On Anne Jones\’ The Foreman, Phillip Dutton and The Foreman came within a rail of winning the Burghley CCI**** (England) on Sunday, Sept. 4. Dutton and The Foreman—winners of the Fair Hill CCI*** (Md.) last October and runners-up at the Rolex Kentucky CCI**** in April—were the only pair to finish on their dressage score.

But it wasn\’t quite enough to top William Fox-Pitt of Great Britain, who lowered two rails with Ballincoola but held grimly to a 2.7-penalty lead over Dutton. Andrew Nicholson of New Zealand was third on Lord Killinghurst, and Mary King of Great Britain was fourth on Call Again Cavalier. Nicholson also finished eighth on Puddles. And Dutton finished 10th on Amazing Odyssey, moving up from 12th despite lowering three rails.

American hopes ended suddenly on Saturday when Kim Severson and Winsome Adante suffered an unprecedented fall on the cross-country course and were eliminated because the horse had fallen. The Rolex Kentucky winners were second after dressage. Winsome Adante apparently has no serious injuries. Severson was airlifted to a hospital, but the only reports so far are that her injuries are not life-threatening. Winsome Adante did not land on top of her when he fell.

Buck Davidson and Private Treaty retired on steeplechase, after a fall, and U.S.-based Imtiaz Anees of India withdrew Freetown before cross-country.

Emma Winter, who still rides for her native Great Britain but lives in Georgia and is married to Canadian Mike Winter, finished 36th with Mahogany Chief, incurring 4.8 steeplechase time faults, 44.4, cross-country time faults, and 29 show jumping faults.

Olympic gold medalist Leslie Law retired Shear H2O on cross-country.

Seven of the top 10 finishers were from Australia or New Zealand, with the remaining three from Great Britain.
