BOYD MARTIN TOOK A TUMBLE IN THE 3 STAR.

HE DIDN'T RIDE BARNEY RUBBLE, HIS SECOND RIDE BUT COMES ON HIS 5 STAR RIDE.

HE HAS BEEN CLEARED BY THE DOCTORS.

SINEAD SITTING NEXT TO MEERKS THE DRESSAGE YESTERDAY WAS OUTSTANDING BUT CROSS COUNTRY IS GOING TO BE A CREEL TEST.

>> I THINK I IS NOT GOING OUT WITHOUT A BANG.

THIS BEING HIS FINAL 5TAR COURSE DESIGN IS MAKING SURE MARYLAND IS KNOWN AS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST 5 STARS IN THE WORLD.

>> HE REALLY HAS.

AS YOU SAY, HE IS NOT GOING DOWN QUIETLY.

HE WANTS THIS TO BE A MEMORABLE FINAL 5 STAR AND IT IS-- WE WILL HAVE A NEW COURSE DESIGNER FOR 2025.

HE IS LOOKING AROUND, PLANNING HIS COURSE ALREADY, BUT IT IS ALL EVERYBODY'S COMING, EVERYBODY COMING THROUGH THE GATES SINCE EARLY HOURS.

TAILGATERS WILL WANT TO CHEER RIDERS ON AS THEY COME TO THE CECIL COUNTY BARRICADES.

HORSES WILL ENJOY A BREATHE AND ANOTHER LONG GALLOP ON THE TRACK BEFORE THEY COME TO AN AREA WE SAW SHAKE UP LAST YEAR SEA SAW MILL SLICING.

OVER RUPERT'S ROW THEY GO BEFORE THEY MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE VERY INFLUENTIAL WATER, THE MARS SUSTAINABILITY BAY, WHERE THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT TO TACKLE, OF COURSE, AGAIN THIS YEAR.

RIDERS MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE FOX HATCHER FLYER BEFORE COMING TO THE FAIR HILL INTERNATIONAL ROLLER COASTER AND DROP.

JUST A SPECTACLE ON THE COURSE, THEY WILL COME THROUGH THE ROLLER COASTER AND MAKE BY BIG DROP DOWN HERE AT THE DOWN BANK BEFORE NAVIGATING THE C AND D PORTION.

ONE MORE TABLE AND ONE MORE BIG FINAL GALLOP STRETCH BEFORE THEY COME TO THE FINAL COMBINATION ON THE TRACK AT THE BELGIUM OWL.

A QUESTION OF PRECISION AND MAKING SURE THAT YOU GET IT ALL DONE BEFORE THE FINAL FENCE ON COURSE, SCOTTY'S FAREWELL.

11:15 IS THE TIME ALLOWED AS RIDERS LOOK TO GET IT DONE ON IAN STARK'S FAREWELL TRACK AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YES, IT IS GOING TO BE A TOUGH CROSS COUNTRY TRACK OUT THERE.

RIDERS ARE WARMING UP, SPECTATORS ARE WARMING UP.

WE ARE WARMING UP.

THE TWO DAYS OF DRESSAGE SAW, THIS THE BROWN ADVISOR STANDINGS FROM THE TWO DAYS, TAMMY SMITH HER FORMER 5 STAR WINNER FROM KENTUCKY LAST YEAR, MAI BAUM SITS OUT IN FRONT.

THREE-TIME FORMER 5 STAR WINNER OLIVER TOWNEND, BALLAGHMOR CLASS, HE HAS WON EIGHT 5 STARS IN HIS CAREER.

WITH BUBBY UPTON AND COLA FIRST TO GO YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, 26.7.

SHE WAS A LOVELY TEST TO WATCH AND TIM PRICE, FALCO, FORMER WINNER HERE AND FORMER 5 STAR WINNER WITH FALCO AT POE.

THE INCREDIBLE STRENGTH AND DEPTH WE HAVE.

OLYMPIC RIDERS, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RIDERS, AWAY CRUISING, HIS BEST CAREER 5 STAR WITH BEING 6th OR 8th IN BADINGTON.

16S ON THE DRESSAGE, 34.5.

HE IS VIRTUAL REALITY FAST-- HE IS VERY FAST CROSS COUNTRY.

BUT SADLY FLORIDA FLUORESCENT ADOLESCENT WITHDREW.

WE ARE GOING TO GET A GOOD GAUGE TO HOW THIS IS GOING TO RIDE.

WELL, WE WILL BE BACK IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS FROM A VERY SHORT BREAK AND THE LIVE CROSS COUNTRY ACTIONS IS ABOUT TO BEGIN.

SO WE'LL BE BACK AFTER THIS VERY SHORT BREAK.

MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR EQUESTIAN, A BETTER WORLD FOR HORSES, PETS AND PEOPLE.

CECIL COUNTY WHERE FOOD AND PEOPLE BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.

TECHNICALLY ADVANCED GEAR, FOR HORSE AND RIDER AND GREAT WOLF LODGE.

BRING YOUR PACK TOGETHER AT THE GREAT WOLF LODGE NOW OPEN IN PERRYVILLE, MARYLAND.

THIS IS THE IRISH HORSE BOARD HARRY MEADE, AWAY CRUISING BEST PERFORMANCE AT BURLEY BACK IN 2018.

GRACE TAYLOR THERE.

ALLIE KNOWLES, BOYD MARTIN, COMMANDO 3, TIANA COUDRAY, ALL THE 5 STAR IS THIS YEAR HAVE BEEN WON BY MARES.

THE FIRST AWAY, HARRY MEADE.

NO BETTER MAN.

HE HAD TWO INSIDE THE TIME AT BURLEY.

HE RODE LIKE A DEMON.

I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN HIM RIDE BETTER.

WE HAD A CHAT WITH HIM ON THE CROSS COUNTRY YESTERDAY.

SHE ANYWAY.

HE IS A SINEAD.

HE IS A MAN THAT MEANS BUSINESS.

A LITTLE LIKE WILL COLEMAN, HE SAW ASTRAYED A COUNTRY MILE AWAY.

>> THAT BRINGS YOU BACK TO THE OLD DAYS OF STEEPLE CHASE RIDING WHERE YOU AK ACCELERATED TO THAT BIG BRUSH JUMP.

WE GREAT TO GET STARTED WITH THIS PARTNERSHIP.

HARRY HAS RIDDEN THIS HORSE SINCE HE WAS A FOUR-YEAR-OLD.

WE HAD A MASSIVE WATER RIGHT IN THE MEAT OF IT.

WHAT A BETTER COMBINATION TO GET US STARTED.

>> THAT'S THE FIRST MINUTE AT THE WATER AT FENCE 3AB AND THE SECOND MINUTE COMES IN THE MAIN ARENA.

HARRY READ.

THE BREEDER, DANE DEER AND PETER OE PPERMAN OWN.

THE BIG DOUBLE BRUSH HE SLIVERS THROUGH THE TOP OF.

HARRY CHECKS HIS WATCH.

HE WILL CROSS OVER.

GOING OVER THE RACE COURSE, CROSSES OVER INTO THE LITTLE TUNNEL THAT HEADS HIM INTO THE MAIN ARENA.

>> WE'LL SEE HIM COMING HERE FOR THE INQUIRIES.

I SAW HARRY WALKING ONE LINE AND THEN ANOTHER LINE AND ANOTHER LINE BECAUSE EVERY EBB SECOND IS GOING TO COUNT HERE.

WE SAW THE TOP OF THE SCORES.

THERE ARE SECONDS THAT WILL SEPARATE THE TOP SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, 10.

THIS BEAUTIFUL SHOT COMING INTO THE MAIN ARENA.

FIRST REAL COMBINATION ON THE COURSE.

>> HARRY'S EYE HASN'T MOVED.

>> SWINGS WIDE.

BIG BRUSH NARROW.

IS.

>> YES HARRY, 1, 2, 3... 1, 2, 3.

AND A STRETCH.

>> YOU KNOW, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THE THAT SECOND PART WALKS, WHEN YOU WALK THE DISTANCE, IT WALKS SHORTER THAN THE FIRST BUT THE HORSES ARE JUMPING SO BIG AND OUT OF THE LINE.

>> IF THAT CAME LATER ON, WE MIGHT SEE THAT JUMP VERY MUCH ON THAT THREE BUT I THINK WE ARE GOING TO SEE IF YOU GO THROUGH ON THE FOUR, DON'T YOU?

>> SLIT.

I THINK JUST HAVING WATCHED THAT, AND THEY'LL READ IT.

HORSES AT THIS LEVEL, THEY'RE NOT NEW AT THIS SPORT.

THEY BELIEVE THE BRUSH.

THEY CAN READ IT.

HERE A VERY CHALLENGING QUESTION COMING UP.

TWO BENDING RAILS.

WALKS ON THE LEVEL FOUR BUT I THINK WE WILL SEE IT AT 4 AND 5 QUITE UPRIGHT RAILS.

QUITE UPRIGHT.

>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT ACCENT I'M SPEAKING.

>> YOU HAVE BEEN SITTING WITH A BRIT TOO LONG.

JUMPS THE FIRST ONE, 2, 3, 4, 5.

>> AND I THINK WE'LL SEE A LOT OF THAT.

WE WERE OUT THERE FOR A WHILE EARLIER AND 4, 5 BUT BEAUTIFULLY DONE.

THOSE ARE ON MINIMUM WAGE CLIPS SO THE RAILS WILL COME DOWN.

SADLY WE SAW ONE OF OUR LEADER GOING OUT INTO THE CROSS COUNTRY TOOK A HARD FALL THERE BUT SHE IS UP.

ANYBODY THAT IS CONCERNED ABOUT KIRSTEN.

SHE IS UP AND WELL.

THE HORSE IS FINE AS WE ARE MOVING SWIFTLY TO THE SUNKEN ROW.

NOW THIS IS A BIG QUESTION.

IT'S ABOUT ONE IN AND ONE OUT.

BOUNCES UP.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT COMING OUT OF A COMBINATION FOR A LONG TIME.

HARRY MAKING THAT LOOK EASY.

IS HARRY MEADE GOING FIR SLIGHTLY LULLING OUR RIDERS INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY AS HE GOES PAST WHAT IS 7ABCD FOUR MINUTE MARKER AT EIGHT.

ANOTHER ENORMOUS... >> THESE RIDERS HAVE SUCH COMPLEXES OUT THERE THAT A TABLE LIKE THAT, THAT'S JUST PUTTING MONEY INTO THE BANK.

NICE EASY SHOT.

GIVES THE HORSE A GREAT FEEL AS HE HEADS UP TO THIS WATER WHICH HAS BEEN THE TALK OF THE TOWN.

>> THEY WILL ALL BE WATCHING THIS ON THE CLOSED CIRCUIT SELL VISIONS ALL AROUND THIS WONDERFUL PARK.

A LITTLE STICKY AWAY CRUISING AND THEY MADE IT LOOK SIMPLE.

>> YOU KNOW, FANTASTIC.

HE SAID I WOULDN'T CHANGE IT.

THERE IS A WATERFALL, WE CAN'T SEE FROM IT THIS ANGLE RIGHT NOW BUT THERE IS WATER COMING THROUGH THAT KEY HOLE BUT HE THOUGHT THE HORSES ARE GOING TO JUMP IN HAVE A SPLASH OF WATER ANYWAY SO THEY'RE GOING TO JUMP THROUGH THAT AND THAT WILL GIVE EVERYONE A LOT OF CONFIDEE.

>> HARRY HAS SEEM SOME GREAT STRIDES.

A GREAT MAN IN HOME COUNTRY AS WELL.

HE SCHOOLS A LOT OF HIS HORSES OUT IN THE HUNTING FIELD.

OF COURSE WE ARE ALL HUNTING IN THE U.K.

WITHIN THE LAWS.

THAT IS THE WARMUP AREA THAT WE HAVE JUST SEEN INTO AND OUT OF THE START BOX, GOES OUR NEXT COMBINATION AWAY.

THAT IS THE TURN OF LILIAN WITH THE GREAT CAMPAIGN.

LCC BARNABY OUT OF THE MARE, BY RAPHAEL, IS 38.6.

THEY'RE FORMIDABLE CROSS COUNTRY.

>> THIS IS THEIR TENTH 5 STAR START, RIGHT?

SO REALLY INCREDIBLE.

AND HUGE TESTAMENT TO LILIAN AND HER TEAM FOR KEEPING BARNABY HAPPY, SOUND AND FIT AND AFTER 105 STAR RUNS, MAYBE HE WILL BE RIDEABLE.

HE TENDS TO BLAZE OUT THERE GIVING LILIAN A HELL OF A TIME.

THE CROWDS ARE THERE BECAUSE THIS IS ANOTHER MASSIVE, MASSIVE TEST OVER THE RAIL, DITCH, HARRY SAID YESTERDAY HE WAS GOING RIGHT.

HE IS NOT.

HE IS GOING LEFT.

THREE STRIDES TO THE ARROWHEAD.

WE THINK THAT IS THE WAY THEY'RE GOING TO G. HE SAID I HAVEN'T MADE MY MIND UP.

I'M GOING TO GO BACK AND HAVE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT.

>> AND AGAIN, RIGHT AWAY UP TO THIS REALLY INTENSE PART OF THE COURSE, WE'VE GOT A BIG BOX HERE.

THREE STRIDES.

FOUR STRIDES.

THIS IS AGAIN, IAN SAID FOUR AND FIVE, THREE AND FOUR, JUST DEPENDON THE HORSE, ON THE WAY THEY COME INTO IT.

THE TAILGATERS UP THERE ARE ENJOYING THE ACTION OUT ON THIS WONDERFUL MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR TRACK PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY, RUPERT LANDSCAPE CROSS COUNTRY DAY.

$1.5 MILLION HAS BEEN SPENT ON THIS COURSE.

300,000 GALLONS OF WATER HAVE GONE OUT ON THE WATERING AND THEY GO DOWN THE LEMIEUX LANE AND OUT TO THE COUNTRY.

AERIAL VIEW OF HARRY MEADE AND AWAY CRUISING AS THEY CONTINUE.

>> AND THE WHOLE TALK HAS BEEN ABOUT THE TIME.

I SPOKE TO IAN LAST NIGHT.

HE SAID-- I SAID HOW MANY DO YOU THINK WILL COME INSIDE?

HE SAID NONE.

HE SAID MAYBE ONE.

LAST YEAR WE HAD ONE INSIDE THE TIME.

MIA FARLEY MOVED UP FROM TENTH TO I BELIEVE THIRD PLACE AFTER CRS COUNTRY.

AND... >> SHOW JUMPED WELL ON THE LAST DAY TOO, DIDN'T HE?

BUT YOU TALK ABOUT THAT ONE HORSE INSIDE.

OFF THE TRACK THOROUGHBRED THEY PAID $1 FOR.

JOANIE MORRIS, ONE OF OUR ORGANIZERS HERE, BUT IAN STARK IS NOT MESSING AROUND.

>> NO, HE IS NOT.

I MEAN HE IS REALLY LEAVING HIS MARK HERE ON THIS COURSE.

THIS IS A SUPER, SUPER HUGE PULL AND WE SAW SOME REALLY INTERESTING NOTES FROM ECHO RATINGS AND THEY LET US KNOW ACTUALLY THE MOST INTENSE PARTS OF THE TRACK ARE THE 9th AND 10th MINUTE.

>> HE IS HEADING TOWARDS THAT NOW.

AS HE COMES ROUND TO WHAT WE CONSIDER A MASSIVE QUESTION, AWAY CRUISING, ME LOOKS LIKE HE IS JUST STARTING TO LABOR BUT IT'S A LONG, LONG PULL UP HERE.

THEY NEED TO JUST GET THEIR WIND BACK, JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH, GET THE AIR BACK INTO THEIR LUNGS BEFORE THEY TURN TO INTO TWO ENORMOUS SAW MILL CORNERS, OVER A DITCH ANDVER THE WATER AND AWAY CRUISING LOOK TO THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, HARRY HAS DONE A BRILLIANT JOB, GOING LONG AT THE SECOND PART, VERY QUICK THINKING.

>> WE WALKED THIS.

THIS ISN'T GOING TO TAKE THAT MUCH TIME.

IF YOU HAVE A MESSUP IN THE FIRST ONE, AWAY CRUISING BACKING OFF, RUNNING OUT OF STEAM.

TWO VERY SMALL JUMPS THERE AS HE RECOVERS.

IT KIND OF BREAKS UP THIS HILL A LITTLE BIT.

WE'LL WAIT TO SEE.

HE WILL CATCH HIS WIND AT THE TOP.

DIDN'T TAKE MUCH EXTRA TIME TO SKIP OUT ON THE SECOND CORNER.

NO PENALTIES THERE.

QUICKLY MADE THE FLOON GO LONG.

>> AWAY CRUISING 17 YEARS OLD COMES UP TO THE FENCE, ANOTHER BIG SQUARE FENCE BEFORE THE MARS WATER.

THIS IS TOUGH UP HERE.

THE CRAB WATER, THE MARS SUSTAINABILITY BAY.

>> I'M HERE FOR YOU.

>> THANKS.

>> TEAMWORK.

>> THAT IS TEAMWORK, JUST ABOUT THERE, HE'S GOT TWO MINUTES TO GO HOME.

HE IS GOING TO BOUNCE.

>> SO THIS IS THE LONG OPTION.

HE CAN DO THE BOUNCE.

>> AND THE 3 STAR QUESTION, THE 3 STAR CRAB IN.

AND I THINK HARRY MEADE IS PULLING UP.

: HE IS.

LOOKS A LITTLE BIT TIRED.

LOOKS A LITTLE BIT MAYBE...

HE MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT SHORT, HE LOVES HIS HORSES.

I THINK HARRY'S CHILDREN ARE AT HOME WATCHING.

THE FLAGS ARE FLYING FOR GREAT BRITAIN AS LCC BARNABY JUMP OUT OVER THE BIG IN THE VALLEY.

>> AND YOU KNOW, INCREDIBLE SHOUT OUT TO HARRY STARTED OUT BLAZING BUT YOU CAN SEE WHEN HE GOT TO THE WEDGES, THE SLICES AT THE TOP, AWAY CRUISING JUST STARTED TO LOSE A LITTLE STEAM AND MADE SUCH A WONDERFUL CHOICE, ALWAYS PUTTING THE HORSES FIRST AND THAT'S WHA WE DO OUT HERE AT THESE BIG TOP EVENTS AS LILIAN COMES TOWARDS THE WATER.

AND THAT WILL GIVE SO MUCH CONFIDENCE.

BARNABY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A SECOND GLANCE AT THAT.

EMILY HAM EL OVER AIR CORVETT.

>> CORVETT AIRLINES.

CORE CORVETT IS ONE OF THE FAVORITES ALONG WITH WABBIT.

I JUST LOVE SAYING IT.

CORVETT, ANOTHER LOVELY HORSE WHO HAS BEEN JUMPING ALL AROUND THE WORLD 17 YEARS OLD.

THIS WAS BREAD BY DORIS SHIMMER OWNED BY THE BLACK FLAG OPTION STARTED WITH DRESSAGE 19th PLACE.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO MATTER ON THE CROSS COUNTRY TODAY BECAUSE TIME IS GOING TO BE CRUCIAL.

SHE IS TURNING NOW TO THE FIRST OF THE WATERS, JUST A SPLASH THROUGH, GET THE FEET WET.

>> JUST A SPLASH THROUGH.

>> TWO MASSIVE BOXES.

EASY TO STAY HERE.

JUST A SPLASH THROUGH FOR EMILY.

GET THEIR FEET WET BEFORE THEY HEADNTO THE MAIN ARENA AND THIS HORSE SO PHENOMENAL LONG TIME PARTNERSHIP WITH EMILY AND CORVETT.

SHE ENDED UP ABLE TO PURCHASE THIS HORSE WHEN SHE GOT ON THE MARKET.

SHE GOT ALONG WITH HER SO WELL.

THIS DOUBLE BRUSH COMING UP.

SHE IS NOT GIVING UP.

WE ARE GOING BACK TO LCC BARNABY AND LILIAN HEARD WOOD AND SHE IS UP AT THE...

IT'S A QUESTION COMING DOWNHILL TO JUMP THE RAILS.

SHE IS GOING GO LEFT AS WELL.

AND WE WALKED, I MEAN WHY WOULD YOU?

>> AND I ACTUALLY SPOKE TO IAN ABOUT THAT AS WELL AND HE SAID I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF NO ONE ATTEMPTS IT.

>> AND HE WOULDN'T BE UPSCET.

THAT'S WHAT HE SAID, DIDN'T HE?

LILIAN HEARD WOOD COMING DOWN TO THE HUGE FENCES, 1, 2, 3.

HE GOES THREE.

1, 2, 3... >> ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

18 YEARS OLD.

THREE AND THREE.

WOW.

JUST FOR THE RECORD.

THERE IS NOT A 3 THERE BUT THERE IS A 3 THERE.

THAT'S CROSS COUNTRY RIDING.

GETS TO THE END OF THE REINS, SEE WHAT'S THERE AND MAKES IT HAPPEN.

IS THAT IS SO FANTASTIC.

SUCH AN INTENSE PART OF THE COURSE.

YOU'VE GOT THAT MASSIVE COFFIN QUESTION UP TO THE COMPLEX HERE OBVIOUSLY WE THOUGHT THERE WAS A 3 AND 4 AND A 4 AND 5 BUT THERE IS A 3 AND 3.

>> AWAY FROM THE LEMIEUX LANE, LCC BARNABY UP TO THE NT QUESTION.

I SAY QUESTION, IT'S A SINGLE FENCE.

LET UP FENCE IN CROSS COUNTRY TERMS FOR THESE 5 STAR HORSES.

HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS HAVING A BRILLIANT TIME.

THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF HIS LAST 5 STARS AS WELL AS MAI BAUM'S LAST 5 STAR.

GREAT TO SEE SOME OF THE OLDER HORSES HERE AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY.

THIS IS THE RUSSELL LANDSCAPE CROSS COUNTRY DAY.

THEE HAVE DONE ALL THE GROUNDWORK ALONG WITH TYSON, HIS TEAM AND JAMIE, THEY HAVE DONE A BRILLIANT JOB IN DRESSING THE FENCES.

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL TRACK TO WALK.

IT'S A BEAUTUL TRACK FOR SPECK TAILTOR HIVE SPECTATORS AND TAILGATERS AND THEY'RE ALL HERE TO SEE NOT ONLY THE 5 STAR, THE 3 STAR THAT PRECEDE THIS AS LILIAN HEARD WOOD COMES UP TO JUMP WHAT WE SAW HARRY MEADE JUMP THE FIRST ONE BUT NOT THE SECOND.

WENT LONG.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT LILIAN HAS GOT PLAN A IN HER HEAD TO GO STRAIGHT, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.

AND THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO BE REACTIVE.

AS HARRY WAS SO QUICK.

TAKING HER TIME.

>> AND YOU CAN SEE IT'S A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE VIC VICARAGE.

STAYING TIGHT ON THE LINE.

>> I THINK SHE IS GOOD.

>> WE AREOT ON THE CAMERA ANGLE.

THERE ARE ABOUT 50 CAMERAS OUT THERE.

VIDEOINGS THE LANDING LINE.

SO THAT CAN BE REVIEWED BY THE GRAND JURY THE PRESIDENT CHRISTINA CLING KLINGSPOR, VALERIE PRIDE AND XAVIER LE SAUCE.

I WOULD SAY THEY WILL GO TO THE SUSTAINABILITY BAY.

>> IT LOOKS LIKE SHE HAD A LOT OF HORSE COMING IN.

YEP.

BOUNCED DOWN.

IMPORTANT TO GET A POWERFUL SHOT UP THIS.

7, 8.

WELL DONE LILIAN.

>> YOU CAN HEAR THE CROWD GOING WILD.

THEY'RE SCREAMING BEFORE SHE HAS EVEN FINISHED THE EXERCISE.

SO MUCH OF AN OPPORTUNITY HERE FOR LILIAN AS WE HAVE OUR NEXT STARTER ON COURSE COSBY GREEN, HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS AFTER DAY ONE IN THE DRESSAGE.

>> HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS IS BY THE FABULOUS RUSSELL.

RUSSELL OF COURSE WAS A MEDALIST AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN BEIJING AND THIS IS SUCH A LOVELY HORSE.

NOW SECOND 5 STAR FOR COSBY.

SHE ROSE AT BURLEY WITH COPPER B, RIDING HER SECOND 5 STAR BUT FIRST TIME 5 STAR FOR HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS.

14-YEAR-OLD GRAY GELDING.

THEY START THE DRESSAGE, OVERNIGHT LEADERS IN DAY ONE, 6th PLACE ON 28.

>> AND I MEAN THIS IS ONE OF OUR FASTEST COMBINATIONS ON COURSE.

SO WE ARE REALLY WILL BE WATCHING THE TIME HERE.

I THINK LILIAN WILL BE SETTING THE STANDARD AS COSBY JUMPS INTO THE FIRST WATER.

EASY.

JUST A PUDDLE LIKE SPENCER SAID EARLIER.

PUDDLE IN AND OUT.

DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, LILIAN IS GOING TO BE HEADING TOWARDS THE END OF THE TRACK.

14 SECONDS LEFT TO GO.

AND WE DO SEE 68.6 ADDED THERE.

IT LOOKS LIKE THEY MIGHT HAVE GIVEN HER A 20 BUT WE'LL CONFIRM THAT LATER.

>> SHE HAS BEEN GIVEN A 20-- WELL, IT WILL BE AT 17 AND 18.

THAT'S THE DOUBLE OF CORNERS.

COSBY GREEN MAKES HER WAY FROM THE DOUBLE BRUSH UP TOWARDS THE MAIN ARENA.

>> COSBY BASED OVER IN THE U.K. AS WE GET A SHOT BACK AT EMILY HAMEL AND CORVETT.

WE SEE SOME ADDITIONS TO HER SCORE AS WELL.

SO WE WILL GET THAT TO YOU ONCE WE FIGURE OUT WHAT THOSE ADDITIONS CAME FROM.

BUT LOOKS LIKE SHE IS FLYING AS WE ARE BACK TO COSBY COMING INTO THE MAIN ARENA.

IT'S RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US.

SO OUR LAST TWO RIDERS THAT CAME IN HERE, THEY DID IT ON THE 3 AND THE 4.

SO WE'LL SEE WHAT COSBY DOES.

HARRY WENT THREE AND THREE, DOESN'T MATTER AS LONG AS YOU GO FROM ONE TO 2 TO 3.

>> 1, 2 3-RBGS.

WHOA.

GOOD JOB THERE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ATHLETICISM THERE.

THE HORSE JUST BENDING IN THE AIR AND REACHING FOR THE JUMP, REALLY UNDERSTANDING.

WE HAVE SERD THAT EMILY HAD HER 20 AT THE COFFIN.

>> SHE DID.

>> WE'LL GET SOME FOOTAGE TO YOU AS WE RECEIVE IT AS WE SEE COSBY GALLOPING OUT TO THE INFIELD.

THIS IS A REALLY INTERESTING QUESTION BECAUSE IT'S WIDE OUT IN FRONT OF YOU, THE RACETRACK.

THE HORSES DON'T KNOW THE RAILS ARE COMING.

IT'S UP TO THE RIDER TO SET IT BACK TO SHOW JUMPING CANTER TO HAVE A NEAT NIPPING KNEE BENDER HERE.

>> LILIAN HEARD WOOD HAS GOT POTENTIAL PENALTIES AT 17, 18.

I THINK MORE THE SECOND OF THE CORNERS AND SHE HAS HAD ANOTHER POTENTIAL PENALTY AT FENCE 22, WHICH IS THE MARS EQUESTRIAN ANGLES.

THAT'S QUITE INTERESTING.

I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THOSE TWO BRUSHES COMING AT THE WATER BUT THE JUDGES WILL PUT THE PENALTIES ON TO BE TAKEN OFF.

SO COSBY LOOKING REALLY FANTASTIC AS SHE COMES UP TO THE YANMAR SUNKEN ROAD WHICH CAUSED SO MUCH TROUBLE IN THE 3 STAR BOUNCE ON THE WAY IN.

BOUNCE TO A NARROW TRIPLE ON THE WAY OUT.

A TROP STEP.

VERY CLEVER.

FANTASTIC.

>> SO REFLECTIVE.

YOU KNOW, I WONDER, TOO, THE 5 STAR GETS TO KIND OF SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME THERE.

A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN THE SUNKEN ROAD.

3 STAR HORSES WAS ABRUPT TURN AND THIS GIVES THEM A SECOND TO SETTLE.

>> AND THEY HAD THE FENCE BEFORE, DIDN'T THEY.

IT CAME UP QUICKLY.

HERE COMES CORVETT.

WITH THOSE 20 PENALTIES THEY PICKED UP COMING THROUGH THE COFFIN UP THE BANK.

1, 2 AND 1.

>> WE SAW EMILY.

WE TALKED TO HER AT THAT COMBINATION YESTERDAY.

SHE SAID SHE WASN'T GOING TO COUNT THE NUMBER ACROSS, JUST WANTED A WONDERFUL JUMP UP THE BANK.

BACK TO COSBY WHO IS FLYING AND SHE HAS COME HERE WITH SO MUCH CONFIDENCE, SPENCER.

>> SHE HAS.

HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS THE 14 JEERLD BY THE GREAT JUMPING SIRE AND DOESN'T EVEN TAKE A LINE IN THE WATERFALL IN THE WEARNTD THEY GO ON.

THIS IS A GOOD ROUND FOR THEM.

CORVETT AND EMILY HAM EL HAMEL DOWN TO THE MASSIVE FENCE HER DRESSAGE SCORE OF 36.2.

SHE HAS A MINUTE 20 TO GET HOME.

>> WE HAVE SEEN HER SCORE MOVE AROUND A LITTLE BIT.

WE ARE BACK ON THE DRESSAGE SCORE.

>> EMILY HAD BEEN GIVEN THE 20 PENALTIES AT FENCE-- AT THE COFFIN.

THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY.

THE COFFIN BEING THE TEST, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY.

>> OH, NO AND YOU JUST UNFORTUNATELY COULD SEE THAT HE JUST ADDED A STEP ON THE WAY DOWN AND THIS HORSE IS NOTHING BUT BRAVE, BUT HE CAN BE A LITTLE BIT OPINIONATED.

IT IS A VERY NARROW TRIPLE BRUSH THERE.

STRIDING DIDN'T WORK OUT.

HIS FOCUS WASN'T ON IT SO UNFORTUNATELY A RUN OUT THERE AND PERFECTLY ON IT ON THE WAY OUT BUT VERY UNFORTUNATE RIDE AT THE END OF THE TRACK.

STILL WAITING TO HAVE OUR FIRST CLEAR ROUND HOME.

>> WE ARE.

20 PENALTY WERE TAKEN AWAY BUT THAT WILL BE 20 PENALTIES ON HER CARD NOW AND THEY HAVE BEEN ADDED THERE DAVID DOEL IS ON COURSE WITH A DRESSAGE OF 34.5.

HERE HE IS.

THIS IS A FABULOUS HORSE.

15-YEAR-OLD DUTCH BRED GELDING.

AND WE ARE BACK WITH COSBY GREEN.

SHE HAS JUST HAD A LITTLE BIT OF AN ISSUE AT THE BOTTOM THE BANK.

THE LOG.

THAT'S THE FIRST-- SECOND REFUSAL AT THE LOG.

20 FOR THE FIRST REFUSAL.

40 PENALTIES FOR THE SECOND REFUSAL.

>> YOU CAN SEE SHE IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT TO DO AND REALIZES ALL SHE CAN DO I TRY AGAIN.

GETS IT DONE.

JUST SOMETHING THERE THE HORSE DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND BUT SHE GOT IT BACK DOWN TO EMILY AS SHE JUMPS THE LAST SCOTTY.

SCOTTY'S FAREWELL GOES PART THE SCOTTAGE FLAGS WHICH TURN INTO THE FRENCH FLAGS.

THERE.

69.0, 32 SECONDS OVER.

NOT TOO BAD ACTUALLY.

32 SECONDS AND THAT WILL GIVE HER A HANDFUL OF TIME PENALTIES.

>> UNFORTUNATE JUST TO HAVE THE PENALTIES THERE AT THE END.

AS WE SEE COSBY GALLOPING DOWN THE LANE HERE WITH ADDING PENALTIES FROM THAT, SO SHE WILL NO LONGER BE AT THE TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD BUT STILL GOING OUT FOR THE EXPERIENCE, SHE IS NOT BACKING OFF.

YOU CAN SEE SHE CAME AROUND FOR THE THIRD ATTEMPT AND SHE WAS GOING.

BACK TO DAVID DOEL WHO HAS BEEN PINNED AS THE FASTEST HORSE IN THE FIELD F. ANYONE CAN DO IT, THIS GUY CAN DO IT.

>> LET'S HOPE DAVID CAN.

NICK TURNER WHO TRAINED HIM, HAS DONE A GREAT JOB AND HE EMERGED AND DAVID WENT THROUGH THE ARENA ON 3 AND 413-YEAR-OLD DUTCH BRED GELDING.

HE WALKED THAT WITH NICK.

HE WALKED ON THE 4.

AND HE RODE EXACTLY WHAT HE-- >> IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

BEAUTIFULLY DONE.

HE IS NOT ONLY THE FASTEST BUT THE MOST RELIABLE HORSE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

HE HAS HAD ONE CROSS COUNTRY FAULT IN HIS ENTIRE INTERNATIONAL CAREER OVER 30 CROSS COUNTRY RUNS IN MORE THAN SIX YEARS.

I MEAN THAT IS INCREDIBLE.

>> INCREDIBLE.

DAVID IS SUCH A GOOD RIDER.

HE HAS PRODUCED A LOT OF HORSES UP TO THE 5 STAR LEVEL B THIS IS A VERY EXCITING HORSE AND YOU KNOW, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AGES OF HORSES, YOU KNOW, DAVID-- ONLY 13 YEARS OLD, A LOT OF RUNNING STILL IN THIS HORSE, WHICH IS REALLY, REALLY EXCITING.

>> AND YOU KNOW, THESE GUYS COMING OVER HERE, THEY ASK FOR IT.

HAVE YOU TO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR.

THEY WANTED A BIG CROSS COUNTRY TRACK.

THEY DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE A DRESSAGE COMPETITION AND IT IS PROVING TO BE THAT TODAY.

>> SADLY COSBY GREEN HAS RETIRED WITH HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS AFTER PROBLEMS ON THE BANK.

DAVID DOEL SAILSZ OUT OVER THE PARALLEL BAR.

THOSE BIGGIE NORM US DUBARRY OF IRELAND AND THE CASCADE.

THIS, AGAIN THAT HAS WATER.

LOOK AT THE CROWDS UP THERE.

JUMPS IN WELL, FUL STRIDE ACROSS.

>> BEAUTIFUL RIDE AND DAVID RODE SO BEAUTIFULLY.

HE WAS VERY CONFIDENT.

COMING UP TO THAT RIGHT BEHIND DAVID, ENCOURAGING SMACK ON THE SHOULDERS SAYING COME ORGANIZATION YOU GOT THIS.

EASY DOWN TO THAT BIG WATERING HOLE THAT THEY HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH.

CAUSING NO ISSUES HERE.

JUST A GREAT TIME TO PUT MONEY IN THE BANK.

THERE IS A BIG DROP.

YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE BACK SIDE OF THAT AS HE TAKES AWAY ACROSS, REALLY LOOKING FOR OUR FIRST HSE JUST CLEAR.

>> YEAH, WE ARE LOOKING FOR THAT FIRST ONE, COULD IT BE DAVID DOEL?

AND GALILEO NIEUWMOED.

AND AWAY FROM THE START IS BUCK DAVIS AND SOROCAIMA, FORMER RACE HORSE OFF THE TRACK THOROUGHBRED RAN IN A NUMBER OF FLAT RACES.

1, 2, BACK-TO-BACK VERY QUICKLY AND THEN MOV INTO THE WORLD OF EVENTING AND BUCK HAS BUILT A BRILLIANT RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS HORSE, 34 FOR THE DRESSAGE.

13th PLACE IN THE SHOW JUMPING PHASE AND WE HOPE FOR GOOD THINGS BECAUSE BUCK HAS NOT BEEN A HAPPY HUNTING GROUND ALL THE TIME HERE AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR.

LET'S HOPE HE HAS A BETTER DAY HERE TODAY.

>> IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE ON A THOROUGHBRED.

THEY HAVE TO CARVE OUT AND COME BACK INTO THIS BIG WATER.

IT'S A MAX TABLE.

THEY HAVE TO JUMP IN ACROSS THE SPREAD.

THEY LAND ON THE GRASS, RUN THROUGH THE PUDDLE.

AND OUT YOU GO AS THEY TAKE OFF BACK AGAIN TO THE MAIN ARENA.

>> YEAH, THE KIDS ARE YELLING, HE MADE IT.

HE'S GOT A LITTLE BIT TO GO GUYS SO HANG ON.

>> WE SAW EARLIER IN THE 3 STAR, RIDING BUCK'S FATHER BROWN SUGAR, THE MARE HAT HAD TO RUN OUT THROUGH THE MAIN ARENA.

BUT BUCK'S FATHER WAS ON SO MANY CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS AND REPRESENTED THE USA ON MANY, MANY OCCASIONS.

HE IS A TRUE LEDGE END OF THE SPORT AS BUCK JUMPS THE BUCKEYE BRUSH ALONGSIDE THE RACE COURSE PROPER ABOUT TO POP HIMSELF INTO THE MAIN ARENA.

>> LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO, A GENERATION OF DAVIDSON'S HERE BECAUSE BUCK'S LITTLE GIRS WERE JUST IN THE PONY RACES UP AT THE TOP.

TAKING PICTURES WITH GRANDPA BUCK.

>> IT WAS SO LOVELY.

>> GRANDPA BRUCE.

>> DID YOU NEARLY CALL HIM GRANDPA BUC >> DIFFICULT.

>> I SAW THE LEAD PONY RACES.

WE HAVE THE CORGI RACING TOMORROW, THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR.

IT IS JUST SO CUTE TO WATCH BUT THE LEAD REINS WERE EVEN BETTER.

BUCK INTO THE MAIN ARENA.

>> WE'VE SEEN THIS ON THREE AND THREE AND THREE AND FOUR.

THE HORSES ARE BEAUTIFULLY LISTENING.

>> SUCH A SCOPE, AND HONESTLY THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD WAY TO DO IT.

THE HORSES ARE JUMPING OUT IN THE THREE STRIDE, CAN'T MAKE THE TURN, GET THE TURN DONE EARLY AND RIDE OUT, WELL PLANNED.

LIKE HE HAS DONE THIS BEFORE.

>> YOU DON'T REALLY GET TO SEE THE ENORMITY OF THESE FENCES.

THEY'RE OVER A MASSIVE DITCH AND GALILEO NIEUWMOED NEARLY EMERGED.

I MEAN I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO RUN AT THE FIRST ONE.

>> THE SECOND ONE IS SET BACK FURTHER, ISN'T IT FROM THE EDGE OF THE WATER AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE TAKE OFF SPACE FOR THE HORSES BUT HAD A REAL LOOK, DAVID JUST CLAMPED HIS RIGHT LEG ON AND SAID NO, COME ON.

WE GOT TO GET THROUGH.

YOU CAN SEE-- WATCH THAT RIGHT LEG.

SO BOLD TO STAY ON THAT.

WE SAW HARRY DO THE OPTION BECAUSE HE DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION RIGHT AWAY RIGHT IN FRONT OF AS HE COMES AROUND.

THAT WILL GET REVIEWED BY OUR GRAND JURY.

UP THE BANK A FEW ANXIOUS MOMENTS ON THE CROSS COUNTRY.

DAVID IS SUCH A SUPERIOR CROSS COUNTRY RIDER, HE WILL BE TRYING NOW TO PUT SOME MONEY BACK IN THE BANK.

GIVE THIS HORSE THE CONFIDENCE TO GET HOME BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THE BIG MASSIVE QUESTIONS ARE NOW BEHIND HIM.

HE HAS GOT MORE TO COME AND IT'S NOW ABOUT JUST CRUISING HOME, FASTEST HORSES WE KNOW IN THE FIELDS.

ON THE CROSS COUNTRY.

ONE JUMPING POLE IN 30 INTERNATIONAL STARTS.

AND DAVID, IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY COME TO THE TOP OF THE HILL.

THEY GET TO THE CRAB WATER AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY NEED TO TAKE A PUFF.

>> AND INTERESTING BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN A FEW OLDER HORSES AND A FEW MORE EXPERIENCED HORSES THAT REALLY PICK UP ON THE LINES EARLIER.

THIS IS LIKE YOU SAID, STILL QUITE A YOUNG HORSE FOR THIS LEVEL AND HE IS REALLY BELIEVING IN HIS RIDER AND DAVID IS BEING VERY, VERY CONFIDENT, SHOWING HIM WHERE THE LINES ARE.

HOLDING HIS HAND SAYING THIS IS WHERE WE ARE GOING NO QUESTION.

HERE WE SAW A PROBLEM EARLIER WITH EMILY HAMEL AND CORVETT AND STILL JUST HAVING THAT LITTLE THOUGHT RIGHT BEFORE HE LEAVES THE GROUND WHETHER IS THIS THE RIGHT ANSWER?

>> THAT WAS A SUPERB AERIAL VIEW WASN'T IT FROM CLIP THERE THE MYHORSE.T CAMERA AND YOU SAW THE HORSE, AND DAVID WAS NO, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE GOING.

HEADING TOWARD LEMIEUX LANE.

ENORMOUSLY WIDE TABLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL.

NEEDS TO RESPECT AS THEY GET TO THE BOTTOM.

THAT IS AT THE TIMBER BEAM 23 AND TRISH'S TABLE.

TRISH WAS THE ORGANIZER AT FAIR HILL FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

WE HAD A GREAT SENDOFF FOR HER A FEW MONTHS AGO AT THE CRAFT PARTY.

>> NOT MUCH TOO TO DO HERE.

HE'S GOT 48 SECONDS TO G HOME AND THREE JUMPS IN THE WAY OF HIM BEING... >> MASSIVE OWL HOLES.

NOT MUCH ROOM FOR HORSE AND RIDER.

>> HE IS GOING TO DO IT.

>> YEAH, HE IS.

>> HE IS GOING TO GET INSIDE THE TIME.

HE HAS ONE JUMP LEFT DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL.

33 SECONDS.

WELL INSIDE THE TIME.

IT'S DOABLE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

WOW.

DAVID DOEL CROSSES THE LINE, 24 SECONDS INSIDE THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT IS SO INTERESTING, RIGHT, AND WE WILL SEE HOW WE DO HERE, GO BACK AND REVIEW THE PENALTIES.

SPEAKING TO IAN LAST NIGHT, WE'VE GOT THAT BUCK HERE TAKES THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE SUNKEN ROAD AS HE HEADS UP TO THE BIG BOXESES BUT TIME BEING THE QUESTION, THEY DID SO MUCH WORK ON THE GROUND BUT THEY WERE ALMOST WORRIED THE GROUND GOT A LITTLE HOLDING AFTER ALL THE WATER AND PUNCHING BUT WE'VE HAD A SUNNY, BRIGHT DAY.

I THINK THE GROUND IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

IS HE GOING GET THE TURN.

OH YEAH WE'LL REVIEW THAT.

I'M NOT SAYING YES.

I HAVE NO AUTHORITY HERE.

TONS OF COMMITMENT AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

YOU CAN SEE JUMPING INTO THE FLAGS FOR BUCK.

HE KNEW THE QUESTION.

IT'S JUST WHETHER THAT CAMERA ANGLE PICKS IT UP THAT HE KEPT BOTH SHOULDER INSIDE THE TRACK BUT HE IS FLYING.

>> WE WILL BRING YOU NEWS ON DAVID DOEL JUST AS SOON AS WE HAVE THAT.

BUCK HAS BEEN GIVEN A QUESTION MARK.

I THINK HE IS OKAY BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT.

-- THERE IS THE CAMERA.

YOU JUST SAW A BRIEF SHOT OF IT.

AS HE GOES NOW TO THE NEXT FENCE.

>> HE IS FLYING AROUND.

LOTS OF QUESTIONS AROUND HERE.

I MEAN THIS IS WHY WE HAVE ALL THESE CAMERAS ANDOUBLE CHECKS AND DOUBLE CHECKS.

>> AND ANXIOUS MOMENT, JUMPING RIGHT OUT OF HER HANDS IN THE MAIN ARENA, GRACE TAYLOR AND GAME CHANGER.

THEY WERE HELD TO THE FIRST HORSE INSPECTION.

THEY DID A FAIRLY GOOD TEST YESTERDAY.

34.1 LYING IN 14th PLACE BY THE 12-YEAR-OLD BY KASS BY, THE DAM STORM CHASER BY TITUS LIVIUS.

THEY WALK THE COURSE TOGETHER.

THEY'VE WALKED IT ON THEIR OWN AND GRACE IS ONE OF THOSE UP AND COMING RIDERS.

SHE RODE FOR GREAT BRITAIN FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND CHANGED OVER TO HER MOTHER'S NATIONALITY OF THE USA.

COMING TO THE CORNERS AND HE IS GOING THE DIRECTOUTE.

THIS IS A DIFFERENT CAMERA ANGLE.

JUMPS THE FIRST, THEN GOES LONG.

AS HARRIED HARRY MEADE DID.

>> YOU CAN SEE THE HORSES NOT COMING AROUND THE TURN.

IT'S NOT THAT MUCH LONGER, IT IS ONE MORE JUMPING EFFORT BUT THIS HORSE LOOKS FULL OF RUNNING.

I THINK THAT WAS THE SMART RIDE.

FOR SOME REASON THEY'RE COMING AROUND THE TURN AND THE MOST HONEST GENUINE HORSES ARE THINKING THAT'S A TREE THEY SHOULD RUN BY.

AS HE HEADS UP THE HILL TO MARS SUSTAINABILITY BAY.

I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR HELP THERE SPENCE?

>> I THOHT YOU HAD IT BECAUSE YOU'VE HAD IT ALL DAY.

>> EVERY NOW AND THEN WE HAVE TO SHOW WE ARE HUMAN.

>> OKAY, WILL BUCK GO DIRECT?

I THINK HE WILL BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE TURNING IS HIS PROBLEM AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE SOROCAIMA IS NOT BEING THAT EASY TO TURN, BOUNCES IN.

BUCK SITS UP.

NOW COMES TO THE STEP UP.

ONE STRIDE, DOWN TWO STRIDES, FIRST ANGLE BRUSH IS ONE STRIDE TO THE SECOND.

>> SO IMPRESSIVE.

WHAT A HORSE!

YOU KNOW, THIS IS SUCH AN IMPRESSIVE RIDE.

THE HORSE IS FULL OF RNING, SO GENUINE, AGAIN YOU CAN SEE SOME STEERBILITY ISSUES BUT THE HORSE, AS SOON AS HE SEES THE JUMP, HE IS ON IT AND BUCK WAS JUST KIND OF A PASSEER, THE HORSE SAID HANG ON.

I'VE GOT THESE BRUSHES IN MY EYE LINE AND I'M JUMPING THEM.

THIS IS SUCH A HUGE QUESTION, YOU KNOW, DOESN'T GIVE IT JUSTICE FROM THIS ANGLE BUT THERE IS JUST A MASSIVE DITCH.

>> WE DIDN'T SEE THE FIRST OF THOSE CORNERS AT THE SAW MILL SLICES.

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHY HE HAD GONE BELONG BUT HE HAS BEEN GIVEN A MISSED FLAG THERE AS WELL AT THE FIRST.

SO I WONDER WHETHER HE HAS BEEN RUNNING A LITTLE BIT RUNWAY AND THEN THE OTHER, THIS HORSE, WHETHER HE RAN RIGHT.

HE HAS A TACK MALFUNCTION GOING ON WITH THE BREAST PLATE DETACHED FROM THE GIRTH.

SEE THAT FLAPPING AROUND.

YOU CAN HEAR BUCK SAYING WHETHER THEY'RE GLOPPING LIKE THAT, IT HELPS FOCUS AND TUNNEL THE CONVERSATION AND THAT'S WHERE YOU SAW BUCK HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF AWE TROUBLE AS HE WAS DROPPING DOWN THE DROP.

THE HORSE LISTENED AND CAME BACK BUT BECAUSE THE MARTIN GAIL HAS BROKEN, IT MADE THE COMMUNICATION A LITTLE LESS FOCUSED.

>> TS IS, AGAIN, A POINT THAT HAS BEEN MADE BECAUSE HORSE ANALYST TYPE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT HORSES GALLOPING WITH THE LEATHER FLAPPING BETWEEN THEIR LEGS IS TAKING THEIR FOCUS OFF OF THE RIDER.

YOU HAVE SEEN SOME RIDERS, I'VE SEEN SOM RIDERS GRAB IT AND TRY TO TIE IT UP TO THE BREAST PLATE.

NOT FAR OFF THE TIME.

I THINK THE GROUND IS PERFECT RUNNING OUT THERE.

IT'S QUICKER GROUND THAN WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE.

THE TIME IS GOING TO BE GETTABLE.

WELL, THERE BUCK DAVIS AND 13 SECONDS AND HE WILL HAVE 5.2 TIME PENALTIES.

WE ARE HEADING TO A BREAK AND WE WILL BE BACK VERY SHORTLY HERE AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR.

WE ARE BACK NOW WITH LINDSAY TRAISNEL.

EIGHTH AFTER THE DRESSAGE JUMPS THROUGH THE SUJEN ROAD.

WE SAW MOMENTS AGO, HAVING AN ANXIOUS MOMENT, THE FIRST OF THOSE SAW MILL SLICES, THE FIRST CORNER TOOK THE LONG ROUTE AND ON SHE GOES TO THE MARS SUSTAINABILITY BAY WATER.

>> AND IT IS ALL GOING ON.

WE'VE GOTLAG PENALTIES.

WE'VE GOT-- SHE HAS TAKEN THE LONG WAY AT THE MARS SUSTAINABILITY BAY COMING AROUND HERE JUMPS THE 3 STAR JUMP IN.

SHE IS REALLY GOING TO EVERY AID PLUS SOME EXTRA ONES TO MAKE SURE THAT GAME CHANGER KNOWS WHERE THE GAME IS.

AND... >> SHE IS GOING TAKE A TURN HERE.

PERFECTLY PERMISSIBLE BECAUSE THEY'RE SEPARATELY NUMBERED D AND A VAIT NUMBER THERE.

GAME CHANGER IS JUST LOOKING A LITTLE BIT WEARY BUT THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE SEEN HORSES LOOK TIRED AS LINAY TRAISNEL AND BACYROUGE JUMP THROUGH TO THE SECOND OF THE WERS UP THERE AT THE BROWN ADVISORY CANOE AND CASCADE.

>> LINDSAY HAVING REPRESENTED CANADA AT THE PAN AMERICAN GAMES WITH THIS HORSE AS WE HAVE ALLIE KNOWLES OUT OF THE BOX ON MORSWOOD.

SHE HAS HAD HER BLOOD UP ALL DAY.

WE ARE EXCITED TO SEE HER OUT ON THE TRACK.

>> MORSWOOD IS SUCH A LOVELY HORSE AND THIS IS A 16-YEAR-OLD BIRY ADDER COMPANY OUT OF THE MARES PRINCESS IN ARMS.

DAMSIRE OWNED BY KATHERINE O'BRIEN.

32.4 DRESSAGE LYING IN 11TH PLACE.

GRACE TAYLOR HEARD, SHE IS GOING TO BE A FAIR BIT OFF OF THE OPTIMUM TIME OF 11:15.

THAT GRACE TAYLOR'S SCORE HAS DISAPPEARED AND I BELIEVE THAT SHE HAS RETIRED AT SFENS FENCE 24.

ALLIE HEADING UP INTO THE MAIN ARENA.

WE HAVE HEARD WORD THAT THERE HAS BEEN THAT RETIREMENT.

BUT HORSE AND RIDER OKAY.

>> YEAH, THEY'RE FINE.

JUST THEY WERE LOOKING A LITTLE BIT TIRED.

THERE WE CAN SEE GRACE TAYLOR AND GAME CHANGER.

THEY JUST JUMPED INTO THE DITCH.

THERE.IN FACT, WERE ELIMINATED BUT, YEAH, IT WAS A VERY SAD END OF THE DAY, JUST TIRED NES.

ALLIE KNOWLES IN FULL STEAM AS SHE GOES AWAY FROM THE DOUBLE BRUSH ON TOWARDS THE FIRST PROPER COMBINATION.

WE'VE SEEN THE FIRST COMBO AT 3A AND 3B.

THIS THOUGH HERE IN THE MAIN ARENA.

WE JUST SAW LINDSAY TRAISNEL GO THROUGH ON 4 AND 4.

WHAT WILL ALLIE KNOWLES DO BECAUSE SHE IS A BRAVE GIRL AND THIS IS QUITE A BIG STRIDING HORSE.

WE GO BACK FOR THE TIME BEING DOWN THE LEMIEUX LANE IS LINDSAY TRAISNEL WITH BACYROUGE.

>> SO FAR, DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A GOOD ROUND?

LOTS TO COME THOUGH.

THESE WEDGES AND SLICES UP AT THE TOP CAUSING A LOT OF TROUBLE , BUT LINDSAY ACTUALLY THIS IS HER FIRST 5 STAR WITH THIS HORSE WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE SHE HAS REPRESENTED CEA CANADA AT THE PAN AMERICAN GAMES.

LEADING UP TO THE COMPETITION THIS LAST WEEK AND I THINK SHE HAS GOT EVERYTHING TO PLAY FOR.

>> SHE REALLY HAS.

IT'S A LOVELY COMBINATION TO WATCH.

A LITTLE DEEP THERE COME ON LINDSAY.

YEAH, JUST GETS A LITTLE CLOSER AND THAT WILL WAKE HER UP, BUT WE'VE GOT A LITTLE PROBLEM IN THE MAIN ARENA FOR ALLIE KNOWLES.

ALLIE HAD TO STOP AT THE THIRD ELEMENT OF THE MAIN ARENA COMBINATION, JUST DECIDING WHAT SHE-- I THINK SHE IS SAYING NO, I'M NOT CARRYING ON.

I'VE HAD AN EARLY PROBLEM.

THAT'S IT.

I'M DONE, THANKS VERY MUCH.

ANWILL BE GOING ON.

AND UNFORTUNATELY LINDSAY HAS BEEN HELD JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED DOWN AT THE FENCE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL WITH GRACE TAYLOR AND WITH GAME CHANGER SO SHE BE BEES HELD FROM COURSE BUT SHE WILL GET BACK UNDER WAY VERY SHORTLY.

THE ONE RIDER INSIDE THE TIME THAT HAS DEFIED IAN STARK OF HIS -- >> HE SAID MAYBE ONE.

>> MAYBE ONE.

PROBABLY NONE.

BUT IT IS OF COURSE GREAT BRITAIN'S DAVID DOEL AND HE CAUGHT UP WITH OUR ROVING REPORTER FRANKIE.

>> DAVID DOEL, A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE OUT THERE ALL THE WAY AROUND THIS COURSE PROVING VERY, VERY TRICKY AND WE HAVE SEEN THAT ALL MORNING MAKING IT BACK TO THE FINISH BOX BUT YOU PROVE TO EVERYBODY THAT YOU CAN GET INSIDE THIS TIME TALK ABOUT THE RIDE.

>> WASN'T THE MOST STRAIGHTFORWARD OF RIDES.

PHENOM THAT WILL HORSE TRYING TO MP BETWEEN THE FLAGS ALL THE WAY AROUND.

WANT THE PRETTY AT TIMES.

>> PRETTIER THAN MOST.

WE'LL SEE SO FAR BUT ANYTHING ON THE TRACK THAT SURPRISED YOU AND RODE DIFFERENTLY THAN ACCORDING TO PLAN?

>> THE UNDULATIONS, YOU KNOW, REALLY CHANGE WHAT STRIDE YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE COMING ON A LITTLE BIT.

THE FENCE GOT THERE QUICKER THAN I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO AND SO WE HAD TO STAND OFF A LITTLE BIT BUT HE IS A SWEET HORSE, SO HE JUST MADE IT HAPPEN.

>> ANOTHER GOOD CROSS COUNTRY ROUND FOR YOU GUYS AND DEFINITELY FACT FDING GOING ON IN THE BOX AND WE DO NOW KNOW THAT THE TIME IS GOING TO BE GETTABLE.

>> WELL, SHE MIGHT THINK IT'S GETTABLE, BUT DAVID DOEL IS ONE OF THE FASTEST IN THE FIELD.

I DON'T THINK WE'LL SEE ANYBODY NEAR THAT.

WE SAW BUCK DAVIS WITH A FEW TIME PENALTIES A FEW SECONDS OVER.

IT IS GOING TO BE TOUGH.

BOYD MARTIN, GREAT TO SEE HIM.

WE ALSO SAW TIANA COUDRAY IN THE BACKGROUND AFTER HIS TIP UP THIS MORNING.

REALLY SAD TO SEE AT THE SECOND OF THE CORNERS JUST DIDN'T GET HIGH ENOUGH.

BUBBY UPTON LYING IN THIRD PLACE.

THEY'RE ALL TALKING, ALL DISCUSSING.

IT'S NESH US ANXIOUS MOMENTS.

THEN YOU HAVE A HOLD AND IT MAKES YOU EVEN MORE NERVOUS.

OUR BRAINS ARE FUNNY THINGS.

>> LINDSAY HAVING A SIP OF WATER THERE AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, IF YOU ASKED ANYONE, WOULD YOU LIKE A HOLD OR NOT, YOU ARE GOING SAY ABSOLUTELY NOT.

IT CAN MESS UP YOUR RHYTHM BUT IT GIVES THE HORSE A CHANCE TO CATCH THEIR BREATH.

LIPPEDZY ON HER HORSE KNOWN IN THE BARN AFFECTIONATELY AS DREAMY.

>> YAY!

>> OUR GUYS OUT ON COURSE MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS SAFE AND READY AND EVEN FIELD OF PLAY.

THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON HERE AND WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE AN EVEN COMPETITION FOR EVERY HORSE AND RIDER THAT GOES OUT MAKING SURE SHE IS GROUND RAILS ARE SAFE, MAKING SURE THE BRUSHES ARE CLEAR AND CLEAN.

AND THEY'LL GIVE LINDSAY, THEY'LL HAVE STOPPED HER TIME GIVE HER A WATER.

SHE CAN HAVE A CHAT.

>> BUCKETS OF WATER THERE TOP RIGHT OF THE SCREEN.

THAT'S FOR IF SHE DOES WANT TO GIVE BACYROUGE ANY WATER.

HE CAN HAVE A DRINK.

BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT LIKE US DRINKING A BOTTLE OF WATER AND THEN GOING TO RUN A MARATHON.

IT CAN REALLY PLAY WITH US.

SO HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HAD HIS MOUTH WASHED OUT, A LITTLE BIT OF A RINSE.

BUT THE MAIN ARENA FENCE IS BEING RETEARED.

WE SAW THAT A SECOND OR TWO AGO.

BUT THAT WAS BECAUSE OF ALLIE KNOWLES AND MORSWOOD WHO JUMPED RIGHT INTO THE FRONT OF THAT FENCE.

AND THEY'RE NOW JUST HAVING A LITTLE BREAK BECAUSE OF THAT COURSE REPAIR GOING ON.

WE KNOW THAT FENCE AT THE BOTTOM IS BEING REPAIRED AT THE BOX CATCHER FLYER AND ONE OF THE MAIN ARENAS BEING RETEARED AS WELL.

WE'LL HAVE A BREAK.

WELL BACK UNDER WAY, LINDSAY TRAISNEL AND BACYROUGE IS COMING UP TO THAT INFLUENTIAL FENCE NOW SUCH A PARTNERSHIP.

SHE HAS RIDDEN THIS HORSE SINCE SHE WAS FOUR YEARS OLD.

IF ANYBODY IS GOING TO GET IT DONE, IT WILL BE THIS COMBINATION.

MAKING SURE THAT DREAMY IS READY.

KNOWS THAT BUSINESS HAS GOT TO GET DONE HERE.

>> YEAH, CONDITIONAL COMTOGETHER FIRST QUARTER BACYROUGE, FIRST 5 STAR, JUMPS OUT THE SIDE.

>> AGAIN, JUST DOESN'T QUITE LOCK ON TO IT.

SO UNFORTUNATE THERE REALLY CAUSING PROBLEMS ALL AROUND THE COURSE.

SHE HEADS OVER FOR THIS OPTION QUITE A LONG WAYS AROUND.

JUMPS THAT TABLE, YOU TURN BACK AROUND AND JUMP THE TWO LITTLE TABLES ON THE WAY OUT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A REALLY LONG ROUTE.

YOU CAN SEE THERE THAT LINDSAY HAD DECIDED SHE WANTED TO TRY THE FIRST ROUTE.

SHE IS HERE AT THE 5 STAR TO BE COMPETITIVE AND WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO BE COMPETITIVE, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A MISTAKE NOW AND THEN.

DIFFICULT TO BE HELD THERE TO LOSE STEAM AND HAVE TO START BACK ON THAT BUT AWAY WE GO, A LOT OF JUMPS LEFT TO BE JUMPED AND THE WAY THAT THIS IS TURNING OUT, IF YOU CAN HAVE A QUICK ROUND WITH JUST A 20, YOU MIGHT BE OKAY.

YOU CAN PROBABLY MAKE IT TO THE TOP 10 LINDSAY WITH 20 PENALTIES ON HER CARD BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT IT GOING ROUND AND WE KNOW IT WAS GOING TO BE TOUGH.

WE KNEW THE TIME WAS GOING TO BE TIGHT.

WE STILL HAVE LOTS OF QUESTION MARKS OVER FLAG ISSUES.

SHE IS GOING LONG.

SENSIBLE RIDING.

ALREADY HAD ONE PROBLEM, IS GOING TO JUMP THE 3 STAR DIRECT ROUTE INTO THE WATER.

LOOKS LIKE SHE IS GOING LONG AGAIN.

THE HORSE HAS CAUGHT HIS BREATH.

HE STOOD STILL FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES DOWN THERE SO SHE IS GOING HAVE A BIT OF TIME AND BE OUT THERE LONGER WITH THE LONG ROUTES BUT IT'S ALMOST LIKE STARTING A NEW COURSE SO SHE IS JUST TAKING CARE OF DREAMY.

WANTING TO GET THE COMPLETION, NOT ANOTHER 20 ON THIS ROUND.

SHE IS STILL NAVIGATING AROUND.

THIS IS THE PART THAT IS SO COMPLEX THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO WALK THE DIRECT ROUTE.

YOU HAVE TO THINK AND THINK AND THINK.

BUT THEN YOU NEED TO KNOW ALL YOUR OTHER OPTIONS AND UP AT THAT TOP WATER, THERE ARE ABOUT FIVE DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN NAVIGATE THAT WITHOUT GETTING PENALTIES.

BUT YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO CROSS YOUR TRACKS WHEN THE JUMPS ARE NOT NUMBERED SEPARATELY.

SHE IS FLYING DOWN THE HILL.

WILL HAVE THIS BIG LOG AND THEN TURN DOWN TO THE DITCH BRUSH WHICH CAUGHT OUT GAME CHANGER.

>> GRACE TAYLOR JUMPED INTO THE FACE OF THAT FENCE.

OKAY.

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A REGULAR LINE DOWN TO THAT FENCE.

>> YOU KNOW, AND IT JUST... >> HAND THE HAND GOES UP AND THAT'S VERY SAD FOR LINDSAY TRAISNEL AND BACYROUGE.

>> UNFORTUNATELY I THINK JUST THAT SWITCHED OFF A LITTLE BIT IN THE TIME DOWN.

LOOKED SO GREAT IN THE BEGINNING BUT UNFORTUNATELY JUST NOT LOCKING O.

YOU SEE HIM HERE, AND I MEAN IT'S REALLY HARD.

>> SHE SHAKES HIS HEAD.

NO.

>> THESE ARE BIG JUMPS THAT NEED TO BE JUMPED AND YOU KNOW IT SOUNDS WILD BUT THERE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF ADRENALINE, A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PUMPINGP AND YOUR BLOOD GOING THAT YOU NEED FOR THAT BRAVERY TO GET LOCKED ON FOR THAT FOCUS AND UNFORTUNATELY SOMETIMES WHEN YOU HAVE THAT PAUSE IN THE MIDDLE, THAT JUST GOES DOWN A LITTLE AND THESE JUMPS LOOK A LITTLE BIGGER ANDATION HARDER AND YOU THINK WOULD I LIKE TO SAVE THIS FOR ANOTHER DAY.

SO WE HAVE BOYD TROTTING AROUND ON COMMANDO ON THE START BOX DOWN THERE, THIS, A REALLY BEAUTIFUL HORSE.

I BELIEVE THIS IS FIST HIS FIRST 5 STAR.

HE DID WIN THE 4 STAR LONG AT TRYION LAST YEAR SECOND AT THE 4 STAR SHORT AT KENTUCKY.

FLEW TO PARIS AS A RESERVE FOR BOYD AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES AND IS HERE TO WIN.

>> HERE TO WIN.

HE WAS A WINNER IN 2021, THE INAUGURAL RUNNING OF THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY.

THEN TIM PRICE IN 2022 WITHAS COUP, THEN LAST YEAR, AUSTIN O'CONNOR PUT TO BED 58 YEARS OF WAIT FOR ANOTHER 5 STAR WIN WITH COLORADO BLUE.

HE CREATED HISTORY.

THIS GREER THIS YEAR THERE IS GOING TO BE A NEW NAME ON THE TROPHY.

HORSE WISE THAT IS, WE HAVE NO RETRNING HORSES TO WIN THE 5 STAR.

BUT THIS MAN COULD PUT HIS NAME BACK ON THE TROPHY WITH COMMANDO.

FIRST 5 STAR IS GOING TO BE A BIG QUESTION FOR THIS HORSE.

HE IS A VERY TALENTED HORSE.

HE HAS GOT THE MAN IN THE SADDLE THAT IS SO CONFIDENT WITH THEM 11 BY YEARS, CONNOR 48, THE DAMSIRE AMIGO,S NOW BOYD, DON'T LET THE ADRENALINE GO TO YOUR HEAD BECAUSE HE HAS MADE SILLY MISTAKES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR IN THE PAST SO JUST COMING DOWN TO THE THIRD.

FIRST QUESTION.

JUST SAID EXACTLY THE SAME AGAIN, HITS THE TARP, DOESN'T MAKE THE BACK RAIL AND THERE IS A VERY WET BOYD MARTIN COMMANDO.

>> YOU CAN HEAR THE IT GOES, THAT DOES CREATE A BIT OF A CUSHION ON LANDING.

YOU KNOW, APOLOGIZE FOR MY GASP.

BUT... >> I THINK IT WAS GRANTED HE CAME AROUND SLOW TO GET UP.

ROUGH DAY FOR BOYD.

IT'S SO TRICKY.

HE IS IN THE GYM.

I KNOW I FOLLOW BOYD A LOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND I KNOW EVERYTHING THAT HE DOES.

>> THERE HE IS WALKING AWAY.

GOOD TO SEE BOYD WALKING AWAY.

>> HE IS IN HIS DOWNSTAIRS GYM AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING WORKING OUT.

HE HAS HIS PERSONAL GURU WITH HIM HERE THAT HAS GOT HIM MENTALLY SOUND RIGHT THERE.

HAVE YOU A PICTURE OF HIM.

>> I HAD MY PICTURE TAKEN AT PLANTATION FIELD.

>> SO MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY.

I MEAN HIS KIDS ARE HERE, THEY HAVE BEEN OUT IN THE KIDS CORNER AND SEE HIM JUST UNTUCKING HIS SLIGHTLY WET SHIRT AND WE ARE ALL JUST HONESTLY SO THANKFUL TO SEE HIM UP, TO SEE HIM... >> THE FACT THAT THEY WERE DOWN THERE AT FENCE 3 AS WELL IS NOT A USUAL PLACE FOR THEM TO STAND, IS IT?

BUT THEY WOULD BE NEAR A BIG SCREEN, THAT'S WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WATCHING.

SILVER WITH THE MOST AMAZING-- I'VE GOT HIS NUMBER IN MY PHONE.

HE SAID GIVE ME A RING, SPENY.

THERE IS COLA AND BUBBY UPTON.

BUBBY IS PINNED BY THE GREATINGS.

SHE HAS RISEN UP 9% TO TAKE THIS TITLE.

MAI BAUM AND TAMMY SMITH FORMER 5 STAR WINNERS, IT'S THEIRS FOR THE TAKING.

BUBBY IS A VERY TALENTED GIRL.

SHE HAS MEDALLED AT JUNIOR YOUNG RIDERS.

SHE HAS RIDDEN THE 5 STARS.

SHE HAS YET TO WIN ONE.

ABOUT YOUNG LADY WOULD DEARLY LOVE TO DO SO.

>> YOU KNOW, THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THAT FIGHT AND THAT YOUTH THAT YOU NEED.

YOU KNOW, YOU NEED THAT BRAVELY GOING ON ON THIS COURSE SO FAR.

IT HAS BEEN A TRICKY TRACK.

WE ALL KNEW IT.

NOBODY WALKED THIS AND THOUGHT AH, YOU KNOW, IAN HAS GONE A BIT SOFT.

IT'S A BIG BOLD TRACK AND THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN SPREAD THROUGHOUT.

THERE IS NOT JUST ONE BOGEY FENCEMENT THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES THROUGHOUT.

WE SEE BOYD UP THERE AGAIN WITH SILVA, LIKE WE SAID, SO DISAPPOINTING BUT HE IS HEALTHY, FINE, BACK TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY.

AND MAYBE LATER TODAY.

WE WILL SEE HOW HE FEELS ABOUT GOING OUT LATER THIS AFTERNOON BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THIS LADY ON COLA.

SHE GIVES HIM A PAT.

SHE KNOWS THIS HORSE SO, SO WELL AND SHE WOULDN'T HAVE PUT THE HORSE ON THE PLANE TO FLY ACROSS AN OCEAN IF SHE DIDN'T FEEL PRETTY CONFIDENT.

>> NO, SHE WOULDN'T.

SHE HAS HAD HUGE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT FROM THE HOUGHTON WAY ALONG WITH PRESENTING SPONSORS HERE AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR.

THEY HAVE BEEN BRILLIANT, JUST INCREDIBLE SUPPORT FROM BROWN ADVISORY AS WELL WITHOUT THEM SHE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.

WITH THIS LOVELY LOVELY 14-YEAR-OLD.

THE DAM CONTENDER AND DAM DAMSIRE.

CONTENDER IN THERE, THERE ARE SOME REAL CLASS AND BUBBY IS A VERY HUNGRY GIRL.

SHE HAS RIDDEN SOME BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT HORSES IN HER VERY YOUNG CAREER.

SHE WAS VERY ILL-- NOT VERY ILL. SHE HAD A VERY BAD FALL WHICH ENDED UP IN HOSPITAL.

SHE HAD TO LEARN TO WALK AGAIN.

SHE HAD TO LEARN TO DO EVERYTHING AGAIN.

I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME SHE CAME OUT OF HOSPITAL.

I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME SHE GOT BACK ON A HORSE.

SHE CRIED.

AND THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO THIS YOUNG LADY.

WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE.

WE HAVE ALL HAD THOSE TERRIBLE ACCIDENTS AND TERRIBLE FALLS, WHERE MOST OF US HAVE RIDDEN UP THROUGH THE LEVELS BUT SHE IS NOTHING BUT TOUGH AS THESE RIDERS ARE.

WILL WE SEE BOYD BACK?

I HOPE SO.

I REALLY DO.

IT LOOKED A FAIRLY SOFTBALL FALL BUT WE NEVER KNOW.

LET'S KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED.

A QUICK LOOK AT THE LEADERBOARD.

THUS FAR DAVID DOEL STILL CARRIES THE 30 FOR TWO MISSED FLAGS.

64.5.

EMILY HAMEL SECOND, CORVETT 69.0.

BUT SAVED DAVIDSON ON SOROCAIMA CARRYING PENALTIES, UNDER INVESTIGATION AT THE MOMENT SITS THIRD AND LCC BARNABY, LILIAN HEARD WOOD IN FOURTH ON A SCORE OF 109.6.

SO BUBBY UPTON IS GETTING HERSELF BACK UP INTO SOME SORT OF CROSS COUNTRY MODE, GETTING THE ADRENALIN GOING AGAIN ABOUT OF SHE HEADS BACK TO THE START BOX.

ONCE THOSE PENALTIES HAVE BEEN REVIEWED, WE WILL, OF COURSE, LET YOU KNOW.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE THING.

I THINK WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS THEY'RE AWARDING THE PENALTIES NOW.

THEY'LL GO BACK AND REVIEW BUT AS YOU CAN TL WATCHING THINGS ARE COMING THICK, THEY'RE COMING FAST.

THE GROUNDS CREW NEED TO KEEP THEIR ATTENTION ON WHAT IS GOING ON NOW AND REVIEW THE PENALTIES SO LIKE SPENCER SAID, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW AS WE FIND OUT.

BUT NOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THIS LADY ABOUT TO GO INTO THE START BOX.

SHE HAS BEEN COOL WALKING AROUND.

SHE IS GETTING THE BLOOD UP LIKE YOU SAID A LITTLE BIT.

IT'S AN IMPORTANT AND DIFFICULT THING TO MANAGE THIS WARMUP IT'S AN 11:15 TRACK IF YOU MAKE THE TIME.

AND SO YOU DON'T WANT TO WASTE THE HORSE IN WARMUP BUT YOU NEED TO GET THEM WARMED UP ENOUGH THAT THEIR BRAIN IS SWITCHED ON, THEIR BODY IS SWITCHED ON BECAUSE LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT, THE FIRST WATER WHERE BOYD JUST HAD HIS FALL IS AT THE FIRST MINUTE.

AND IT REALLY STARTS HAPPENING QUICK.

>> THREE FENCES ONE MINUTE.

SECOND MINUTE IN THE MAIN ARENA.

WITH ONE FENCE IN BETWEEN.

THEN IT STARTS COMING THICK AND FAST.

THE QUESTIONS START COMING.

BUBBY UPTON, COUNTDOWN UNDER WAY.

AND SHE IS ON COURSE.

SO GREAT BRITAIN BUBBY UPTON WITH MOTHER RACHEL UPTON'S COLA LEAVES THE START BOX.

THEY WON THE VERY GOOD 4 STAR SHORT CLASS AT THE RECENT INTERNATIONAL IN THE U.K. >> IT'S GREAT TO SEE THESE PARTNERSHIPS.

WE HAD TO MUTE NEWERS HORSES AT THE LEVEL BUT THIS HORSE AND RIDER, GREAT PARTNERSHIP.

BEEN TOGETHER SO LONG.

WHEN YOU ARE GOING OUT, THAT'S WAUGH WANT, WHEN YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING LOOK OUT AND SEE AND FEEL AND SO I'M EXCITED TO WATCH THIS GIRL TACKLE THE COURSE.

WE NEED A GOOD RUN TO GET ALL OF OUR CONFIDENCE BACK UP.

I THINK SHE IS THE LADY THAT CAN DELIVER IT.

>> YEAH, LET'S KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED.

SHE COULD STAY IN THIRD PLACE IF SHE GOES CLEAR.

IF SHE GOES INSIDE THE TIME, SHE WILL CERTAINLY GO TO THE TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD.

BUT THAT TIME, WE KNOW IS PRETTY DIFFICULT TO GET.

NOW THAT'S WHERE COMMANDO JUST CLIPPED THE BACK OF THAT VERY WIDE TABLE AND AS THE HORSE CLIPPED THE TOP, THAT'S WHAT THEN CAUSED THE KNUCKLE AND THE EVENTUAL FALL AT THAT FENCE.

BUT GREAT TO SEE THEM BOTH WALK AWAY.

THE VETS WERE THERE VERY QUICKLY, MEDICS WERE THERE VERY QUICKLY, HORSEIDER AND WELFARE IS VERY QUICK.

>> WATCHING THIS HORSE'S EXPRESSION.

THIS IS THE HORSE YOU WANT TO BE SITTING ON.

IT'S A SMART HORSE.

LOOK AT THAT.

>> SUPER MAN.

>> BUT YOU KNOW, THE HORSES CAN UNDERSTAND AND CAN READ AND PLACE THEMSELVES TO THE FENCES AND WHEN YOU HAVE A HORSE LIKE THIS WITH SUCH AN INTELLIGENT LOOK ABOUT HIM, A BIG UPHILL GALLOP, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE DOING THIS TOGETHER.

IT'S NOT A RIDER TELLING THE HORSE WHAT TO DO.

IT'S A PARTNERSHIP AND WATCHING THIS HORSE STUDY THE JUMPS, THAT'S WAUGH WANT TO BE SET ON.

>> AS SHE COMES UP, THIS SHOOTS TO THE MAIN ARENA, WE WILL GET GLIMPSE MH HER ANY SECOND NOW FROM OUR COMMENTARY POSITION IN THE CORNER OF THE MAIN ARENA AND HERE SHE COMES.

GRIT, DETERMINATION WRITTEN ALL OVER HER FACE.

COLA, BUBBY UPTON, GREAT BRITAIN MAKE THE TURN.

ARE SHE GO 3 AND 3, 4-3, 3 AND 4?

1, 2, 3, 4, AND JUST HAD TO REALLY CLOSE DOWN FOR THAT FOURTH STRIDE.

>> YOU KNOW, BUT SHE REALLY TRUSTED COLA.

SHE JUST SAT AND TRUSTED THE SCOPE.

YOU CAN SEE THIS HORSE HAS GOT SCOPE FOR SIX STARS.

SO SHE COULD BELIEVE IN THAT EVEN THOUGH THAT'S A MASSIVE BRH AND SHE WAS ON A SHORT DISTANCE.

SHE COULD BELIEVE AND JUST LET HIM JUMP UP AND WRAP AROUND IT WHICH WAS QUITE EASY ON THE HORSE.

SOME OF THE HORSES COMING IN ON THE THREE IS A BIG REACH BUT JUST LETTING HIM STEADY, LET HIM FOCUS AND THAT IS GOING TO BE WHAT IS REQUIRED TO GET THE HORSES AROUND.

LETTING THE HORSES STUD AGREE DAVID DAVID DOEL'S PENTAGONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY.

CLEAR INSIDE THE TIME HE COMPLETES ON 34.5.

HE IS THE SCORE TO BEAT.

NEVER WON A 5 STAR.

COULD IT BE HERE?

THIS LADY WILL WANT HER OWN 5 STAR, 2, 3, 4.

>> EASY.

>> BEAUTIFULLY DONE THERE.

ENCOURAGING THE HORSE, GIVING THE HORSE A PAT.

JUST DISAPPEAR DISAPPEARING THEN FROM THE DOUBLE OF RAILS AT 6A B., THAT'S JUST PAST THE 3 MINUTE MARKER, NOW IT'S 7ABCD, THE SUNKEN RODE.

YANMAR SUNKEN ROAD AT 7.

REAL ATHLETICISM.

SO THE BOUNCE, THE ONE STRIDE, THE BOUNCE.

>> REALLY, REALLY NICE.

I HAVE WATCHED THIS COMBINATION A COUPLE OF TIMES AND RIGHT NOW I'M GOING TO SAY SHE IS RIDING WITH A LEVEL OF MATURITY AND CALMNESS MAYBE WE HAVEN'T SEEN AS MUCH.

THIS LOOKS VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE.

I'VE WATCHED HER GO OUT ON COURSE AND MAKE THINGS HAPPEN BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE MATURITY IS COMING IN, THE BELIEF, THE TRUST AND THEY'RE JUST REALLY RIGHT NOW MAKING THIS LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL.

>> AREN'T THEY.

A BEAUTIFUL STRIDE, JUST CAME ROUND THE CORNER, ROLLED DOWN.

NO CHANGE IN RHYTHM, NO CHANGE IN THE WAY BUBBY RODE AND IT JUST WAS SUPER, SUPER TO WATCH.

NOW TO THE FENCE THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN.

IT IS THE WATER, IN, OVER, A LITTLE REMINDER, 3, 4, AND SUCH PERFECT TIMING.

YOU CAN SEE SHE STAYED SOFT IN THE ARNL, SOFT IN THE REIN GOING TO HER STICK AND PERFECT QUICK TIMING, COME ON, YOU GOT THIS BUT NEVERISTRACTING THE HORSE FROM WHAT THE HORSE IS LOOKING AT WHAT DO YOU WANT THE HORSE TO THINK ABOUT GOING INTO THE JUMP?

THE JUMP.

>> THERE HAVE BEEN STUDIES SAYING HITTING A HORSE ON THE SHOULDER IN THE SHOW JUMP, (INAUDIBLE) BUT SHE DID IT AS SHE TOOK OFF TO ENCOURAGE HIM TO GO FORWARD AND TO GET ON WITH THE JOB IN HAND.

TIANA COUDRAY IS AWAY.

SHE HAS BEEN OVER IN THE U.K. SHE HAS DONE SO MUCH EVENTING IN THE U.K. AND SHE HAS BEEN WITH THE LIKES OF BOMB BA de LA QUESTA, SO MANY AMERICANS GO TO EUROPE TO COMPETE IN EUROPE, TIANA COUDRAY IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE THE SUPPORT THAT THEY GET WHEN THEY ARE OVER-- BUT THE TRANSITION FOR THE UPCOMING RIDERS UNDERSTAND THEY'RE REALLY SHINING, CASSIE SANGER ANOTHER OF THEM PLACED AND THE DEVELOPMENT SQUADS THAT ARE FORMING THAT CAME OUT TO THE U.K. AND TO EUROPE EARLY ON UNDER LESLIE LOUDER TRAINING AND THE EXCHANGE GOING TO EUROPE.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT... >> THAT PIN JUST COMES DOWN.

THAT.

>> THAT WAS A WORRY OF OURS, WASN'T IT.

>> YES.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH WE SAW TWO HORSES EARLIER HIT IT WITH THEIR HIND LEGS WHEREAS HE REALLY DID GET IT WITH THE FRONT AND WITH THE HIND LEGS.

SAFETY HUGELY IMPORTANT.

THE RAILS AND PINS INTO ED TO COME DOWN AND WE ALL KNOW THAT AT SOME POINT, WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE... >> JUST BANK THAT.

IT'S SUDDENLY FROM THAT MOMENT, THE RAIL AND IT'S NOT SEPARATE GENERALLY HIVE IT IS SEPARATELY NUMBERED.

I THINK THAT CORNER, ISN'T IT?

SO SHE COULD DO THAT.

SHE SHE WOULD BE CARRYING THE 15, THE 11 PENALTIES FOR THE RAIL THAT SHE HAD AT THE COFFIN.

THE BIG BARRICADES ARE 13AB.

>> SO SEPARATELY NUMBERED THERE AS WE SEE TIANA HEADING INTO THE RING INTO THE ARENA FOR THE BIG QUESTION.

I BELIEVE SHE HAD A FABULOUS FINISH WITH MARE AT BADINGTON.

>> AND AGAIN THEY SUPPORTED HER AT GOOD CLINIC.

WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED THERE.

AND THE PROJECT PONY PLUS, THEY HAVE HAD SO MUCH GOING ON.

>> THEY'RE JUST FUN AGREE WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED THERE.

>> I'M NOT SURE.

THINK TIANA IS THINKING THE SAME THING.

>> THAT'S WHY I ASKED YOU.

SHE IS GOING TO RETIRE.

AND CANCARAS GIRL IS NOT PLAYING BALL TODAY.

>> SHAKING HER HEAD.

>> GOOD FOR HER TO COME BACK AROUND AND JUMP IT AND SAY THIS IS FAR AROUND AND WE ARE NOT ON THE SAME PAGE.

SHE CAME AROUND THE TURN, JUMPED INTO THE WATER, BIG TABLES AND CANCARAS GIRL JUST SAID I'M NOT PLAYING TODAY.

GOOD FOR HER.

SAVE IT FOR ANOTHER DAY.

HOME BUT HERE WE HAVE BUBBYLK UPTON WITH 52.7 ON THE CARD.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE SHE HAS GOTTEN THE 11.

SHE HAS BEEN GIVEN THE 20 AM I RIGHT.

>> BEEN GIVEN AN 11 AND 5.

THAT WAS FOR THE.

>> RAIL.

>> NO, THE 11 CAME AT THE RAIL.

15 CAME FROM MISSED FLAG AT THE CORNER HERE SHE IS COMING AROUND TO THE OPTION.

AGAIN, LOOKED MAYBE LIKE THERE WA JUST A LITTLE BIT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT WHICH WAY, COLA SEEMED TO GET CONFUSED ABOUT WHERE SHE WAS HEADING TO.

BUT CHALLENGING STILL HEADING UP THE TRACK LEER, DOING A GREAT JOB, MAKING IT UP AS SHE GOES AT TIMES WHICH IS HONESTLY WHAT HAVE YOU TO DO AT THE 5 STAR LEVEL SOMETIMES.

>> SO ALL THE 5 STARS HAVE BEEN WON BY MARES.

CANCARAS GIRL WON'T MAKE IT SIX.

BRONTE BEACH IS LEFT IS THE ONLY OTHER MARE IN THE FIELD WITH EMA KLUGMAN.

35.6 OUR CURRENT LEADER 34.5.

AND SHE IS GOING GO DIRECT.

BRAVE GIRL.

>> SUPER SHOT.

WOW, YOU KNOW, THE THING IS, SHE HAS FLOWN ALL THE WAY OVER HERE.

SHE HAS HAD A LITTLE PIN HERE, A FLAG THERE, BUT SHE IS GOING TO GET EVERY BIT OF EXPERIENCE, EVERY BIT OF LEARNING, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO SCHOOL A QUESTION LIKE THAT.

SHE IS HERE GETTING IT DONE ON THE TRACK, BUILDING ON THE RESUME, BUILDING ON THE KNOWLEDGE AND THAT WAS TOP CLASS.

>> WELL HERE IS TAMMY SMITH.

THIS IS WHERE IT'S GOING TO GET RIGHTLY INTERESTING.

TAMMY WITH MAI BAUM.

MAI BAUM DRESSAGE 25.3.

LEADERS AFTER FIRST PHASE, KENTUCKY WINNERS LAST YEAR.

CAN SHE MAKE IT A SECOND 5 STAR WIN WITH THIS HORSE?

SHE CREATED HISTORY WHEN SHE WON KENTUCKY.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMIN FOR THE AMERICANS AT KENTUCKY.

BUT SHE DID IT AND CAN SHE MAKE IT THE FIRST GIRL TOE WIN THE 5 STAR HERE AT THE MARS MARYLAND.

>> ON CUE WON.

TAMMY IS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST IN THE SPORT BEEN TO THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS ON THIS HORSE, ALL FINGERS AND TOES ARE CROSSED FOR THIS BEAR.

TAMMY HAS BEEN OUT ON THE COURSE TODAY SHARPENING UP HER EYE, GETTING HER FIERCE, I SPOKE TO HER LAST NIGHT.

SHE SAID IT IS GOING TO BE HARD TO MAKE TIME BUT I'LL GIVE IT EVERYTHING I HAVE AND WHY WOULDN'T YOU.

SHE HAS PUT IN YEARS AND YEARS.

THIS PARTNERSHIP IS FANTASTIC.

MAI BAUM WHO REALLY IMPRESSED US IN THE DRESSAGE YESTERDAY WAS THE OUT AND OUT STANDOUT TEST, 18-YEAR-OLD BY LODANO, UPTON HAD ONE FENCE TO JUMP.

JUST OVER THE TIME.

IT HAS BEEN A GREAT ROUND FOR THIS YOUNG RIDER AND CO- COLA.

POPS THE SCOTTY'S FAREWELL.

>> SHE IS FIGHTING FOR THE TIME AND .55 ON THIS DAY.

SHE COULD BE A PODIUM FINISHER.

32 SECONDS OVER.

SHE AT THE MOMENT COULD GO BETTER BECAUSE SHE HAS A MISSED FLAG OR A 20 AND THE 11.

THE 11 WILL STAY BUT SHE COULD HAVE SOME PENALTIES TAKEN OFF.

TAMMY SMITH MAI BAUM INTO THE MAIN ARENA, 2, 3 4-RBGS.

1, 2, 3,... >> AND YOU CAN SEE SHE PLANNED A LITTLE BIT LIKE IMUK BECAUSE SHE CAME INTO THE A QUESTION ACTUALLY JUMPING OUT A LITTLE BIT SO SHE COULD ADD THE STRIDE AND KEEP TURNING AROUND.

CLEVERLY PLANNED SO IT WAS A LITTLE EASIER.

SOMETIMES LONGER AND LEAVING A STRIDE OUT IS ACTUALLY NOT FASTER WHEN YOU HAVE THIS TURNING QUESTION.

IT ALSO WILL HELP SET UP FOR THE ADJUSTABILITY THAT SHE NEEDS DOWN HERE AT THESE TURNING RAILS.

>> BUBBY UPTON CEASE SCORE HAS BEEN UPDATED.

THE PENALTIES HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY.

IT IS JUST THE BROKEN DEVICE, THE PIN, SHE DOES COMPLETE ON 50.5.

SHE GOES SECOND.

23.8 IN TOTAL.

WITH 12 AND THE 11.

12.8 TIME AND WITH THE 11 FOR THEROKEN PIN.

>> SUPER RIDE THERE FOR TAMMY, GALLOPING UP THE HILL NOW.

SHE WILL HEAD TO THE YANMAR SUNKEN ROAD, WHICH KNOCK ON WOOD, HAS RIDDEN MUCH BETTER IN THE 5 STAR THAN THE 3 STAR THIS MORNING.

TAILGATERS GETTING SUCH A GOOD SHOT.

BEAUTIFUL DAY OUT HERE AND IT IS ALL GOING ON AT MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR.

>> FOURTH EDITION OF THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR.

>> GREAT SHOT.

>> MAI BAUM... >> BEAUTIFUL.

>> BEAUTIFUL WASN'T IT.

I BELIEVE YOU SEE HIM DISWRUSM THROUGH THERE.

1 YEARS OLD.

HE LOOKS LIKE-- SHE SAID HE FELT LIKE A 10-YEAR-OLD IN THE DRESSAGE.

HE IS LOOKING, BELYING HIS YEARS.

>> LIGHT ON THE RUNS THIS FALL AND THAT COULD WORK IN HIS FAVOR.

HE WON A 4 STA EARLIER IN MARCH, PREPPING FOR PARIS, A ANYTHING WILL THAT KEPT HIM OUT OF THE MIX.

SHE SAID I KNOW THE HORSE.

I'VE PREPPED THE HORSE, I'M PREPARED WITH THE HORSE.

THIS IS HOW WE ROLL.

>> SHE WON THE 4 STAR SHORT AND THEN STRAIGHT OFF TO THE RIFN AS YOU SAY AND THEN TO A 5 STAR OF THIS MAGNITUDE AND KNOWING, A LOT OF THESE RIDERS KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE BIG BECAUSE IT WAS IAN STARK'S SWAN SONG.

COMING UP TO THE BIG WATER.

THIS IS THE BROWN ADVISORY CANOE >> AMAZING.

CANOE AND CA CASCADE.

FLYING SCOTT.

FLYING SCOTT WAS IAN STARK'S NICKNAME CROSS COUNTRY HE WAS KNOWN AS THE FLYING SCOTT.

HE WAS ALWAYS FAST.

AMONGST OTHERS.

AND DOWN AT THE START.

LEAVING THE START BOX.

NEXT TO GO AND THIS IS THE ONE WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.

IT IS OLIVER TOWNEND FOR BALLAGHMOR CLASS, THREE-TIME 5 STAR WINNER, HE LAS GOT EIGHT 5 STAR WINS UNDER HIS BELT ALREADY.

HE HAS FINISHED THIRD HERE TWICE.

SECOND HERE BACK IN 2021.

HE DEARLY LOVES TO BREAK THE DUCKS BACK AND GET A WIN.

THOMAS, AS HE IS KNOWN, 17 YEARS OLD, SECOND AFTER DRESSAGE AT 28.5.

INTERESTINGLY THAT THE TWO ARE FOLLOWING EACH OTHER IN TAMMY SMITH AND OLIVER TOWNEND IT IS GOING TO BE A REALLY, REALLY EXCITING NEXT 12 TO 14 MINUTES.

BY COURAGE THE SECOND, BRED BY NOEL HICKEY.

SHE HAS HAD AN AMAZING COURSE WITH THISHORSE.

>> AND THE FOOTWORK THERE, THAT IS, YOU GET IT GIRL.

AND YOU KNOW, THAT' THE FOOTWORK THAT WE KNOW THIS HORSE FOR, JUST CAUSES, HOLDS ONE LEG UP AND SHE COMES TO THE BIG BOXES TURNING TO THE CORNER THAT GETS A LITTLE DEEP THERE, NO BIG DEAL.

THAT WILL PROBABLY WORK OUT FOR HER.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

>> AMAZING.

ON IT.

LOST THE STIRPE STIR UP.

GETTING NICE AND DEEP UNDERNEATH THE FIRST ONE.

MADE THE FIVE WORK REALLY EASY.

AMAZING.

WE PROBABLY HAVE TWO OF THE BEST HORSES IN THE WORLD ON THE COURSE RIGHT NOW.

>> I AGREE.

BALLAGHMOR CLASS AND MAI BAUM, FOUR 5 STAR WINS BETWEEN THEM.

AND THEN IT'S NOT OVER BECAUSE WE HAVE ANOTHER 5 STAR WINNER COMING AND THAT IS TIM PRICE.

TIM WHO HAS WON HERE, FALCO WHO HAS NOT WON BUT HAS WON A 5 STAR IN POE.

OLIVER TOWNEND IS COMING INTO THE MAIN ARENA.

HERE HE IS.

BALLAGHMOR CLASS 1, 2, 3.

HAVE TO GO ON THE 4.

1, 2, 3, IT WILL HAVE TO GO ON THE 4 AGAIN.

JUSTICE DIDN'T-- JUST DIDN'T REACT HOW OLIVER THOUGHT HE WOULD GOING TO THE FENCE.

A LOT TO LOOK AT THAT, JUMPING STRAIGHT INTO THE V.I.P.

AREA.

THOMAS IS OF COURSE HUGELY EXPERIENCED.

HE HAS WON THREE 5S, BEEN AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST ALTHOUGH IT WAS A VERY QUIET OLYMPICS IN TOKYO 2021 BUT BACK WITH TAMMY SMITH AND MAI BAUM NOW AT THE FENCE BEFORE THE TWO SAW MILL CORNERS.

>> GET A LOOK AT HER HERE.

HERE IS WHERE WE HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE TERRAIN CATCH UP ON THE HORSES, THE HORSES LOOKING A LITTLE TIRED.

AS WE MOVE UP HERE, MAI BAUM LOOKING FABULOUS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL, TAMMY ULTIMATE PROFESSIONAL.

SHE HAS BEEN DEAD ON SO FAR.

SO WE WILL SEE HOW THEY TAKE ON THE SLICES.

>> EVEN THERE TAMMY HAS GIVEN MAI BAUM A REMINDER COMING UP TO THE QUESTION.

SHE TURNS GIVES HER A LITTLE SMACKDOWN ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER.

HE WILL ALREADY GONE HADN'T HE.

>> I THINK SHE FELT THAT COMING UP THE HILL AND WENT TO THE STICK BECAUSE SHE JUST FELT HIM SWITCH OFF A LITTLE BIT.

>> THAT'S DEVASTATING TO SEE, HEART BREAKING.

MAI BAUM AND HIS LAST 5 STAR, SADLY DOESN'T BOW OUT AS SHE WOULD HAVE WANTED.

BALLAGHMOR CLASS.

>> JUST GETTING SO DEEP AND SO TIGHT HERE.

IT'S REALLY INTERESTING YOU KNOW, WE SAW THE SAME THING HAPPEN WITH HARRY'S HORSE LOOKING FABULOUS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TRACK AND THAT PULL UP THE HILL GETTING TO THEM A LITTLE BIT.

MAI BAUM COMING AROUND THE TURN AND NOT RECOVERING THE WAY WE COULD HAVE HOPED.

TAMMY FELT THAT AND GAVE IT A CRACK AND SAID THIS IS NOT WHERE WE ARE GOING TO-- WE ARE NOT GOING TRY IT AGAIN, ULTIMATE PROFESSIONAL, JUST LIKE HARRY, PUT THE HAND UP.

>> LIKE YOU SAID, BETWEEN NINE AND 10 MINUTES IS THE BIGGEST POLES AND THIS IS WHEN THE HORSES START TO GET TIRED.

BUT THERE IS NOT REALLY ANY RECOVERY SPACE.

AFTER THEY CLIMB THE HILLS, THE SAME AS WE SAW IN THE 3 STAR FOR THE HORSES GOING TO THE MARS SUSTAINABILITY BAY.

THIS IS RETURNING TO THE FIRST WATER, THAT SECOND WATER.

AND THIS JUST RIDING PERFECTLY.

THERE WAS SO MUCH CONCERN ABOUT THAT.

AND I ASKED IAN WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.

HAD IT EVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.

HE SAID YEAH, DID YOU TALK TO LIEU SIN DA?

WE HAD A FEW OF THOSE BACK IN MY DAY AND BACK IN HER DAY.

ALL RIGHT THEN.

BUT OLIVER WILL NOT HAVE KNOWN THAT TAMMY HAS HAD THOSE PROBLEMSMENT WILL HE WILL NOT TAKE HIS FOOT OFF THE THROTTLE.

>> 26.5 IS THE SCORE THAT OLIVER TOWNEND HAS.

34.5 IS THE LEADING SCORE.

THAT IS DAVID DOEL CLEAR INSIDE THE TIME.

HE WAS 24 SECONDS INSIDE THE TIME.

THERE GOES HARBIN, JOE, WHO RIDES THIS LOVELY GRAY OWNED BY JOHN MEYER, THERESA FOOTS AND WIFE RUTH, ALONG WITH JOE HIMSELF, BRED BY THE SCOTTS.

43.7 IS THE STARTING SCORE.

>> SO THIS THOROUGHBRED HORSE-- JUST THE SAME THING AS BOYD, JUST TIPS AIMGHTS BIT.

RECOVERS A LITTLE QUICKER THERE.

THIS HORSE SO FUN TO WATCH WITH JOE, LITTLE AND SCRAPPY LIKE HIS OLD 5 STAR HORSE SNIP.

BACK TO OLIVER.

BIG TWO DOWN THE LINE.

WE'VE ONLY SEEN THAT IN THREE STRIDES SO FAR BUT HE STAYS ON THE LINE, COMMITS TO IT AND GOES.

I DON'T THINK HE WAS COUNTING.

HE WAS JUST LOOKING AT THE FLAGS.

>> AND JUST STEADYING DOWN INTERESTINGLY COMING TO THESE MASSIVE FENCES, WHICH ARE THE BIG VERY, VERY LARGE BARRICADES, AND THEN THE CORNER, THOMAS IS ON FLYING FORM ISN'T HE.

ANIMAL CLASS, A GAME ON AND SO HAS Mr. TOWNEND.

>> THE SAME THING HAPPENED A LITTLE BIT FOR HIM AT THOSE BOXES AS TAMMY.

I THINK YOU SAW HIM PLAN TO REEL IT IN, DO THE FOUR STRIDES THERE BECAUSE THE THREE IS REALLY SHOOTING PEOPLE OFF.

AND HE WAITED AND THEN STILL ENDED UP ON THE FOUR ON THE WAY OUT.

BUT REALLY COMMITTED JUMP THROUGH THOSE LINES AND LIKE DAVID DOEL SAID IT'S NOT ALWAYS PRETTY BUT THE HORSES ARE STAYING ON IT AND THEY UNDERSTAND THAT.

>> THIS IS WHERE THE CLIMB STARTS.

BOTTOM OF THE HILL FROM MINUTE 9 TO MINUTE 10 UP TO THE CORNERS AND THEY TURN AWAY AND CONTINUE TO CLIMB UP TO THE MARS SUSTAINABILITY BAY RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE HILL.

AND THEY'RE STILL CLIMBING HERE.

THEY MAKE A SLIGHT RIGHT AND SLIGHT LEFT TURN, STILL CLIMBING >> THAT'S WHERE YOU WONDER IF THE WORD IS GETTING BACK LATER ON WHEN WE SEE HORSES LESS EXPERIENCE, WE SEE THEM GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE OPTION AND NOT ATTEMPT THE FIRST CORNER.

LET THE HORSES NIP THROUGH THOSE THREE COMBINATIONS THERE, CATCH THEIR BREATH.

>> IAN HAS A LOT TO SAY, DOESN'T HE?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> A MEAN BALLAGHMOR CLASS, HE IS ONE OF THE BEST CROSS COUNTRY HORSES IN THE WORLD.

>> HE LOOKS GREAT RIGHT NOW.

>> AND OLIVER WOULD HAVE GOT HIM VERY FIT.

THE TEAM AT HOME WOULD HAVE HIM FIT AS WELL.

BUT OLIVER'S GREAT JUDGE OF CHARACTER AND HE GETS ON WITH THIS HORSE VERY WELL.

I THINK HE WILL PROBABLY JUMP THE FIRST ONE.

HE HAS NEVER ONE TO GO THE LONG ROUTES, OLLY, WILL HE JUMP THE FIRST ONE AND THEN-- I THINK HE IS GOING TO... >> LONG.

IT'S NOT THAT MUCH TIME.

>> NO, IT'S NOT AND IT'S SAFER.

I WAS GOING SAY HEAL JUMP THE FIRST AND GO LONG.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT WAS HIS FIRST PLAN.

PROBABLY NOT BUT THE WAY THOMAS JUMPED IT WAS UNEXPECTED.

IT WAS A LITTLE BIT UNCHARACTERISTIC THE WAY THAT HE DID JUMP THAT FENCE.

DISCRETION BETTER PART OF VALOR, GO LONG.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THE HORSE LOOKS GOOD, YOU KNOW.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT EARLIER, COMING UP THE CLIMB, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO PUSH ON THE HORSES, YOU ARE NOT GOING CHARGE UP THE HILL.

LET THEM FIND THEIR BALANCE, GET UP THE HILL, JUMP THE SUSTAINABILITY BAY AT THE TOP AND CATCH THEIR BREATH COMING BACK DOWN IN THAT TENTH MINUTE.

>> COMES UP TO THE TOP.

THE CROWDS ARE REALLY RUNNING OVER TO SEE THIS AS HE GOES STRAIGHT.

WE SEE HIM TURN INTO THE BOUNCES.

SCRECHES UP.

STRETCHES UP.

>> COME ON.

WE TOOK A STRIDE COMING DOWN THERE.

COMING DOWN THAT BANK.

>> I THINK HE DID THE TWO BUT HE WAS RIGHT AT THE END OF HIS REIN.

IMPRESSIVE AND THAT SHOWS THE EXPERIENCE, RIGHT?

THESE HORSES NOTE JOB.

AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THIS HORSE KNOWS HE IS MEANT TO GO IN BETWEEN THE TWO FLAGS.

HE TRUSTS HIS RIDER, RIGHT, AND AT THAT POINT OLLY HAD NO POINT OTHER THAN TO TRUST HIS HORSE BECAUSE HE WAS AT THE END OF THE REIN.

>> LOOK AT THAT THAT IS THE BEST WE'VE SEEN OF THAT FENCE.

BALLAGHMOR CLASS IS LOOKING LOOK LIKE HE HAS PLENTY LEFT IN THE TANK.

HE COMES UP THE HILL TO WHAT IS THE BIG COMBINATION.

THE FAIR HILL INTERNATIONAL ROLLER COASTER AND DROP.

SLOWING THEM DOWN AGAIN STTY ISN'T HE, AS THEY MAKE THE TURN TO THE ROLLER COASTER.

THEN THE FAIR HILL STEP DOWN TO DROP, TWO FENCES AT THE BOTTOM.

GETS VERY CLOSE TO FIRST.

OLLY THEN SITS QUIETLY AND WAITS FOR THE KEY WEDGE.

>> I DON'T THINK HE HAS ENOUGH TIME TO GET HOME ON THE CLOCK.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A MATTER NOW OF HOW MANY TIME PENALTIES.

>> YEAH, HE HAS GOT 43 SECONDS TO GET HOME FROM HERE.

HE HAS GOT THIS FENCE.

HE'S GOT THE TWO OWL HOLES.

UNLIKE THE THREE STAR, YOU KEEP MOVING A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AND A LITTLE BIT MORE BUT HE HAS ONLY GOT 30 SECONDS.

HE HAS GIVEN BALLAGHMOR CLASS A TAP DOWN THE SHOULDER SAYING COME ON MATE, DIG DEEPER FOR ME.

KNOWING WHAT YOU'VE GOT.

HOW MUCH AND HOW DEEP WILL THEY DIG?

HOW MUCH WILL THEY GET INTO THE RESERVE TANK?

13 SECONDS, 12 SECONDS.

IT'S GOING TO BE A FEW TIME PENALTIES.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE MANY FOR OLIVER TOWNEND GREAT BRITAIN AS HE POPS THROUGH THESE VERY, VERY NARROWINGS OWL HOLES.

>> SO CREEPING UP AND IT'S JUST A MATTER, CAN HE STAY AHEAD OF DAVID DOEL?

30.9.

31.3.

HE WILL STOP THE CLOCK.

31.3.

>> HE HAS GONE INTO THE LEAD.

OLIVER TOWNEND HAS DONE WHAT HE SET OUT TO DO.

AND THAT IS WAS TO JUMP CLEAR, THAT WAS TO GO TO THE TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD IF HE COULD.

BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN HERE EVERY YEAR SINCE THE INAUGURAL RUNNING, BACK IN 2021, HE HAS BEEN THIRD TWICE.

HE HAS BEEN SECOND.

THERE IS KAREN SHOOTER, PART OWNER OF BALLAGHMOR CLASS.

SHE RUNS TO THE HORSE FIRST.

SHE SAYS DOESN'T MATTER ABOUT THE RIDER.

>> CHECKING ON OLIVER, MAKING SURE HE HAS CAUGHT HIS BREATH.

>> HE WAS GOING GO TO THE HORSE BUT NOW HE IS RUNNING TO MAKE SURE THE HORSE-- OLIVER SAYS I'M GOOD.

>> 11:20 SECONDS GIVES HIM 12 SECONDS OVER THE OPTIMUM TIMING, INCURRING ON THE CROSS COUNTRY 4.8 TIME PENALTIES, SECOND FASTEST OF THE DAY.

GOES INTO THE LEAD WITH ONLY ONE THAT CAN GO AHEAD OF HIM AND THAT IS FALCO AND TIM PRICE W COME IN A COUPLE OF HORSE'S TIME.

WHEN IN FACT IT IS EMA KLUGMAN.

SHE HAD A DRESSAGE 35.6.

SHE IS OUT ON COURSE WITH BRONTE BEACH.

ANOTHER 12-YEAR-OLD MARE BY VERDE.

AND SHE IS DROPPING HERSELF DOWN TOWARDS THESE TWO VERY, VERY UPRIGHT RAILS.

HAND CUT RAILS.

>> AND SHE LOOKED FABULOUS INTO THE MAIN ARENA THERE.

>> 2, 3 4-RBGS.

JOE MEYER THERE WITH HARBIN UP AT THE INFLUENTIAL FENCE.

NOT THE ONE.

>> RIGHT PAST IT.

>> WILL JOE PUT HIS HAND UP.

I THINK HARBIN IS LOOKING A LITTLE BIT FRESHER THAN SOME WE'VE SEEN AND HE WILL GO THE LONG ROUTE.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYBODY JUMP THIS LONG ROUTE YET IN THE FIRST PART.

THEN HE HAS GOT TWO FENCES TO JUMP AT THE A AND B OF THE CORNERS.

ALL THE WAY AROUND.

SIGHTS A COUNTRY MILE ALL THE WAY AROUND TO THE LONG ROUTE.

BUT HARBIN BEAUTIFULLY THROUGH THERE AND HE WILL PUT, AS YOU SAID 20 PENALTIES.

WHAT IS THAT WHAT IS THAT?

IT HAS BEEN A VERY INFLUENTIAL CROSS COUNTRY COURSE.

WE KNEW IT WOULD BE.

THE CROWD HAVE ENJOYED SOME TOP CLASS AND SOME HIGH CLASS COMPETITION, THAT'S FOR SURE.

WATCHING THESE WONDERFUL HORSES OUT ONHE CROSS COUNTRY AND THERE MAKING THEIR TURN DOWN TOWARDS THIS BIG OXER.

AND IT IS A MASSIVE OXER.

BRONTE BEACH EMA KLUGMAN.

34.5-- 56.6 THE DRESSAGE.

JENNY BRANNIGAN IS NEXT OUT WITH TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM, A HORSE THAT SHE HAS HAD A GREAT DL OF SUCCESS.

COULDN'T RUN LAST YEAR AFTER HER FALL IN THE 3 STAR, EMA WITH THE MARE.

YEAH, THEY JUST HAD A... NOT WONDERFUL IN THE WATER.

>> OH JOE MEYER HAS PULLED UP WITH HARBIN.

HE HAS DECIDED TO RETIRE.

THAT'S A VERY SAD SIGHT TO SEE.

>> THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE UP AT THE BAR TONIGHT SPENCER.

>> THERE WILL.

A LOT OF PEOPLE AT THE BAR.

EMA KLUGMAN, ANOTHER ONE JUST A DROP ON THAT LANDING.

IT'S A BIG WIDE FENCE, A DITCH IN FRONT AND THEN THE LANDING JUST CAUGHT THE MARE OUT THERE.

AT THE MAGNAWAVE HAS BEEN SO SUPPORTIVE IN OUR DAILY POSTS AS WELL, THE 3, 2, 1 AND THEY'RE JUMPING THAT FENCE THERE.

THE MARE HAS JUST GONE A LITTLE BIT GREEN ON HER.

>> I WOULD SAY SHE MADE A GOOD CHOICE THERE BECAUSE SHE PTED THE GROUND AND WRAPPED AROUND IT, NEARLY TOPPLED.

AND HERE COMES JENNIE BRANNIGAN WITH TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM.

A LOVELY 14-YEAR-OLD GELDING.

NATIONAL ANTHEM OUT OF THE BRED AND OWNED BY NINA GARDENER.

NINA AND TIM GARDENER, GREAT SUPPORTERS OF JENNIE'S.

AND THIS IS ONE FAST LADY.

SHE KNOWS THIS HORSE INSIDE AND OUT.

GRADUATE OF THE YOUNG HORSE PROGRAM HERE IN THE UNITED STATES WINNER OF THE FOUR OR FIVE YEAR OLDS.

I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE THAT IS.

SOMEONE WILL SEND THAT IN.

SHE IS COMING OUT HERE TO MAKE THE TIME.

>> TO THE RAILS.

JUMPS THE RAILS.

THE MARE UP TO THE BANK.

SHE'LL GO LEFT.

>> THAT'S I THINK AS NICE AS WE'VE SEEN ANYONE DO IT.

>> AGAIN STUFFING IN THE FOURTH STRIDE.

PHIS JOB MUCH AND IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE THE TABLES ARE SO MASSIVE THAT WHEN YOU WALK THAT DISTANCE, IT WALKS IN QUITE A STRONG 3.

AND THE TABLES ARE SO BIG BUT THE HORSES REALLY JUMP UP AND AROUND AND THEY DON'T JUMP OUT SO THE FOURTH CURVE IS HAPPENING (INAUDIBLE)OR VEZLY EASILY WHICH IS MAKING IT A SOFTER TURN TO THE CORNER.

>> WE WERE THERE FOR QUITE A LONG TIME.

>> TRYING TO-- HOW ARE WE GETTING FOUR HOW WIDE DO WE HAVE TO GO?

WALKING OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

JENNIE BRANNIGAN, TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM IN THE MAIN ARENA.

>> NICE RIDE.

VERY COMMITTED THERE THIS HORSE IS VERY FAST AND HIS DAY TO SHINE.

SHE HAD A FABULOUS RUN AROUND KENTUCKY.

BRED AND OWNED BY NINA GARDENER.

>> FIVE HORSES LEFT TO GO.

AND THIS, THE RUPERT LANDSCAPE CROSS COUNTRY DAY OF THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR, PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY.

THAT WILL BE A RELIEF TO GET THAT FENCE OUT OF THE WAY.

>> AND IT HAS BEEN JUMPING SO WELL.

I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE MORE TROUBLE JUST BECAUSE THE HORSES CAN'T REALLY SEE IT COMING BUT THE HORSES HAVE BEEN SO RIDEABLE.

I THINK THAT GOES TO SHOW HOW THE LEVEL HAS JUST COME UP SO MUCH, THE DRESSAGE HAS COME UP SO MUCH, THE RIDABILITY HAS COME UP SO MUCH, THE TECHNICALITY HAS COME UP SO MUCH.

AN EASY CANSER SIZE HERE, SECOND AND A HALF MINUTE ON THE COURSE.

>> THAT MARE JUMPED THAT PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST WE'VE SEEN.

>> AND SHE WAS PLANNING TO COME AROUND AND IT WAS NEVER A QUESTION.

REALLY SUPER RIDE HERE FOR EMMA SECOND 5 STAR.

REALLY EMPATHETIC RIDING.

YOU CAN SEE HER NOT CHASING THE MARE AWAY.

JUST REMINDING TO STAY IN FRONT OF HER LEG.

THERE IS A BIT TO DO BUT LETTING HER MAKE HER WAY UP THE HILL AS WE ARE BACK TO JENNY WHO IS HAVING A SERIOUS GO.

>> AND GENERAL ANY BRANNIGAN COMES DOWN TO THE DUBARRY OXER.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE VALLEY.

BUT, LOOK, WE'VE HAD A BRILLIANT DAY.

WE WANT TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON OUT THERE ON THE CROSS COUNTRY.

JENNIE BRANNIGAN IS MOVING ON UP TO THIS WATER.

LET'S WATCH HER THROUGH HERE BECAUSE THIS IS, WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE MORE INFLUENTIAL THAN IT WAS.

AND WE ARE WATCHING EMA KLUGMAN COMING UP TO THE MARS WATER.

>> OH NO.

SHE IS GONE.

>> OH NO.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

THAT IS SUCH A SAD SIGHT TO SEE.

EMA KLUGMAN HOPS OUT THE SIDE, COULDN'T QUITE GET BACK IN THE SADDLE AFTER THE FIRST OF THOSE BRUSHES.

TIM PRICE IS AWAY WITH FALCO.

AND TALKING OF OLIVER TOWNEND, THIS HEAR WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.

HE IS WITH FRANKIE.

>> OLLY, WOW, WHAT A ROUND.

IT HAS BEEN QUITE A DAY OF CROSS COUNTRY.

YOU HAVE BEEN AROUND THE BIGGEST TRACKS IN THE WORLD WITH THIS HORSE.

THIS ONE Y ADDED TO THAT AS WELL.

ACCOLADESUT WHAT WAS IT LIKE OUT THERE.

>> YES, IT'S A 5 STAR.

FOR ME IT'S RIGHT UP THERE WITH BAD MINTON, BURLEY, KENTUCKY FOR THE OTHERS.

AND THEY'RE A LEVEL LESS.

THIS IS THE TOP, TOP, TOP OF THE SPORT AND IT'S NOT EASY.

I WAS TRYING TO LOOK AFTER HIM ALL THE WAY AND I'VE ENDED UP BEING A LITTLE BIT SLOW BECAUSE OF IT BUT I WAS TRYING TO PLAY A PERCENTAGE GAME.

I WAS TOLD I WAS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE UP TO THE SKINNY OVER THE WATETO GO LONG AFTERWARDS AND I WAS AHEAD AND THEN I JUST WANTED TO SAVE ALL THE WAY UP TO THE MAIN WATERWAY WAS INCREDIBLE.

AND THEN I'VE LOOKED AFTER HIM ALL THE WAY HOME BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW WHAT HE HAS DONE AND HE IS SPECIAL, SO... >> WELL, YOU GUYS DEFINITELY RELY ON YOUR PARTNERSHIP AND WE HAVE SEEN ONE OF THE MOST TREMENDOUS PARTNERSHIPS IN THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT IN THE TWO OF YOU.

YOU RELIED ON THAT AGAIN TODAY ALL THE WAY HOME.

YOU TAKE CARE OF HIM.

HE TAKES CARE OF YOU BUT IT'S GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO TOP THE LEADERBOARD FOR NOW.

THERE IS ONLY ONE MAN, TIM PRICE WHO CAN SNEAK AHEAD OF YOU.

WE'LL FIND OUT.

BUT WHAT A DAY AT THE OFFICE FOR YOU AGAIN.

CONGRATULATIONS.

>> IT'S ALWAYS TIM.

>> HE SAID THAT WITH LOVE HE WAS TEXTING ME LAST NIGHT.

SPENY, IT'S EIGHT.

I SAID KENTUCKY WASN'T ON THE 2024 LIST OF HIS ACCOLADES.

SO THAT WAS MY FAULT.

BUT TIM PRICE, YES, HE HAS WON HERE BACK IN 2021 WITH-- 2022 OF COURSE WITH THE WONDERFUL COUP.

FALCO IS A VERY FAST HORSE.

OWNED BY SUE BENSON, SUE, OF COURSE, WAS A FORMER DESIGNER, CROSS COUNTRY COURSE DESIGNER OF THE LEMIEUX HORSE TRIALS.

SHE HAS DESIGNED OLYMPICS.

SHE DESIGNED THE LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS.

RUNNER UP AT BABINGTON.

A VERY LOVELY LADY, SHE IS HERE WITH HER HUSBAND AND A GREAT SUPPORTER OF TIM'S.

JANELL AT THE YOUNG HORSE CHAMPIONSHIPS, THAT'S GOING WELL.

THAT'S FINISHED CROSS COUNTRY TODAY.

WE ARE NOW IN THE EVENING IN FRANCE.

BUT TIM PRICE SETS OUT WITH THE WONDERFUL FALCO.

15-YEAR-OLD.

>> WE HAVE JENNIE COMING TO THESE VERY, VERY INFLUENTIAL CORNERS SHE IS GOING STRAIGHT.

>> ANOTHER ONE TO TAKE THE FLAG AND SHE, AGAIN, QUICK THINKING.

WAS SHE THE RIGHT SIDE OF IT.

SHE KICKED THE FLAG OUT, WHICH IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME, SHE WILL KNOW, IT LOOKED TO ME LIKE SHE JUMP ADD LONG SIDE OF IT.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE, BUT WE WON'T SEE.

BUT IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT WITH THE REVIEW.

>> SO INTERESTING.

LAST YEAR SEESAW SO MANY HORSES.

THEY SWITCHED THAT UP BUT TWO DOUBLE CORNERS LAST YEAR AND SO MANY HORSES JUST REALLY STRUGGLE AT THAT PART OF THE COURSE AS WELL.

I THINK THE QUESTION IS.

(NO AUDIO) WHOA!

WOW!

I MEAN THAT WAS A SPRING BOARD.

HE NEARLY DID A HAND STAND ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LAST JUMP BECAUSE HE IS SO POWERFUL BEHIND.

>> I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT AGAIN.

FALCO, LOOK AT THIS, ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE.

OUR AMAZING TEAM.

LOOK AT THIS FOR ATHLETICISM IN BANG, ONE STRIDE AND THEN THIS, WHAT!

HE TURNED HIMSELF INSIDE OUT, NEARLY TICK KICKED TIM OUT THE FRONT DOOR.

LOVELY TO WATCH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO OUR TEAM.

I MEAN THEY'RE OUT THERE, FILMING, THEY'RE EDITING, EVERYTHING GOING ON AND THEY HAVE BEEN SO, SO GOOD IN PROVIDING THESE PICTURES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO TIM PRICE COMING UP TO THE WATER.

THE BROWN ADVISORY LAKE.

>> EASY.

EASY.

THIS HORSE JUST JUMPING FOR FUN.

WOULD I LOVE TO GET A SERIES OF PICTURES OF THAT SUNKEN ROAD AS WE ARE BACK TO JENNIE WHO IS FLYING HERE.

LOOKS LIKE SHE IS HEADING MAYBE BACK DOWN THE HILL TO THE ROLLER COASTER.

THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW QUESONABLE JUMPS HERE.

>> RATTLES THE FIRST PART.

>> AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S AN AMAZING PARTNERSHIP.

YOU CAN SEE HERE HE IS JUST GOING TO GO WHERE JENNIE TELLS HIM TO GO.

WE SAW HER AT THE END OF KENTUCKY GET VERY EMOTIONAL ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HORSE BECAUSE SHE SAID HE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS BUT HE HAS SO MUCH HEART AS WE HAVE ANOTHER THOROUGHBRED GALLOPING OUT WE'VE GOT JESSICA PHOENIX.

I'LL LET YOU SAY IT BECAUSE YOU LIKE IT.

>> WABBIT.

I LOVE WABBIT.

WABBIT THE LOVELY GRAY, 14-YEAR-OLD BY LINE OF DEPARTURE.

NO KISSING THE DAM.

GREAT GLADIATOR.

MOLINARO FARMS, BRED AND JESSE OWENS ALONG WITH JIM PHILLIPS.

WABBIT HAS BEEN TO SOME OF THE BIGGEST EVENTS IN THE WORLD.

BABBINGTON BURLEY TO KENTUCKY TO MARYLAND BEING AMONGST THEM JENNIE BRANNIGAN, TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM.

>> NICE JOB FINISHING THERE.

SHE STILL HAS THE PENALTIES ON THERE BUT WE WILL HAVE A REVIEW.

SHE IS GOING TO BE VERY FAST, LOOK AT HER.

WE MISS THAT BUT I SEE ALL RAILS AND FLAGS IN TACT.

SO JENNIE BRANNIGAN STOPS THE CLOCK, SEVEN SECONDS OVER THE OPTIMUM TIME.

SHE COMPLETES ON 52.3.

7 SECONDS INCURS HER 2.8 TIME.

THAT'S A VERY FAST TIME INDEED.

TIM PRICE, FALCO.

>> 4 AND 4 STILL THE HORSE JUST TOOK A SECOND TO ASSESS IT AND JUMPED HIMSELF IN BETWEEN THE LINES.

WE'VE SEEN THAT COME DOWN IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS BUT WHAT A FABULOUS COMBINATION AGAIN, JUST JUMPING FOR FUN.

I MN I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK THE HORSE IS HAVING FUN.

I THINK TIM IS PROBABLY AT WORK.

>> I MEAN THIS IS ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT CORVETT AIRLINES BUT FAL DOUGH AIRLINES IS ANOTHER VERY FAVORITE AIRLINE TO BE ON BOARD WITH BECAUSE HE IS A PHENOMENAL JUMPER.

WE JUST GOT WABBIT IN THE MAIN ARENA WITH THE CANADIAN JESSE PHOENIX BUT TIM PRICE ON THE LONG CLIMB AND THE CROWDS ARE STAYING.

THREE LEFT TO GO AND THREE OF THE VERY BEST.

HARRY MEADE, BOYD MARTIN AND COLLEEN LOACH, OVER THE LOVELY FENCE THAT GIVES THE HORSES A LITTLE BIT OF A BREATHER ON THE UPHILL CLIMB TIM ALSO JUMPS TO THE SAW MILL SLICES WHETHER OR NOT WILL FALCO DO?

WHAT WILL TIM DO?

WE'VE SEEN EXPERIENCE HORSES QUESTION THIS IN QUITE AN UNPREDICTABLE WAY.

>> THIS LOOKS REALLY SHARP, REALLY FULL OF RUNNING, AS GOOD AS ANY THAT WE'VE SEEN FROM AROUND THIS TURN.

WE ARE SAFORTING IN THE POSITIVES.

>> TIM WEARING THE PURPLE RIB RIBBON IN MEMORY OF GEORGEY CAMPBELL, ONE OF HIS-- HE IS GOING LONG, STRAIGHT AWAY.

NO, HE IS NOT.

HE IS GOING QUICK THE FIRST PART.

AND THEN LONG.

>> THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST RIDES WE'VE SEEN ACTUALLY.

A DIFFERENT ANGLE BUT THAT'S THE STRAIGHTEST WE'VE SEEN THE HORSES COME THROUGH AND READ THAT.

THIS DOESN'T TAKE A HALF SECOND LONGER.

I MEAN IT PROBABLY TAKES A HALF SECOND BUT IT'S WORTH IT.

>> DEFINITELY AND HE LEFT THE FLAG UP.

NO QUESTION MARKS THERE.

YEAH, THE PURPLE RIBBON WORN FOR GEORGEY CAMPBELL WHO WE DEVASTATINGLY LOST AT BICTON HORSE TRIALS THIS YEAR AND JESSE CAMPBELL ONE OF TIM'S VERY, VERY GOOD FRIENDS, SO WEARING THAT IN MEMORY, IF YOU ARE WONDERING.

SO WE NOW HAVE TIM PRICE COMING UP TO THE MARS SUSTAINABILITY BAY WATER.

THE CRAB, THE BOUNCE IN HE IS JUST BEHIND THE CLOCK.

HE SITS UP.

SITS BACK BUT FALCO IS A GALLOP ER THIS IS WHERE FALCO IS VERY CLEVER BECAUSE HE DOES JUMP HIGH AND GETS IN THE AIR.

WASTES TIME IN THE AIR BUT ACTUALLY WAS VERY ECONOMICAL THEIR AND HE HAS A LOVELY GALLOP ON HIM ALMOST LIKE HE HAS A TANK WITH AN ENDLESS SUPPLY OF FUEL.

>> AND TIM RIDES BEAUTIFULLY BECAUSE THIS HORSE NEEDS A RIDER LIKE TIM.

HE IS FORWARD, POSITIVE, ACCURATE, HE TRUSTS HIM.

HE HAS PUT ENOUGH MONEY IN THE BANK SO THERE IS SCOPE TO SPARE SO NEVER MIND.

THE HORSE IS FULL OF RUNNING AND CHARGING DOWN THIS HILL.

I THINK OLIVER TOWNEND MIGHT BE SWEATING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A DUEL TO THE BITTER END.

>> AND WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT BOYD MARTIN HAS WITHDRAWN.

THIS HAS NOT BEEN HIS MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR 2024.

SO WE JUST HAVE TWO LEFT TO GO.

HARRY MEADE AND WILL BE ANOTHER RIDE FOR COLLEEN LOACH.

>> FLYING HOME.

45 SECONDS, I THINK HE IS RIGHT AROUND WHERE OLIVER WAS.

SO THIS IS GOING TO BE REALLY, REALLY CLOSE.

>> THE SCORE TO BEAT 31.4-- 31.3.

I HAVE TO PUT MY TEETH BACK IN.

27.4 IS THE SCORE THAT FALCO IS ON.

>> AND HE IS CHARGING THIS HORSE IS FULL OF RUN, LOOK AT HIM GO.

HE HAS DONE A FABULOUS JOB.

>> THIS IS THE BEST WE'VE SEEN COME HOME.

>> AMAZING.

>> HE HAS KNOWN HE HAD A LITTLE BIT TO PLAY WITH.

CHECKING HIS WATCH RIGHT THERE.

THESUALS HAVE TO BE JUMPED.

THERE WAS CONCERN ABOUT THE OWLS BUT SO FAR-- >> IF HE WANTS TO BE INSIDE-- IF HE WANTS TO GO DO THE LEAD, HE NEEDS NO MORE THAN NINE SECONDS OVER THE TIME.

THAT WILL GIVE HIM 3.6 TIME PENALTIES.

>> IS HE GOING MAKE IT?

>> I DON'T THINK HE IS GOING MAKE.

>> IT NINE SECONDS IT IS.

THAT'S IT THERE.

10, NOW HE GOES SECOND.

THEN HE WILL GO THIRD BECAUSE HARRY MEADE, THE 10-YEAR-OLD COULD GO AHEAD AND IT IS 34.6.

AND GOES INTO THIRD ONE BEHIND.

DAVID DOEL AND GALILEO NIEUWMOED ON 34.5.

>> WELL, IT WAS JUST A CLASS ROUND.

OH AND WE'VE GOT JESSE UP AT THE TOP FOR SOME REASON DECIDED TO CALL IT A DAY.

LOOKS LIKE MOVING TO THE HIGHEST PART OF THE COURSE.

>> SHE WAS AT THE 11TH, UNFORTUNATELY, HARRY MEADE JUST JUMPED THROUGH WITH THE 5 STAR CAMPAIGNER, FIRST ONE IT IS, COLLEEN LOACH WITH EF EV CITIZENE IFE IF FE GOLDEN EYE JESSE PHOENIX.

SHE HAD PROBLEMS AT 11.

WHICH SHE HAD NO 12, SORRY.

THE COFFIN, BROKE THE RAIL.

AND THEN HAD A RUN OUT AT THE LAST ELEMENT AND DECIDED TO CALL IT A DAY.

SO HARRY MEADE OUR SECOND LAST TO GO.

HARRY WITH THIS LOVELY, LOVELY FRENCH BRED GELDING 10 YEARS
