR HERE.

ACTUALLY NICE IN THE TEST BECAUSE INSTEAD OF GOING IMMEDIATELY INTO THE CANTER, THEY GO WALK, HALT, BACK UP, SO IN THIS TIME, EVEN IN THE RIDER'S MIND, YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT A HALT, NOT A CANTER.

JUST NOT GOING TO STAND STILL AND VERY WISELY TAKES WHAT HE GIVES, THE BACKUP AND HEADS OFF INTO THE CANTER.

YOU GET TO GO UP THE GEARS FIRST AND BRIT BACK DOWN.

WE SAW THAT WITH TAMMY'S TEST.

YOU KNOW, THE HORSES ALMOST SNEAK THAT IN.

THEY KNOW IT'S COMING.

SUPPLE ON THE LEFT SIDE HERE, HARD TO TELL FROM OUR ANGLE THE CLARITY AND IT COMES THROUGH AGAIN.

THE HORSE IS BALANCED.

HE HAS HIS CHANGES.

SO FAR THAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN FANTASTIC THROUGH OUR EVENT.

I MEAN WATCHING ITSELF OLYMPICS, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WATCHED THEM, I THINK YOU CALLED THEM BUT THERE WERE A LOT OF CHANGES THAT GOT MISSED AND SO FAR, YOU KNOW, IT HAS BEEN IMPRESSIVE WITH THE HORSES THAT CAN VUM INTO ARENA SO FAR, SOME FANTASTIC CHANGES.

>> THE OLYMPICS WAS SO QUICK AS WELL, IT WAS OVER WITHIN A BLINK SOFTLY OVER THE TOP OF THE NECK AND TAKES A BREATH AND I THINK JOE WOULD LIKE TO START FROM THE TOP AGAIN.

HE COMES IN FOR THE LAST CHANGE THAT ONE LATE BEHIND.

HE WAS GETTING IN A FUNNY POSITIONING NOT QUITE LINED UP FOR THE CHANGE TO COME THROUGH.

BUT I THINK JOE HAS DONE A MASTERFUL JOB ON A HORSE THAT IS READY TO JUMP SOME CROSS COUNTRY JUMPS.

[ APPLAUSE ] I KNOW WILL BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN HIM AND HIS HORSE BECAUSE HE IS SUCH A COMPETITOR.

HE IS A LOVELY GUY.

HE IS ONE OF THE NICEST AND HARBIN, AS WE SAW, JUST OFFERED A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH AT TIMES.

>> I NEED LESS.

SOMETIMES HE IS HANDING HIM ALL THE ANSWERS AT ONCE.

>> WE LOOK AT THIS SLOW MOTION.

HE COULD BE A PURE DRESSAGE HORSE.

HE REALLY DOES MOVE VERY, VERY WELL.

DOESN'T JUST MOVE IN FRONT.

HE ACTUALLY USES THOSE HIND LEGS HE IS A REALLY, REALLY NICE HORSE.

BUT SADLY THE BRAIN TAKES OVER AND HE WANTS TO TRY.

HE DOESN'T KNOW HE HAS MADE MISTAKES.

HE IS JUST SAYING, IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?

JUST WAIT.

JUST CALM DOWN.

>> YOU SEE WIFE RUTHY THERE GETTING THE PLAY BY PLAY.

IT'S ALWAYS SO INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT, THE PERSON THAT MEETS YOU GET THE FLOODING OF ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS AT ONCE AND THE TEESM HERE.

>> RICHARD BARRETT, WHO TRAINS JOE, MADE THE TRIP OVER FROM THE U.K. AND THERE IS THE SCORE.

43.7 FOR JEREMIAH AND HARBIN, ALL JUDGES HAD HIM IN 16th PLACE.

THAT'S WHERE HE IS FOR THE TIME BEING.

ONE LEFT TO GO BEFORE THE FIRST BREAK HERE IN THE CC 155 HERE.

PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY AND OUR DRESSAGE SPONSORS WHO HAVE BUILT A BEAUTIFUL JUDGES HUTS.

OF COURSE RIDING HERE ON THE ATWOOD ARENA SURFACE, WHICH IS FOR SALE SO IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED.

>> MAYBE JUST WAIT... >> UNTIL SUNDAY.

>> THIS IS EMA KLUGMAN WHO RAN A REALLY NICE TEST YESTERDAY AND EMA WITH HER LOVELY BRONTE BEACH, SECOND 5 STAR, THEY COMPLETED THEIR FIRST 5 STAR IN KENTUCKY FINISHING JUST OUTSIDE THE TOP 20 EARLIER ON THIS YEAR.

BRONTE BEACH IS A 12-YEAR-OLD BY VERDE, THE SAMSIRE-- THE DAMSIRE SHOGUN.

>> SHE HAS GRADUATED FROM DUKE AND IS PRACTICING LAW.

SO SHE NOT ONLY DOES THAT BUT HAS A HANDFUL OF TOP HORSES HERE.

I MEAN LOOK AT THE SCOPE OF THIS HORSE AND THE POWER.

I MEAN IT'S REALLY, REALLY BEAUTIFUL.

SHE HAS A LOVELY HORSE IN THE 3 STAR WE GOT TO WATCH YESTERDAY AND LIKE YOU SAID, FINISHED KENTUCKY IN THE SPRING QUITE WELL AND A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE FROM THERE TO COME AND CONTEST HER SECOND 5 STAR WITH THIS HORSE AT MARYLAND.

REALLY, REALLY BEAUTIFUL TROT.

NICE CHANGE INTO THE 8-METER CIRCLE.

LOST A SMIDGE OF RHYTHM IN THAT, A SMIDGE OF BALANCE.

AND YOU KNOW, THIS SHOULDER AND RIGHT DOWN THE CENTER LINE, STARING CHRISTINA IN THE FACE.

I GET SO EXCITED WHEN I SEE HORSES LIKE THIS.

I'M PUMPED TO WATCH THEM COME AROUND AND GO INTO THAT LENGTHENING AND SEE WHAT IS POSSIBLE AND AND AGAIN AN UPSTANDING HORSE SPENCER, I USE YOUR WORDS.

REALLY LOVELY SO FAR.

>> REALLY LOVELY AND SHE IS SUB 30.

SHE SCORED A 36.6 AT KENTUCKY ON THE 5 STAR DEBUT.

HOPEFULLY THE CANTER WORK MATCHES THE TROT WORK.

>> VERY IMPRESSIVE.

VERY DIFFERENT FEEL THAN KENTUCKY WOULDN'T YOU 15 I.

>> MUCH MORE OF A IRE PEEN FEEL TO THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR MARYLAND EVENT HOSPITALITY, V.I.P.

AND GRAND STAND SEATING IS VERY CLOSE.

>> SHE IS DOING A SUPER JOB HERE.

THAT CHANGE FROM THE EXTENDED WALK TO THE MEDIUM WALK CAN BE QUITE TRICKY IN ORDER TO KEEP THE RHYTHM, TO KEEP THE BALANCE.

YOU JUST REALLY WANT TO CHANGE THE LENDS OF FRAME.

YOU JUST PICK IT UP AND KEEP THE WALK WALKING AND SHE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB THERE.

YOU CAN SEE-- HUGE WALK AND HE IS QUITE LIGHT ON THE END OF THE REIN AND SOMETIMES THAT CAN BE A, FEEL A LITTLE EMPTY.

YOU ARE NOT SURE WHERE THEY ARE OR WHAT THEY'RE THINKING AND SHE IS REALLY TRUSTING HIM.

IN KENTUCKY THE SCORE WAS HIGHER, SO WE ARE WAITING TO SEE WHERE THAT CAME FROM BUT SO FAR QUITE NICE AS WE MOVE INTO IS THE CHANGES.

NICE.

>> A LITTLE BEHIND.

THERE WAS-- AS SHE CAME ACROSS IN THE HALF PASS, YOU COULD JUST SEE THAT HE WAS CLIMBING AND GETTING A LITTLE BIT TENSE.

HE IS KIND OF DOING THE SAME AGAIN HERE, JUST RUNNING AWAY WITH HER A LITTLE BIT, ANTICIPATING THAT FLYING CHANGE, WHICH, AGAIN, WAS LATE BEHIND SO SHE HAS DROPPED FROM 29 TO 33.5.

>> YEAH, AND THAT'S UNFORTUNATE.

THERE IS A LOT TO ORGANIZE HERE AND YOU CAN SEE THAT.

IN ORDER TO KEEP HIM COMFORTABLE AND HAPPY, SHE HAS TO KEEP HIM A LITTLE OPEN AND SHE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE HIM A LITTLE BIT, ORGANIZE IT AND GET THE STEP TOGETHER IN ORDER TO HELP HIM JUMP THROUGH THE CHANGE IN A CLEAN WAY AND RIGHT NOW THE RIDABILITY AND CANTER ISN'T QUITE THERE.

>> NO.

>> FOR HER TO HELP HIM.

BUT LIKE WE'VE SAID BEFORE, COMING IN AND MAKING SURE THE HORSES STAY COMFORTABLE AND HAPPY SOMETIMES HAS TO TAKE PRIORITY AND AS THEY GROW, AS THEY MATURE, THEY GET MORE RIDEABLE IN THE ARENA BUT YOU CAN SEE THIS HAPPENING HERE.

>> WELL SOMETIMES.

[LAUGHTER] >> EITHER GETS BETTER OR GETS WORSE.

>> COME ON, COME ON.

AND THEN LATE BEHIND AGAIN.

SO THIS IS WHERE I DIDN'T SEE HER TEST IN KENTUCKY BUT THIS IS WHERE SHE WILL HAVE DROPPED DOWN AND IT'S SADLY JUST UNRAVELING A LITTLE BIT TODAY BUT SHE HAS RIDDEN A BEAUTIFUL TEST.

YOU KNOW, SECOND 5 STAR FOR THIS HORSE.

SHE IS MAKING HER MARK, SHE REALLY IS AND BEING AT THE 5 STAR, IT'S JUST BRILLIANT.

IT'S WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF.

SHE IS THRILLED TO BE HERE.

SHE TRIES TOIVE-- SHE TRIES REALLY HARD.

A NICE LITTLE TEAM OF HORSES.

>> A NICE BIG TEAM OF HORSES.

THIS IS A BIG OL' HORSE BUT I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT AND I THINK THERE IS SO MUCH TO LIKE HERE AND THIS HORSE LOOKS LIKE IT IS OFFERING, IT'S TRYING, IT'S A BIG HORSE WITH A BIG STEP.

AND HONESTLY, HE JUST NEEDS TO CALM DOWN A LITTLE BIT SO SHE CAN HELP HIM BUT SHE IS MOVING THE TRAINING IN THAT DIRECTION.

NOT GOOD OR BAD.

JUST ARE WE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND SHE DID A MASTERFUL JOB OF KEEPING HIM HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE AND UNFORTUNATELY THE CHANGES DIDN'T HAPPEN TODAY.

BUT THEY WILL.

>> BUT IT WAS VERY WELL DONE AUSTRALIA EMA CLUBMAN AND BRONTE BEACH, VERY IMPRESSIVE LEADERBOARD USA, GREAT BRITAIN, SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE TWO.

35.6, SO IT IS A SCORE FOR EMA KLUGMAN, 35.6.

THAT WAS AN AMAZING TEST.

SHE BETTERED HER SCORE FROM KENTUCKY.

BUT THAT LADY THERE IS OUR LEADER.

IT IS TAMMY SMITH AND MAI BAUM.

BACK AFTER THE BREAK.

>> OLIVER, AN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR LONG TIME PARTNER AND YOU HAVE COME SHEER A FEW TIMES.

YOU HAVE COME AGAIN THIS YEAR AND WHY TO THIS VENUE AND WHY WITH THIS HORSE?

>> LOOK AT IT.

IT'S A SPECIAL VENUE FAR CECIL COUNTY IN MAJORITY LEADER PUTTING ON A 5 STAR IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR AND ANYBODY THAT PUTS ON SUCH A STANDARD OF AN EVENT WITH SUCH GREAT PRIZE MONEY DESERVES TO SEE BALLAGHMOR CLASS HERE.

>> SPEAKS TO THIS HORSE.

FOR THOSE AROUND THE WORLD, WE'VE GOTTEN TO APPRECIATE HIM OVER THE YEARS, BUT TO YOU, YOU HAVE HAD SO MANY SPECIAL HORSES BUT WHAT DOES THIS ONE MEAN?

>> YEAH, WHAT I CAN I SAY, HE'S IS CRIN EBL.

SORRY.

>> I GOT YOU.

IT'S NOT OFTEN I DO, BUT HAVE YOU COME BACK FOR ONE MORE SECOND WITH ME.

BUT YOU CAN SEE IN THE THE EMOTION ALONE SPEAKS VOLUME.

I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU CRY SO THAT'S A FIRST FOR ME BUT A HORSE LIKE THIS, YOU GET TO TAKE IN ALL THE SMALL MOMENTS AND I THINK WHEN YOU BRING HIM BACK TO THE LEVEL LIKE THIS, YET AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, IT SPEAKS TO THE TEAM BEHIND HIM AND HOW SPECTACULAR IS THAT TEAM TO HAVE A HORSE LIKE THIS STAY AT THE TOP FOR SO LONG.

>> YEAH, WELL DONE TEAM.

YOU ARE THE BEST.

>> THANK YOU, OLIVER AND GOOD LUCK THIS WEEK.

>> OLIVER TOWNEND, YOU MADE ME CRY, THE FOOL.

IT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO THE RIDERS AND SO SPECIAL AND I'VE GOT A BIT TEARY BUT IT'S GREAT TO HEAR FROM HIM.

HE IS SUCH A GREAT GUY AND BALLAGHMOR CLASS HAS BEEN AMAZING.

A.T.I.

PHYSICAL THERAPY, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED REHABILITATIZATION PROVIDER WITH LOCATIONS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES.

NOT ONLY DO THEY MAKE HOUSE CALLS BUT SET UP RIGHT HERE ON SITE AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR TO SUPPORT THE RIDERS.

>> MY NAME IS ROCHELLE WITH A.T.I.

PHYSICAL THERAPY AND.

>> ALLISON, I'M ALSO A.T.I.

OUR PURPOSE HERE IS TO HELP OUR HUMAN ATHLETES BE THEIR BEST THIS WEEKEND, SO WHATEVER WAY WE CAN HELP YOU GUYS MOVE BETTERED, HAVE A LITTLE LESS PAIN, THAT'S OUR GOAL.

THIS MORNING I SAW A PATIENT WITH SOME SHOULDER PAIN SO WE DID SOME JOINT MOBILIZATIONS AND SOFT TISSUE WORK TO CALM DOWN THE PAIN LEVELS, WHICH MIGHT INCLUDE SOME INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE LEVELLATION.

CUPPING, TAPING AS WELL TO HELP EITHER STRAP DOWN AND LET THE JOINT KIND OF STABILIZE OR FOR SOME PAIN RELIEF.

ALSO A GOOD IDEA TO COME TO US JUST BEFORE YOUR EVENT, STRETCH OUT, SHOW SOME PERSONALIZED ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE WARM AND READY FOR RIDING.

>> WE ARE RIGHT NEXT TO THE RIDER ZONE SO STOP BY, WE CAN GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE, GET A SNACK BUT RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

WE'VE HAD A LOT OF LAUGHS IN THE TENT AND A LOT OF BIG NAMES COMING IN.

>> WE HEARD AN OLYMPIAN WENT BY EARLIER.

IT WAS EXCITING.

>> A BIG DEAL.

>> WELL, IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO HAVE A BIG TEAM SUPPORTING THE RIDERS.

IT IS TEAMWORK.

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE HORSES AND THE RIDERS.

THERE IS OUR NEXT GO, IT IS TIM PRICE AND FALCO.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A SHORT BREAK AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

TOMORROW IS ALL ABOUT IAN STARK'S LAST HURRAH, THE CROSS COUNTRY COURSE IS SET.

WE ARE GOING TO BE DIVING IN EVERY CORNER OF THIS STATE BECAUSE THERE ARE 60 SOMETHING CAMERAS.

>> AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF CAMERAS OUT THERE.

12 I THINK JUST FOR THE STREAMING AND I THINK 50 OUT THERE JUST MAKING SURE THAT THE CORNERS ARE GETTING JUMPED, KEEPING THE WELFARE AND SAFETY ALL IN TUNE.

>> 18 CAMERAS FOR THE LIVE STREAM.

AND 50 ADDITIONAL.

I MEAN IT IS INCREDIBLE.

HE HAS BUILT A TRACK THAT'S GOING TO TEST THEM AND IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THAT LITTLE INSIGHT THAT WE WILL BE BRINGING AWM OF THE LIVE COVERAGE TORM FROM THE EVERY SINGLE.

>> BECAUSE WE HAVE EVERY ANGLE.

>> WE ARE BACK AND JENNY RIDING TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM AND SHE IS RIDING THE 14-YEAR-OLD BY NATIONAL ANTHEM.

BREEDER AND OWNER HOME BREAD TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM, NINA GARDENER.

>> THIS HORSE A GRADUATE OF THE YOUNG HORSE PROGRAM.

SO HE HAS BEEN ON THIS TRAJECTORY, 5 STAR TRAJECTORY SINCE FOUR-YEAR-OLD AND NO BETTER LADY IN THE TACK THAN JENNY.

SHE WAS 16th AT KENTUCKY.

SHE WAS HERE LAST YEAR.

UNFORTUNATELY HAD A FALL IN THE CROSS COUNTRY IN THE 3 STAR IN THE MORNING AND HAD TO WITHDRAW.

GRANDPAA AS WE CALL HIM IN THE BARN, EXCITED TO SEE HER OUT WITH HIM AND SO PLEASED FOR TIM AND NINA GARDENER.

I THINK IT'S BEEN SO EXCITING.

THIS IS A THOROUGHBRED HORSE AND I THINK ALL OF US GOT A LITTLE TEARY EYED WITH HER POST CROSS COUNTRY INTERVIEW AT KENTUCKY WHERE SHE WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, SO IMPRESSED WITH THIS HORSE SAYING, NO ONE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS BUT HE IS ALL HEART AND HE JUST KEEPS SHOWING UP TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND AS DOES JENNY.

I THINK SHE GOT HER 10,000 HOURS IN BY THE TIME SHE WAS 20 SO NOW FOR HER TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT STRING OF HORSES AT THE TOP LEVEL OF THE SPORT IS REALLY EXCITING.

>> THIS IS HER SECOND STAP AT THE 5 STAR, UNABLE TO RUN LAST YEAR.

IN 2022 SHE HAD A GOOD SPIN AROUND THE 5 STAR FINISHING JUST OUTSIDE THE TOP 15.

AND HER LAST RUN WAS WITH THIS HORSE AT PLANTATION WHERE SHE FINISHED 7th IN THE 4 STAR.

THAT PREP RUN BACK A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HE, A LITTLE BIT LIKE COLA, WITH THE MOUTH, A LITTLE BIT CHATTY.

>> WELL, IT'S INTERESTING, YOU KNOW, BOTH WITH COLA AND THIS HORSE, YOU DON'T SEE A DROP OR FLASH BUT OFTEN IT'S A LITTLE BIT HOW PEOPLE, DIFFERENT PEOPLE DIFFERENT HORSES SO THEIR TENSION IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND OFTEN YOU JUST NEED TO LET IT OUT.

SOMETIMES IF YOU HAVE A HORSE LIKE THIS AND CLOSE THEIR MOUTH AROUND THE BIT, THEY GET MORE ANXIOUS, SO FOR HIM TO HAVE AN OUTLET THERE IS A KIND THING FOR HER TO LET HIM TO TO DO.

YOU CAN SEE THE TENSION CREEPING IN.

LOVELY STAMP OF A HORSE.

HE IS VERY TYPY.

HE'S NICE AND TILL HILL, STAYS ON THE END OF THE REIN, MAYBE NOT THE BIG MOVEMENT AS IN THE PREVIOUS HORSES BUT MAKES IT UP IN HIS TRY AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP.

SHE KNOWS THIS HORSE LIKE THE BACK OF HER HAND.

SO SHE IS GOING TO REALLY GO FOR ACCURACY, MAKING SURE THAT THE JUDGES GIVE HER THE MOST MARKS THAT THEY CAN.

UNFORTUNATELY A LITTLE MISTAKE THERE.

A LITTLE TENSION CREEPING IN AND YOU CAN SEE HIM JUST BEING A LITTLE CHATTY ON THE CONTACT.

WHICH, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES WE CAN THINK OF IT MORE OF THEM BEING OR THINKING.

NOT NECESSARILY BEING UNCOMFORTABLE OR ANXIOUS, BUT JUST THOUGHTFUL, ENGAGED, TRYING AND I THINK THAT'S VERY MUCH WHAT THIS HORSE DOES.

HE IS A REAL THINKER, A REAL TRYER.

THE SUN IN THE ARENA, THE BIG SCREEN RIGHT THERE, THEY'RE KIND OF STARING INTO THIS CORNER AND THERE IS A GAP OUT OF THE SIDE OF THE ARENA WHERE THE HORSES WILL GALLOP OUT FOR THE CROSS COUNTRY TOMORROW.

SO LOTS TO SEE.

AROUND AND SETS UP FOR THE FIRST CHANGE ON THE DIAGONAL.

A LITTLE TIGHT BUT STILL CLEAN.

A REALLY POLITE HORSE.

YOU CAN SEE THE CONTACT THERE SUPER JOB.

VERY LIGHT ON THE END OF THE REIN.

JENNY IS ABLE TO STAY SOFT AND COMMUNICATE IN A VERY LIGHT WAY.

SOMETIMES THAT CAN FEEL EMPTY.

YOU WANT THEM TO STEP UP TO THE CONTACT BUT SHE KNOWS THIS HORSE REALLY WELL AND TRUSTS IF SHE RIDES HIM UP TO THE MARK, ASKS FOR CHANGE, HE WILL DELIVER WHICH HE DOES AGAIN AND SHE KEEPS A VERY NICE OUTLINE.

JUST TRYING TO KEEP HIM A LITTLE BIT TIPPED IN, A LITTLE BIT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE INSIDE AS SHE LENGTHENS AND HERE GOES FOR HER STRETCHY CIRCLE MOVING TOWARD THE TAIL END OF THIS DRESSAGE TEST, JUST TRENDING AROUND THE 34, YOU KNOW, AGAIN FOR THE BIGGER MARKS.

JUST WANT A LITTLE MORE CONFIRMED CONNECTION.

JUST ADDING A LITTLE MORE TIME IN EACH STEP, YOU KNOW WE TALK ABOUT SUSPENSION AND THAT'S THE TIME THEY SPEND IN THE AIR.

THIS HORSE IS QUICK ACROSS THE GROUND.

AND THIS VERY GOOD JOB THERE AGAIN THIS IS A NICE HORSE TO GALLOP ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

QUICK FOOTED, QUICK THINKING BUT THAT CAN MAKE THE JOB IN THE DRESSAGE RING A LITTLE MORE CHALLENGING.

SUPER JOB.

SUPER POLITE THROUGH THE TEST.

CLEAR ROUND.

SHE IS SO PROUD OF THIS HORSE.

SHE LOVES HIM SO MUCH.

JENNY BRANNIGAN WITH TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM.

SHE HAS A FEW THINGS TO SETTLE THIS YEAR, LET'S SAY THAT.

SHE WANTS TO GET OUT ON THE 5 STAR TRACK.

16th AT KENTUCKY AS WE MATURE, SPENCER, WHEN YOU GET THERE, LET ME KNOW.

WE GET A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE IN OUR OWN SKIN AND THAT'S WHAT TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM IS LOOKING LIKE.

HE IS GETTING COMFORTABLE.

WOULD PREFER TO BE OUT GALLOPING AROUND THE RACETRACK OR CROSS COUNTRY BUT HE IS GET ARE MORE COMFORTABLE IN THAT SPACE.

>> 34.5, 178, 171, 175, 34.5.

GOES 12TH FOR JENNY BRANNIGAN AND TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM YOU CAN TELL, YOU KNOW, JENNY IS JUST VERY PROUD.

VERY PROUD OF THE HORSE, VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT LEE HAS DONE, THE RELATIONSHIP THAT THEY HAVE AND THERE IS TIM GARDENER THERE ERIC DUVANDER WHO HELPS JENNY.

WITH ALL OF HER HORSES AND A HANDFUL OF OTHER RIDERS HERE.

SHE JUST SAYS GOOD LUCK TIM AS HE GOES UP THE CHUTE.

>> GOOD LUCK, TIM, TIM PRICE IS NEXT TO GO EVERYBODY WALKING UP THIS BUSY PATHWAY NOW BIG TEAM BEHIND TIM.

STAYING UP IN THE RIGHT CORNER INTERESTINGLY BUT HE KNOWS HE HAS SEEN A FEW HORSES THAT HAVE HAD A GOOD LOOK UP THERE.

HE IS JUST TAKING HIS TIME.

FALCO IS THE HORSE HE RIDES.

THE HORSE HE RODE IN PARIS AT THE OLYMPICS GAMES OWNED BY SUE BENSON, FALCO HAS BEEN JUST A BRILLIANT HORSE HE WON HERE BACK IN 2022, THE SECOND RUNNING OF THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY.

HE IS ONE OF THE THE ONLY RIDERS, NOW I'M TRYING TO THINK AND SOMEBODY MIGHT CORRECT ME, BUT TIM HAS RIDDEN AT EVERY 5 STAR, SEVEN OF THEM.

HE HAS RIDDEN AT KENTUCKY, BABINGTON, POE, ADELAIDE.

I DON'T THINK MANY HAVE DONE THAT.

CLAYTON FRED RICKS MIGHT HAVE DONE THAT AS WELL FALCO OF COURSE WON THE 5 STAR POE BACK IN 2021.

HE IS A FORMER 5 STAR WINNER, WE HAVE THREE 5 STAR WINNERS IN THIS CLASS, IT'S SUCH A HIGH QUALITY FIELD AND WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE SAID, THOUGH SHE IS SMALL, SHE IS FIERCE.

THAT'S THIS FIELD.

THE QUALITY IS OUTSTANDING.

TIM HAS I A VERY GOOD HORSE IN FALCO, INCREDIBLE JUMPER AND VERY GOOD HORSE ON THE FLATTS.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP AS WELL MORE RECENTLY AND JUST STUN AGO CROSS THERE.

WHAT A PICTURE.

TALKING ABOUT DIFFERENT TYPES.

THIS HORSE IS PUT TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY.

BUM IS TUCKED UNDER AND READY TO THROTTLE OUT INTO THAT MEDIUM AND EXTENDED TROT, ORGANIZED AND SUPPLE INTO THE HALF PASS, CHANGES BEND INTO THE EIGHT METERS CIRCLE AND THIS IS SUCH A DEMONSTRATION OF SUPPLENESS, RIGHT, THE MOVE STRUNG TOGETHER THROUGH THIS TEST REALLY WORKS BOTH SIDES OF THE HORSES, THE CONNECTION FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, CONNECTION FROM BACK TO FRONT AND WATCHING HIM MOVE THROUGH THIS SEAMLESSLY, YOU KNOW, SHOWS THAT THIS IS A VERY BALANCED AND SUPPLE HORSE AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR OBVIOUSLY.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL HORSE.

LOOK AT THAT.

IT'S INCREDIBLE.

THE POWER THERE AND IT'S VERY UNIQUE, SPENCER, I'M SURE YOU WOULD AGREE TO FIND A HORSE SO GOOD ACROSS ALL THREE PHASES.

>> SOMETHING YOU DREAM OF.

>> RIGHT?

AND IT'S INCREDIBLE.

WE HAVE SEEN THIS IS REALLY LIKE YOU SAID, THE THIRD FIVE 5 STAR WINNER AND YOU HAVE TO BE NOT JUST GOOD BUT EXCEPTION SEOUL-- EXCEPTIONAL ACROSS ALL THREE PHASES.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE MIND, PHYSICAL SKILL.

>> INTERESTING CHOICE OF MUSIC AS WELL PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND.

I HAD A LOVELY CHAT WITH SUE BENSON AND HER HUSBAND LAST NIGHT AND SHE GETS SO NERVOUS SHE IS AN INCREDIBLE LADY.

SHE WAS A RUNNER UP AT THE BABBINGTON HORSE TRIALS A FEW YEARS AGO.

SHE WAS THE COURSES DESIGNER AT THE LONDON 2012 OLYMPIC GAMES, FORMER COURSE DESIGNER OF THE HORSE TRIALS.

SHE, YOU KNOW, SHE IS AMAZING.

SPENDING TIME WITH HER GRANDCHILDREN AND OVER TO THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR TO WATCH HER BELOVED FALCO COMPETE.

>> AN EPIC PLACE TO BE INVOLVED.

SHE WAS THE MOST NERVOUS AS AN OWNER IT'S ALL GOING TO BE REALLY, REALLY CLOSE TIM IS THE WORLD NUMBER 3 HE HAS BEEN A FORMER WORLD NUMBER ONE ALONG WITH HIS WIFE JANELL WHO WAS AT THE TIME, WORLD NUMBER TWO.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET WORLD NUMBER 1 AND NUMBER 2 FROM THE SAME HOUSEHOLD, HUSBAND AND WIFE.

>> I'M SURE SHE IS WATCHING BUT I THINK SHE IS OVER COMPETING AT LEON, THE YOUNG HORSE CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE GOING ON IN FRANCE AS WE SPEAK.

>> GOOD CHANGE THERE, NOT LEAVING ANYTHING TO CHANCE, A WOBBLE OFF THE LINE.

>> HE IS AHEAD OF TAMMY SMITH AT THE MOMENT, WHICH IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.

IT'S SO LOVELY TO HAVE.

WE HAVE THE WORLD NUMBER 3 HERE, OLIVER TOWNEND NUMBER 5, BOYD MARTIN WORLD NUMBER 6 HARRY MEADE NUMBER 8 IN THE WORLD.

IT'S PRETTY SPECIAL.

>> AND I THINK IT SAYS A LOT TO THE TEAM HERE AND TO MARYLAND 5 FAR FROM THIS STANING WILL,-- ANGLE.

WE WILL HAVE TO SEE THAT AGAIN OR CHECK THE SCORE.

IT'S HARD FROM THIS ANGLE.

EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS AND THESE CHANGES ARE SO IMPORTANT.

>> IT'S 27.7.

AMS LOOKING FOR THE NEW INSIDE HIND LEG.

WE'LL EXPLAIN THAT JUST ONCE FOR YOU.

AS YOU ARE LOOKING AND WONDERING WHY WE ARE SAYING GOOD FLYING CHANGE, INDIFFERENT.

THE STRETCH ON THE CIRCLE.

WE'VE SEEN SOME AVERAGE MARKS THERE, SOME REALLY GOOD MARKS BUT THE HORSE WENT OUT AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL NOW WE ARE GOING TO WATCH THE LEFT HIND AND WATCH THE RIGHTED HIND HIT THE FLOOR BEFORE THE FRONT LEG.

VERY NICE.

IT IS GOING TO BE VERY CLOSE.

>> ONE MARK SEPARATING AT THE MOMENT.

[ APPLAUSE ] TIM PRICE FALCO.

IT IS WONDERFUL TO WATCH AND SIT BACK AND WATCH SUCH DISPLAY OF GOOD TECHNICAL RIDING, HARMONY, IT'S LIKE WATCHING AN ARTIST OPPOSED TO AN ATHLETE AT TIMES REALLY BEAUTIFUL WORK.

>> ABSOLUTE MASTER CLASS WE ARE WITNESSING HERE THIS AFTERNOON WE HAVE SEEN ALREADY THREE TESTS GO SUB 30.

WE ARE GOING TO SEE ANOTHER FOR SURE, TIM PRICE NAILED HIS LAST HOLD AND HE WAS RIGHT UP ON THE TAIL OF TAMMY SMITH AND MAI BAUM SCORE.

25.3.

WHERE WILL TIM PRICE GO FOR NEW ZEALAND?

HE HAS WON IT ALL.

2022, HE IS JUST GETTING TAKING OFF.

>> AND YOU CAN SEE THAT'S WHY HE STAYED UP THERE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.

WE ARE NOT RUNNING OUT OF HERE.

HOW WE LEAVE IS HOW WE WILL COME BACK IN.

198, 195.5, 198.5 GOES FOR 27.4.

AND WE CAN SEE THERE, THE SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN JUDGES MARKS BUT.

>> AND IT REALLY THAT ONE CHANGE THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TOP THREE SPOTS AND FOURTH.

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY AND IT IS SO CLOSE, IT REALLY IS.

AND YOU KNOW, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF SECONDS THAT CAN CHANGE THAT LEADERBOARD AND WE KNOW THAT THE TIME IS PRETTY DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE HERE.

WITH THE TERRAIN, WITH THE GREAT USE OF NATURAL TOPOGRAPHY, IT IS A REALLY A REAL TEST ENDURANCE TEST.

>> AND WE SAW AND WE WILL SEE IT TOMORROW AGAIN, THAT SOME OF THE TERRAIN THAT YOU TALK ABOUT IS THE MOST INTENSE, THE NINTH AND TENTH MINUTE.

SO IT'S NOT THAT IT COMES ON FAST.

IT'S THE HORSE IS GOING TO BE A REAL TEST OF ENDURANCE AS WE GET DOWN THE CENTER LINE.

>> THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

>> BECAUSE YOU LIKE SAYING WABBIT.

>> I DO.

JESSICA PHOENIX AND WABBIT.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING HIM INTO OUR LIVES.

WABBIT, HE IS A BRILLIANT HORSE.

HE HAS BEEN TO 5 STARS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

HE HAS BEEN TO BURLEY, BABBINGTON, JUST WHO RIDES A 14-YEAR-OLD BY LINE OF DEPARTURE, THE DAM, NEW KISSING AND THE DAMSIRE GREAT GLADIATOR.

BRED BY THE MOLINARO FARM AND OWNED BY JESSE HERSELF AND JIM PHILLIPS.

>> YEAH, BIG SUPPORTERS.

AND IT HAS BEEN SO EXCITING TO FOLLOW THIS PAIR AGAIN, A REAL CROWD FAVORITE AND JESSE FRESH OFF THE PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES.

AND WABBIT HAD SUCH AMAZING FINISH AT BURLEY IN 2023, YOU KNOW, IT'S SUCH AN UNBELIEVABLE TRACK OVER THERE SHE HAD STRUGGLED IN THE SHOW JUMPING AND WENT OVER WITH THE PRICES AND I THINK SHE HAD MAYBE ONE POLE DOWN AND IT WAS IMPRESSIVE TO FINISH 11TH THERE BUT A GOOD THOROUGHBRED HORSE AND AGAIN, LIKE TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM, YOU DON'T HAVE THE BIG MOVEMENT THAT WE JUST SAW IN FALCO, BUT YOU'VE GOT A NICE CONNECTION AND JESSE REALLY MAKING SURE WABBIT STAYS OUT TO THE END OF REIN AND GETS EVERY MARK SHE CAN.

THERE IS A BIG TROT THERE.

>> THERE IS BUT HE STARTED OFF A LITTLE TENTATIVELY AND I THINK JESSE WASN'T GOING TO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES TOO MUCH AND AGAIN IN THE CORNER JUST CLOSING BACK ON THAT.

SUCH A LOVELY EXPRESSION.

AND YOU CAN SEE THIS EARLIER.

SHE' GOT A SOFT RUBBER BIT IN HIS MOUTH SHOWING THE HORSE IS LIGHT AND SENSITIVE IN THE BRIDLE AND JUST HAPPIER WITH THAT CONTACT.

THE MORE YOU GET TO KNOW THE HORSES AND THE MORE YOU GO THROUGH THE LEVELS, THEY TELL YOU THEIR LIKES AND DISLIKES AND HE LOOKS VERY COMFORTABLE ON THE END OF THE REIN, A LITTLE LOSS OF BALANCE AS SHE COMES INTO THE WALK, THAT TENSION CREEPING IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.

YOU CAN SEE JESSE STAYING BACK, WAITING DOWN THE HIND END SAYING WAIT FOR ME BACK HERE, TRYING TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR AND OBVIOUS TO HIM THAT HE IS MEANT TO STAY WALKING THAT'S WHERE THE HORSE BEING LIGHT ON THE CANNES TACT IS GREAT IN CERTAIN PLACES BUT HERE HE IS A LITTLE EMPTY AND SHE CAN'T COMMUNICATE WITH HIM ON THAT SENSE, AS SHE IS HAVING TO USE HER SEAT, HER BALANCE, HER LEG TO HAVE THAT POINT OF COMMUNICATION WITH HIM SO THAT SHE CAN SAY JUST HANG ON THESE HORSES ARE FIT AND READY TO RUN AND SO THIS WALK CAN BE A LITTLE BIT OF A TRICKY PLACE TO BE.

SHE IS HEADING UP TO HER HALT.

JESSE HAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE NICKNAMES, SHE IS CALLED THE SMILING ASSASSIN.

ANYONE WHO WATCHED HER TROT AROUND THE BOX AT PARIS, IT WAS WILD.

SHE HAD A GREEN FROM EAR TO EAR.

EVERYONE ELSE LOOKED GREEN AND I GOT A NOTE FROM ONE OF MY FRIENDS, THERE IS JESSE PHOENIX HAVING A GREAT TIME AT THE HOISMS.

THE ONLY ONE HAVING A GREAT TIME.

SHE IS SO POSITIVE AND OPTIMISTIC.

THE HORSES FEEL IT FROM HER.

IT'S TRULY, TRULY WHO SHE IS AND SHE LOVES THESE HORSES SO MUCH AND DELIVERS SO MUCH CONFIDENCE TO THEM.

IT'S ALL GOING TO BE OKAY.

SHE IS STAYING BACK, ENCOURAGING HIM TO THINK OUT AND FORWARD.

THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS FEELING SCHUE KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON.

HE WAS A LITTLE ANXIOUS AND SHE IS TELLING HIM WHERE TO PUT THE NEXT FOOT.

UNFORTUNATELY A LITTLE MUDDLED IN THE CHANGE THERE SHE IS DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO KEEP ALL FOUR FEET WHERE THEY SHOULD BE JUMPS THROUGH THAT ONE UNFORTUNATELY AS WELL THE SCORE IS STARTING TO TIP UP IN THE FOURTH.

GETS TO RUN A LITTLE BIT WHICH IS WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WE'LL HAVE TO SEE IN THE STRETCHY CIRCLE HOW THEY NAVIGATE A LITTLE MORE STRETCH THAN THAT BUT KEPT HIM IN THE RING, A LOT TO BE SAID THERE.

SHE RESETS THE BALANCE ONE MORE CHANGE TO DO AND THEN DOWN THE CENTER LINE AND SHE CAN THINK ABOUT THE CROSS COUNTRY.

JUST SNEAKS THAT CHANGE IN ON HER.

NOT GOING TO BE GOOD ENOUGH TO CHALLENGE THE LEADERBOARD, BUT FINISHES STRONG WITH A NICE GREAT...

IT'S JUST A VERY SOFT FIT.

AND IT'S NOT EVEN-- IT'S A REALLY SOFT PLASTIC THAT JUST GIVES WITH THE MOUTH, HORSES THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT SHY IN THE CONTACT REALLY LIKE IT.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE A NICE HAND HOLD BASICALLY.

THEY CAN LEAN ON IT JUST A LITTLE BIT TO HELP THEM SOME OF THE QUALITY SHINING THROUGH.

MARRED WITH A FEW MISTAKES AND A LITTLE BIT OF TENSION BUT SHE WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO GET OUT ON IAN'S TRACK.

SHE HAS JUMPED THE BIGGEST TRACKS ON THIS HORSE AND I THINK TOMORROW WE'VE GOT ADDING TO THAT LIST.

BIGGEST TRACKS IN THE WORLD WILL BE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR 2024.

>> IT REALLY WILL.

AND IT'S A REALLY IMPRESSIVE TRACK.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A RUN WITH IAN STARK LATER ON.

BUT WABBIT A BIT CHEEKY AT TILES.

THIS IS HIS 6th 5 STAR AND IT IS A 41.4, 158, 157.5 AND GOES SFROO 1th PLACE.

SHE HAS TRAVELED WITH JESSE ALL OVER THE WORLD.

SHE JUST COMPETED HER OWN HORSE AT A 4 STAR LAST WEEKEND AND IS JUST FANTASTIC AS FAR AS SUPPORTING JESSE AND HER TEAM.

SO NOW HARRY MEADE, GREAT BRITAIN'S HARRIED HARRY MEADE HAS RIDDEN HIS FIRST TEST.

HE COMES IN NOW WITH IT IT, A YOUNG HORSE IT IT HOP DU MATZ OPPOSED TO THE HORSE HE RAN YESTERDAY, 17-YEAR-OLD.

THIS, A VERY YOUNG HORSE.

IT HOP DU MATZ THE DAM EASY STAR AND IN FACT PRIMA IS THE DAM.

ROGER SEVETTE IS THE BREEDER.

MANDIE GRAY AND HARRY OWN THIS HORSE.

CO-OWN.

>> WELL DONE THANKS.

I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON-- >> I'M HERE FOR A REASON.

>> YOU'VE GOT MY BACK.

>> A GOOD SIDE KICK: I JUST FILL IN THE GAPS.

>> THERE IS A REASON YOU WON AN EMMY.

SO IT'S PRETTY EXCITING THIS HORSE ACTUALLY 5 STAR DEBUT AND, YOU KNOW, HORSE FINISHED AT THE TOP 10 IN BRANUM.

AND WHAT IS INTERESTING IS BRINGING HIM HERE, THIS SHOWS HIS SCOPE.

A BIG BOLD COURSE, YOU KNOW.

A VENUE LIKE NEXT WEEK AT POE IS TECHNICAL, FLATTER.

IT REALLY SHOWS WHERE HARRY'S BELIEF IS WITH THIS HORSE.

JUST A 10-YEAR-OLD LIKE HE SAID, REALLY EXCITING FOR HIM TO HAVE SO MANY HORSES AT THIS TOP LEVEL >> IT REALLY IS.

HORSE STARTED OFF IN HIS INTERNATIONAL CAREER BY MATURE HARRY WON HIS FIRST EVENT AT MILL STREET, THE 3 STAR LONG IN IRELAND.

AS YOU SAID, HIS MORE RECENT RUN IN THE 4 STAR LONG FINISHING INSIDE THE TOP 10 AT THE BRAMA INTERNATIONAL BIG TRACK THERE.

ANOTHER IAN STARK TRACK.

CLEVER GAME PLAY BECAUSE HARRY CHASED IAN AROUND THE COUNTRY TO HIS BIG TRACKS TO THEN COME HERE BECAUSE WHAT ARERY HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE.

HE KNOWS WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND HE SAYS HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT AND BROWN ADVISORY HAVE BEEN SO SUPPORTIVE.

WITH THE RIDERS AS WELL.

THEY HAVE BEEN AMAZING AND WE THANK THEM VERBALLY.

>> HARRY IS DOING A REALLY NICE JOB.

THIS IS A LOT OF HORSE TO MOVE AROUND.

A YOUNGER HORSE, LESS CONFIRMED IN THE CONTACT THAN WE HAVE SEEN IN THE OTHERS, BUT STILL QUITE RIDEABLE.

IF HE CAN BREAK INTO THE 20s, HE WOULD BE OVER THE MOON AND HE IS CAPABLE, THIS HORSE BUT BEING A 5 STAR DEBUT ATMOSPHERE LIKE THIS, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET AND AT THE MOMENT, IT HOP DU MATZ IS BEHAVING BEAUTIFULLY.

I'M GOING TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR PIPPER CARL WHO MESSAGED IN GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU AND HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL AND SENDING ALL OF OUR BEST WISHES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HELPING OUT.

A NUMBER OF YOU MESSAGING IN, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED.

>> I THINK IT'S INTERESTING HERE, TOO, LIKE YOU SAID, THIS HORSE NEW TO THE LEVEL THAT IS QUITE MATURE, THE HORSES HAVE CONFIDENCE IN DIFFERENT PLACES OR LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN DIFFERENT PLACES AND HE SEEMS VERY CONFIDENT WITH HIS RIDER, VERY CONFIDENT IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

I THINK WHERE HIS GREENNESS IS IN HIS GROWTH REALLY, IN HIS CONNECTION.

THAT WILL GET STRONGER AND STRONGER, ESPECIALLY RUNNING AROUND SOME OF THE BIG TRACKS.

>> BUT YOU SNOW, HARRY DOES INSTILL THAT CONFIDENCE INTO THEM, DOESN'T HE.

>> VERY WELL PLANNED HARRY FINISHED THIRD AT BURLEY THIS YEAR I SO WANTED HIM TO WIN THE 5 STAR BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN 60s YEARS TO BURLEY THIS YEAR IF HE HAD WON THAT 60 YEARS SINCE HIS FATHER WON THERE, THE GREAT LATE RICHARD MEADE.

>> NICE CHANGE THERE.

INTERESTING THINGS TO WATCH HOW THE RIDERS ARE STILL TRAINING AND RIDING IN THE RING.

HARRY IS RIDING, SETTING IT UP THE BEST HE CAN.

SEE IF THE CHANGE WORKS.

NO, LOOKS FROM THIS ANGLE A LITTLE LATE BEHIND.

IT'S HARD TO SEE FROM THIS ANGLE BUT REALLY TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO RIDE THIS HORSE AND MAKING SURE HE STAYS RIDEABLE IN THE RING AGAIN, LATE FROM THIS ANGLE.

HARRY HAS AN AMAZING RECORD BUT STILL HASN'T GOT THE ONE THAT HE WANTS WHICH IS A 5 STAR WIN.

>> THERE YOU CAN SEE THE HORSE IS QUITE RELAXED.

HE DOES LOOK TO GET A LITTLE STRONG, A LITTLE ON THE MUSCLE A BIG TRIP FOR THE HORSES OVER HERE AND YOU DON'T KNOW UNTIL YOU GET HERE HOW THEY'RE GOING TO COME THROUGH.

THE FINAL CHANGE.

>> ESPECIALLY WITH THE YOUNGER HORSES YOU KNOW, AS YOU SAID, IT'S A BIG TRIP RUF GOT TO SEE HOW THEY FAIR WHEN THEY LAND ON THE OTHER SIDE AND THEN HOW THEY TAKE IN THE NEW ENVIRONMENT HARRY HAS RIDDEN A SUPER TEST FOR A YOUNG HORSE A LOT TO DO TOMORROW HE LOOKS REALLY PLEASED THE FUTURE IS NOW, 5 STAR NOW BUT THIS IS A 10-YEAR-OLD.

WE'VE GOT A BIG PLATFORM AHEAD OF US, SEEING THAT WE'VE SEEN HORSES IN THIS ARENA THAT ARE 18 YEARS OLD, A BIG FUTURE.

>> 18-YEAR-OLD LEADING, 17-YEAR-OLD SECOND.

UTH TIME FOR THE OLDER ONES TO SHOW THEIR WORTH.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> AND TESTAMENT TO THOSE GUYS, TAMMY, OLIVER, THE TEAM BEHIND THEM, THAT HAVE KEPT THE HORSES IN TOP NOTCH CONDITION AND WE THINK OF THE HORSES THAT WE HAVE SEEN, BALLAGHMOR CLASS, 7th 5 STAR, TAMMY FORMER 5 STAR WINNER.

THERE IS THREE HORSES IN THE TOP FOUR THAT HAVE WON ONE 5 STAR.

TAMMY SMITH ONE, TIM PRICE WELL, THERE IS THE SCORE FOR HARRY MEADE.

JUST COMING IN AND HERE IT IS.

ON OUR SCREEN VERY QUICKLY.

AND IT IS A SCORE OF 33.6 FOR GREAT BRITAIN'S HARRY MEADE.

>> BIG SMILE THERE.

>> 177, 180, 180.5.

GOES INTO 11th PLACE JUST OUTSIDE THE TOP 10.

THAT WILL... BILL COLEMAN DOING QUITE WELL IN THE 3 STAR AND WILL HOP TO A PLANE AND HEAD TO POE NEXT WEEK.

>> LOOK AT THIS FOR THE CROSS COUNTRY COURSE.

TAILGATE LITTLE TENTS ARE ALL SET, READY FOR ACTION TOMORROW.

THAT IS THE FINISH BOX RIGHT THERE AND OACIALGHTS MY GOODNESS.

ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?

IT IS SO INCREDIBLE THE AERIAL VIEWS ARE BROUGHT TO YOU BY CLIPMYHORSET.

BUT THE GALLOPING TRACKS, THE GALLOPING LANES, WISH AT THEM.

I WISH MY LAWN LOOKED LIKE THAT.

SO NOW IT IS THE FORMER TWO-TIME 5 STAR WINNER.

HE WON AT AT ADELAIDE IN 2003.

HE WON HERE WITH ON CUE IN 2021.

IT IS THE WONDERFUL, AT THE TIME AT THE TIME, BOYD MARTIN, TET TSETSERLEG TSF HE RIDES CHRISTIE AND TOMMY AND THOMAS TURNER'S 17-YEAR-OLD THIS HORSE IS ANOTHER ONE THAT HAS BEEN SO IMPRESSIVE THROUGH HIS CAREER, TOKYO OLYMPICS 2018, PETRONIE THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AND A LITTLE HORSE, IT'S LIKE THOMAS THE TRAIN, THE LITTLE HORSE THAT COULD, RIGHT?

AND FORMERLY CAMPAIGNED AS A 2 STAR HORSE BY MICHAEL POLLARD AND BOYD TOOK OVER THE RIDE AND HAS GONE FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH.

AND YOU KNOW, WE ARE SO SAD NOT TO SEE ON CUE WHO WON THE FIRST MARYLAND 5 STAR BUT HAPPY FOR HER HEALTHY AND HAPPY RETIREMENT AND GLAD TO SEE THOMAS OUT HERE, STILL HOLDING STRONG WITH THE BIG BOYS.

>> CERTAINLY IS CERTAINLY BELYING HIS YEARS, ISN'T HE.

HE LOOKS FAB US.

>> HE LOOKS SO WELL LOOKS AS HAPPY AND WELL AS I'VE EVER SEEN HIM.

LOOKS FANTASTIC.

BOYD RODE A VERY MASTERFUL TEST YESTERDAY ON COMMANDO.

HORSE WAS QUITE WIDE EYED AT TIMES AND BOYD DID SUCH A NICE JOB.

I WAS SPEAKING TO VALERIE PRIDE, THE JOWJ AT H AND MADE A COMMENT OF HOW IMPRESSED SHE WAS WITH HIM RIDING THE HORSE OUT TO THE REIN AND SITTING PATIENTLY AND WAS REWARDED VERY WELL IN THE SCORE.

WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE RIGHT NOW.

IF HE KEEPS IT UP AND CAN SAY IN HIS 20S.

>> HE IS AT 28.5 WITH COMMANDO.

MENT TO LOOKING VERY HAPPY AND RELAXED BOYD HAS SO MANY NEW HORSES COMING THROUGH THE LEVELS.

IT HAS TO BE NICE TO GET ON THOMAS AND GO INTO THE ARENA WITH JUST YOUR OLD FRIEND, YOU KNOW, ONE HE HAS HAD FOR SO LONG AND BEEN TO SO MANY TOP COMPETITIONS.

I GUESS THAT IS HAND AND GLOVE THESE TWO.

TRUSTED HIM TO STAY IN THE WALK.

SO GREAT TO SEE HOW ALL THESE CROWDS ARE.

INCREDIBLE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TURNED OUT AND THE WEATHER IS FANTASTIC.

LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL... YOU WANT THE RIDER TO BE RIGHT AT A AND HE NAILED THAT.

WITH HIS WIFE, SILVA AND ALSO.

>> WHICH ONE IS THE GOOD ONE AND WHICH ONE IS THE BAD ONE?

>> EXACTLY.

YOU DARE NOT PULL TO A.

>> YEAH THERE'S AN EXIT OUTSIDE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ARENA EXPERIENCE IS CERTAINLY SHOWING IN THIS 5 STAR THIS AFTERNOON.

>> YOU CAN SEE THE SCORES DROPPING DOWN.

THERE IS SO MUCH TO LIKE HERE.

IT IS INTERESTING, WHEN YOU HAVE A HORSE YOU KNOW SO WELL, THE JUDGES KNOW THIS COMBINATION SO WELL AND YOU START SOMEWHERE AND I'M HONESTLY GOING TO SAY THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST TESTS I'VE SEEN THIS HORSE DO.

LOOKING SO WONDERFUL.

AND IT'S GETTING REWARDED IN THE SCORES TO JUST LIKING IT MORE AND MORE AND MORE.

BOYD HAS BEEN TRAVELING A LOT.

HUGE TESTAMENT TO THE TEAM KEEPING THESE HORSES FIT AND SOUND AND WELL.

>> THREE OUT OF FOUR ONE MORE FLYING CHANGE, EXTENDED CANTER.

THE ACCORDION CLOSES CANTER CLOSES THE STRETCH.

HE IS ENJOYING HIS UPHILL CONNECTION.

HE SAID I DON'T WANT TO STRETCH.

>> COULD IT STRETCH A LITTLE BIT MORE DO YOU THINK?

>> YES.

HE HAS GOTTEN HIMSELF INTO A NICE METRONOME.

THAT BROKE IT UP A LITTLE BIT FOR HIM.

FINAL CHANGE HERE.

POPS BOYD OUT OF THE TACK A LITTLE BIT.

CLEAN THOUGH.

>> LEADING SCORE 25.3.

AND I THINK THAT FLYING CHANGE MIGHT JUST HAVE BEEN COSTLY.

[ APPLAUSE ] >> HE IS SO PLEASED PROBABLY THE BEST I'VE SEEN.

HE ALWAYS LOOKS GREAT.

SO HAPPY AND CONFIDENT.

BOYD LOOKS SO HAPPY WITH HIM IT'S A PLEASURE BOYD MARTIN WOULD DARELY LOVE TO SHAKE UP THE LEADERBOARD THAT HE IS WALKING AWAY FROM.

BOYD MART UNFOR USA.

-- BOYD MARTIN FOR USA HAVE THROWN DOWN THEIR CHALLENGE, BUT WAS IT GOOD ENOUGH WAS THAT LAST FLYING CHANGE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM BEING IN THE TOP 4?

THAT WAS IT.

AT THAT TIME WAS THE LAST FLYING CHANGE.

A LITTLE BIT BACKWARDS AND HIGH.

>> I MEAN HOW AMAZING HAS IT BEEN TODAY.

HERE IS THE SCORE.

>> BRILLIANT 27.7, 195, 195, 194.5, 195.5, FOR A SCORE OF 27.7 INTO FIFTH PLACE.

TOP 5 SAID IT IS FOR BOYD MARTIN WITH ONE LEFT TO GO.

CAN YOU BELIEVE WE ARE SAYING ONE LEFT TO GO?

>> NO.

>> TOMORROW GOES SO QUICKLY.

THEN IT'S SUNDAY AND HOME TIME.

>> I LOVE THIS EVENT.

IT HAS JUST GROWN OVER THE YEARS AND SO SPECIAL, NOT OVER THOUGH BECAUSE THIS LADY COMING INTO THE ARENA IS NOT GOING TO GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.

COLLEEN COACH WITHE IF FE GOLDEN EYE.

THOSE OVERHEAD SHOTS BROUGHT TO YOU BY CLIPMYHORSE.TV.

GRATEFUL TO THEM.

COLLEEN LOACH OUR LAST TO GO REPRESENTING CANADA.

FE GOLDEN EYE, THE FRED RICKS EQUESTIAN PREFIX.

WE SEE QUITE A LOT OF HORSES THAT AT THAT TIME COVER THAT.

THE DAM CASCADE, MARJORIE HOUSE PETER BARRY OWN.

SHE WAS A LAST MINUTE ADDITION.

SHE WENT TO THE PARK LAST WEEK.

IN THE BEGINNING OF THE TRACK JUMPED REALLY BIG AND SHE CRUISED BY THE C ELEMENT OF THE COMBINATION AND DECIDED YOU KNOW WHAT I'M NOT GOING TO RUN THIS BEAUTIFUL HORSE AROUND THE REST OF THE COURSE JUST TO BE AN ALSO RAN.

I'M GOING TO TAKE HIM TO THE 5 STAR.

TRAVELING ALT ALTERNATE FOR THE OLYMPICS, READY TO GO IF SHE WAS CALLED UPON FOR PARIS.

>> SHE WAS IN RIO DE JANERO IN BRAZIL AND ALSO TOKYO 2021, FE GOLDEN EYE WON THE TEAM GOLD FOR CANADA AT THE PAN AM GAMES IN SANTIAGO CHILE LAST YEAR, INDIVIDUAL 6th A REALLY BEAUTIFUL HORSE.

SHE HAS JUMPED SOME GRAND PRIXES WITH HIM.

FABULOUS JUMPER.

HE CAN BE A LITTLE BIT CHEEKY.

ALMOST I WANT TO SAY I TALKED TO COLLEEN AT TRYION AND IT ALMOST SPURRED HER ON TO SAY LET'S GET TO IT AND SHE HAS HAD FANTASTIC RESULTS SINCE THEN AND I THINK SUCH A TALENT FOR CANADA AND JUST BEAUTIFUL.

BEAUTIFUL ON THE FLAT, BEAUTIFUL TYPE.

SO IT WILL BE EXCITING TO WATCH HER JUMP AROUND TOMORROW.

AND QUITE POSSIBLY AND QUITE A GOOD DRESSAGE SCORE.

ANOTHER HORSE WE SEE IN THAT SOFT BIT SHOWING THE LIGHTNESS AND AGAIN THAT CREATES QUITE A BIT LIGHT, NIPPY HORSE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

VERY OBEDIENT TEST.

I THINK JUST FOR THE NEXT CLICK OF MARKS, YOU JUST WANT THAT BALANCE TO COME UP A SMIDGE AND THINK A LITTLE MORE FORWARD.

SHE GETS THINKING A LITTLE DOWN ALMOST.

GETS A LITTLE SHY IN THERE HE LAS GOT SO MUCH POWER AND SO MUCH PRESENCE IF HE COULD GET A CLICK MORE CONNECTED, YOU WOULD SEE THE BIG MARKS OF MY BAWP, FALCO, JUST A 12-YEAR-OLD WHICH IS QUITE YOUNG FOR THE 5 STAR LEVEL.

THAT'S A LITTLE BIT WHERE YOU WOULD WANT HIM IN THE TRIAL WORK.

EARS UP, EARS PRICKED, STEPPING UP FROM BEHIND.

FIVE STEPS AND THE REIN BACK.

A LITTLE SHY AGAIN ON THAT LAST STEP.

SHE MOVES INTO THE CANTER WORK.

LATE BEHIND ON THAT UNFORTUNATELY.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE WERE SEEING IN THE PREVIOUS WORK IS THAT SOMETIMES JUST THE CONNECTION FROM BACK TO FRONT CAN BE A SMIDGE SLOW, JUST GO-TO-GET THAT CONNECTION A LITTLE CLICK QUICKER TO GET THAT CHANGE TO COME THROUGH.

LOOKS LIKE THAT ONE WAS GOOD BUT AGAIN, FROM OUR HEAD ON VIEW, IT'S A BIT HARD TO SEE.

DANCED HIS WAY THROUGH THAT ONE.

>> A LITTLE BIT BEHIND INDEED SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SHOT FROM HERE.

THE SUNSHINING, GALLOPING DOWN THE LONG SIDE, THE ADJUSTABILITY I MEAN THE QUALITY WE'VE SEEN TODAY IS SO IMPRESSIVE HORSES THAT ARE JUST BEYOND EXCELLENT, HORSES THAT ARE THE FUTURE AND HORSES RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR GAME, TO SWITCH GEARS SO QUICKLY AND HAVING THEM YOUR FINAL DECIMATION DESTINATION AND THEN QUICKLY ORGANIZE FOR 5 STAR IS NO SMALL FEAT.

THE FINAL CHANGE WE WILL SEE TODAY IN MARYLAND 5 STAR.

>> AND IT WAS LATE.

COLLEEN LOACH JUST THIS LAST CENTER LINE.

WOO JUST SAW SO MANY BRILLIANT HORSES THAT YOU THINK THE CHANGES ARE EASY AND THEY'RE NOT.

THEY'RE SO HARD.

>> UNBELIEVABLE.

THE QUALITY THAT WE'VE SEEN THIS AFTERNOON HAS BEEN MIND BLOWING.

STARTED OFF WITH BUBBY UPTON AND COMPANY COLA.

SHE SITS IN THIRD.

THEN TAMMY SMITH, THEN IT WAS OLIVER TOWNEND AND THEN WE SAW TIM PRICE AND FALCO.

BOYD MARTIN IMPRESSED.

HARRY MEADE, THE 10-YEAR-OLD IMPRESSED.

WE'VE SEEN 10 YEAR OLDS TO 18-YEAR-OLDS HERE IN THE FIVE FAR.

WHAT'S THAT MAKES THIS SPORT SO UNIQUE AND BRINGS EVERYBODY TOGETHER AND THAT IS WHY WE LOVE IT SO, SO MUCH.

SUCH AN IMPRESSIVE AFTERNOON AND SO QUICKLY WE WILL BE OUT TO THE CROSS COUNTRY WHERE EVERYTHING COULD CHANGE AND PROBABLY WILL.

>> PROBABLY WILL, BUT JUST WAITING FOR THAT SCORE TO COME IN FOR COLLEEN LOACH AND FE GOLDEN EYE.

AND HERE IT COMES.

A SCORE OF 34.1 AND COLLEEN AS WELL 172, 179, 182.5.

PUTTING HER INTO 14th PLACE.

LET'S HAVE A LOOK THEN AT OUR MAGNAWAVE DAILY PULSE.

3, 2 1-RBGS.

GREAT BRITAIN FIRST TO GO THIS AFTERNOON, WAS BUBBY UPTON, BUBBY WITH THE WONDERFUL COLA, 14 YEARS OLD AND SHE REALLY CAME OUT MEANING BUSINESS.

>> IT WAS A FANTASTIC WAY AND I KNEW WE WOULD START OUR DAY WITH A BANG WHEN SHE WAS FIRST UP.

AWESOME FOR HER TO DELIVER ON THIS WORLD STAGE.

>> YEAH, REALLY WAS, AND SO THRILLED FOR HER.

OLIVER TOWNEND NUMBER ONE IS THE HORSE THAT HE REALLY WANTS TO WIN ON HERE.

FORMER THREE-TIME 5 STAR WINNER.

IT IS THE GREAT BALLAGHMOR CLASS.

SECOND ON THE REALLY GOOD SCORE OF 26.5 HE NAILED ALL OF THE CHANGE WITH THE PURE MASTER CLASS.

AS, TO, THIS LADY WHO WENT JUST BEFORE HIM.

SHE HAS THROWN THE GAUNTLET DOWN.

SHE SAID NOW COME AND CATCH ME.

THE 18-YEAR-OLD, MAI BAUM SITS OUT IN FRONT ON 25.3.

SHE WAS THRILLED.

WE WERE THRILLED AND WHAT A PERFORMANCE FOR THE USA.

MAGNAWAVE DAILY PULSE 3, 2, 1.

WELL, FOLLOWING HER AMAZING PERFORMANCE IN THE DRESSAGE, FRANKIE CAUGHT UP WITH OUR OVERNIGHT LEADER WITH TAMMY SMITH.

>> CAUGHT UP.

I'M WITH HER NOW BUT TAMMY SMITH, BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE FROM YOU AND MAI BAUM AND OF COURSE IT IS GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO GO INTO TOMORROW'S CROSS COUNTRY WITH THE LEAD IN HAND AND TALK ABOUT IAN'S TRACK AND WHAT IT TAKES TO GET IT DONE TOMORROW.

>> I THINK THE TIME OBVIOUSLY SINCE LAST YEAR, IT'S GOING TO BE INFLUENTIAL WHICH IS REALLY EXCITING.

A LOT OF WORK ON THE GROUND.

THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN A LOT OF RAIN OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS SO THEY HAVE BEEN WATERING LIKE CRAZY BUT THERE IS ENOUGH PLACES TO MAKE A MISTAKE SO IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING AND I WILL BE OUT THERE GIVING IT ALL I'VE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE CHEERING YOU AROUND THE TRACK BUT BEFORE WE CUT OUR ATTENTION TO TOMORROW'S CROSS COUNTRY WE HAVE TO AWARD YOU WITH THESE CURIOUS STRONG MINTS FOR YOUR BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE TODAY IN THE DRESSAGE.

JESSE PHOENIX AND WABBIT.

LOVELY A BIT CHEEKY TODAY.

SITS DOWN IN 22nd PLACE.

I MEAN IT HAS BEEN A ROLLER COASTER, HABIT IT?

IT HAS BEEN SO GOOD, ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON, I MEAN WE HAVE BEEN SPOILED.

WE HAVE REALLY BEEN SPOILED WITH THE STANDARD DRESSAGE SEEING THREE FORMER 5 STAR WINNERS IN THE FIELD, BALLAGHMOR CLASS, THREE 5 STARS AND THEN YOU'VE GOT BOYD, MAI BAUM WITH TAMMY AND THEN, OF COURSE, YOU'VE GOT FALCO AND TIM PRICE WHO WON THE POE 5 STAR.

ALL TO PLAY TOMORROW.

CROSS COUNTRY COURSE, IAN STARK RETIRING, HIS LAST HURRAH AND HE MEANS BUSINESS.

>> HE IS GOING OUT WITH A BANG.

HOOEY SAID I'M DOING WHAT I WANT.

THEY CAN'T FIRE ME NOW.

SO IT'S SOME EXCITING STUFF TODAY.

EVERYBODY DELIVERED.

SO FUN TO WATCH THE HORSES COME OUT AND PERFORM.

WE HAD AN EXPECTATION.

THEY DELIVERED ON THE EXPECTATION AND THEN TOMORROW ALL THE PLAY FOR.

>> ALL TO PLAY FOR.

WE ARE LIVE WITH ALL OF THE ACTION TOMORROW.

3 STAR KICKS US OFF AND THE 5 STAR CROSS COUNTRY AND IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT BUT THEY'VE WATERED, THEY'VE AREA AIR ATED BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT HAD MUCH RAIN IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY.

THEY'VE DONE ALL THEY CAN.

THIS WONDERFUL RACETRACK, THAT CIRCLES AROUND THIS WONDERFUL VENUE HAS, IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT ENOUGH HASN'T IT BUT THEY'VE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND TO ENSURE THAT THE HORSE AND RIDER COMBINATIONS HAVE THE BEST POSSIBLE FOOTING THAT THEY CAN HAVE FOR TOMORROW'S CROSS COUNTRY.

DRESSAGE HAS BEEN SPECTACULAR.

GOODNESS ONLY KNOWS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW BUT IT'S GOING TO BE FUN.

>> AND THE RIDERS NOW, THE TAILS WILL COME OFF OF THE RIDERS, NOT THE HORSES AND THEY WILL BE OUT ON THAT COURSE WALKING, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WILL KEEP GETTING WATERED AND AREA RATED UNTIL THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING SO THE GROUNDS WILL BE AS GREAT AS IT CAN FOR THE HORSES.

BEAUTIFUL TURF TAKEN CARE OF ALL YEAR ROUND.

WE KNOW THAT THE GUY ARE WORKING AROUND THE COURSE.

IT'S STUNNING AND THE HORSES ARE READY.

>> IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WE WALK AROUND THE THREE, WE ARE GOING TO WANDER AROUND 5 STAR.

WE LOOKED AROUND.

I GOT NERVOUS BUT IT IS GOING TO BE FASCINATING.

IT'S GOING TO BE SO INTERESTING.

OF COURSE WE'VE GOT FIRST TIMERS AND WE'VE GOT SEASONED CAMPAIGNERS IN THE FIELD SO IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY GAS NATEING.

-- FASCINATING WE HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US FOR THE ACTION TOMORROW.
