[RC] WEC - appy cross - Lucy Chaplin TrumbullLaurie wrote: > BTW- who is the appy? cross? #1 Not sure what those #s were... maybe something to do with vetting in, as they don't seem to be related to the actual race #s? The appy cross is Peter Toft's horse, Electra BBP Murdoch. Cool horse! He brought him (her?) to Tevis a couple of years ago, having never pre-ridden any of it, and top fived. Last year he didn't turn up, although he was signed up. And he's signed up again this year. It'll be *really* interesting to see how that goes. :) The Tofts (wife Penny is also on the Aus. team) have 300 horse - yet Murdoch is the only spotted one. What are the chances? Watching the live web cam was *hilarious*. So freaky to watch something live from thousands of miles away, while sitting in my office (just as well, a fast connection. My 28.8kb connection at home won't cope with it). The feed seems a bit flaky and comes and goes (gone right now), but still fun never the less. I especially liked the part where the [gorgeous] loose horse set off down the track at a gallop ahead of all the others. Hope they catch him and reunite him with the rider. Interesting to see the "racers" followed by the more sane riders. http://www.webmediaconsultancy.info/end%5Fdxb%5F2005/ Hopefully we'll get a chance to see the US team - #180 through #185 - at some stage. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Lucy Chaplin Trumbull elsietee AT foothill DOT net Repotted english person in the Sierra foothills, California * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
