Watching twitter for the cross country: looks like the course is a bit slippery and lots of spills.

Natter 70: Hookers and Blow
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Horses in the Morning says that lots of the competitors complained that the course was mown too short - which makes it more slippery if there is rain. (It rained quite a bit yesterday.)
Aw, Sumi, I'm sorry about your cat. Can you take her to the vet? Or is this just it? (I don't know how old she is or in what kind of health generally....)
She is just about 20.
oh 20, sweet old cat. sorry she is not feeling well.
Yeah, at first I thought she just wasn't recovering from our absurdly hot weather but she does sound a bit stuffy - which is why, I think, her food is appealing to her.
Thinking of getting something like tuna which is extra stinky to dress up her food.
Hope your kitty gets better soon, sumi. Stinky food sounds like a good next step.
Thank you, smonster.

Eventingnation has the Horse and Hound's liveblog and their own "open" cross-country post.
Glad to see that both Karen O'Connor and Mr. Medicott and Boyd Martin and Otis went clear - with just timefaults .
This page tells you which riders are on course and who is on deck. (And has the complete order of go.)

Yeah, that sounds good. Poor old girl.
