Who’s Hot To Win: For the Chronicle’s World Equestrian Games Preview Issue, we asked some top experts to tell us who they thought would be heading home with some new hardware around their necks. Rodrigo Pessoa shared his thoughts on how show jumping will shake out; Clayton Fredericks weighed in on who’s hot to win in eventing, and Carl Hester wrote about the top dressage contenders. Hope Hand handicapped the para-dressage; top competitor Boyd Exell gave us a look at who to keep an eye on in driving; former world champion Valerie Kanavy broke down endurance for us; U.S. chef d’équipe Jeff Petska looked at who could upset the U.S.’s perfect record in reining, and Alicen Divita took a look at the vaulting. See what else is in the issue in the Table Of Contents.
