As more & more eventers become cognizant of bloodlines that excel in their sport, the change is noticeable in how PA announcers treat riders on course.
Certainly no need to watch the entire video, but before the 2nd fence xc you can hear Harry identified as a TK gelding.

Thanks Fiona. Yes, the fences are big @ RF and their course designers always give the horses plenty to look at. In fact there was a BIG controversy this year when CIC3* competitor Alison Springer's horse Arthur had a complete meltdown over the life-sized horse (made of horseshoes) in SJ, picking up 28 jumping penalties and dropping from 1st (by 10pts) to final 11th.
That horseshoe horse also on the xc course (hitched to the wagon in Western Town) - you can see HH gallop by it shortly after 2nd water (approx. 3:30 on vid) where it made a few horses look but so far as I know, didn't cause any JP's.
