The story so far in Georgia are the comeback performances. Canadian team hopeful Jessica Phoenix is returning from having a baby right before The Fork. They tried to time the birth to give Jessica a shot to make the Canadian WEG squad, and so far so good for her comeback plans. Rebecca Howard is returning from her big fall at Pine Top earlier this spring. David kept Rebecca’s horses in work and it seems that Rebecca has been able to pick up where she left off. Will Coleman broke his collar bone just 6 weeks ago at the Fork, but jumped around the advanced clear on two horses and sits in 4th on Twizzel. We could also consider the 3rd placed advanced pair, Michael Pollard and Wonderful Will a comeback story after Michael’s fall at Rolex.
It’s also worth noting that Canada has two riders in the top 4 of the advanced.
7 out of 15 starters in the advanced had issues and overnight leader Gina Fiore and Feral Errol were eliminated. A couple of the upper level riders made some mental mistakes and missed a fence or jumped the wrong one. Visionaire reports that the high humidity combined with temperatures in the mid 80’s is making for some tired horses around the course.
No we will not be live blogging NBC’s Rolex replay–stop sending me email requests. I am kidding of course, but it is cool that we have gotten requests for a live blog of the Rolex replay!
