Live timing
On ride day this page is the championship: the leaderboard, every loop time, every recovery time and every vet-gate result as they happen, with GPS tracking of every horse on the course. From the 05:45 start to the final inspection.
Ride day
The official timing system records every horse leaving the Village and every horse arriving, the time it takes to be presented at the vet gate, its heart rate and the inspection result, and publishes them here as they happen. The same feed drives the LED displays at the Village and the official mobile app.
The ranking at any moment is by cumulative ride time for the loops completed, so the leader on the course is not always the leader on the board until the horses are back through the gate. A horse that fails an inspection drops off the board with the reason recorded.
Results are provisional until the Ground Jury confirms them; the final classification follows the final inspection and the best-condition judging.
Estimates at about 22 km/h plus presentation and holds. Replaced by live times on the day.
