Olympic Trot Up News - 2 Horses fail trot up

Posted on Friday, 08 August 2008 12:07PM by
News from this evenings trot up - the horse from Chile Literal and Butterfly from Brazil will not be starting the competition after failing the first horse inspection. 

There were also anxious moments for William Fox-Pitt's ride Parkmore Ed when he was sent to the holding box. The ground jury was concerned over the presence of a girth gall just behind the saddle, but after conferring with vets they passed the horse.

"It's a first for me," said William. "The gall was caused by the girth being too tight or rubbing. He's had it for a few days, but ironically today it was more swollen. I hope by the time the next inspection occurs they'll have more important things to worry about."

Britain's team order has now been confirmed with William and Parkmore Ed running second behind pathfinders Daisy Dick and Spring Along. Tina Cook and Miners Frolic will be number three, Sharon Hunt and Tankers Town will run as number four, with Mary King and Call Again Cavalier running last.
