As is usually the case with my Friday nights, it’s a long story. I just had a Bristol, Tennessee Holiday Inn proprietor say to me “son, you look so rough that you could stick a fork in it.” I’m not sure what that means exactly, but coming from a man who runs the late night shift at Tennessee hotel, let’s just say that I got his point. You see, I’m in day 3 of a flu that I no doubt contracted on my flight back from Europe and, although a hacking cough doesn’t translate to my writing, any one of the EN Team members will attest that it is very much there. I attempted the final leg of my trip home tonight and obviously didn’t make it. So, since we’ll be writing about the second day of dressage at Badminton quite a bit on Saturday, here are all of you eventing links that have nothing to do with Badminton–don’t worry, I looked and there weren’t any good Badminton links anyway:
–There are two CIC3*’s going on here in the US this weekend–Fair Hill and Twin Rivers. Tamra Smith and Mar De Amor lead the CIC3* at Twin Rivers going into the XC with just a one second lead ahead of Jolie Wentworth and GoodKnight. Brittany Lunney and Cool Dancer lead a one horse advanced field.
–As of this afternoon there weren’t any online scores posted for Fair Hill so several fantastic EN readers who I have never met kindly took pictures of the Fair Hill leader board. With a little help from Photoshop, they were at least usable when combined with the entry list. The fact that live scores have now been posted doesn’t change that it was awesome that some readers took the time to send us picture of the scores or that it is pretty cool to get a look at the real leader board.
