PARKER
b. g., 16.3 hands, 10 years, U.S.-bred Thoroughbred (Marquetry—Hello Mom, Caveat), owned by the rider.

JAMES ALLISTON (GBR)
age 27, Castro Valley, Calif.

This pair placed seventh at the Galway Downs CCI*** (Calif.), third at The Event at Woodside CIC*** (Calif.), and 14th in the Rolex Kentucky CCI**** last year. In 2012, they finished second in the advanced at Galway Downs.

Parker, the less experienced of James’ two entries, will be here more for education than competition, and he should return in 2013 with a much improved partnership.
