As a quick update on Allison’s protest of her stop at #14, the ground jury was still reviewing the situation as of Saturday evening. Galway sent out a press release Saturday night announcing Jennie as the CCI3* leader but we will not know for sure until we get an official word or until the show jumping starts. I have not heard from any sources that the 20 penalties are expected to be reversed. It looks like a tough break for Allison who feels strongly that she did not commit to the jump before circling, but in the end it is a subjective decision about a brief second in time. Jennie is a worthy CCI3* leader and whatever happens with the protest we will be rooting for Jennie and Allison on Sunday.
As another note, I made some fuzzy math regarding the time change and the Pau times in my indoor eventing post Saturday night. The Pau CCI4* jog is scheduled for 6:15am ET, and show jumping is scheduled to start at 8:30am ET. The CCI2* show jumping starts at 3:30am ET which you can also watch on the online feed (see link below).
Speaking of the time change, if you live in the US, don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour this morning. There are two 1am hours Sunday night, giving us a wonderful extra hour of sleep and making us all an hour early to church. This post was written in the first 1am hour–trippy, I know. If you live in Arizona, you don’t have to worry about a time change because Arizona does not participate in Daylight Saving Time…that is except if you live on a Navajo reservation in Arizona because the entire Navajo Nation participates in Daylight Saving Time, even in Arizona. You may not believe me about that right now because you are just waking up on a Sunday morning and you are either groggy, hungover, or both, but I promise that, unlike everything else on Eventing Nation, that is true. Now, here are your links:
