Lexington, Ky.—April 30 Dan Kreitl could hardly believe he was seated between Phillip Dutton and Liz-Halliday-Sharp at Saturday’s press conference after cross-country at the Lexington CCI4*-S, but he earned his place, finishing as the only double-clear round aboard Kay and Steve Dixon’s Carmango. Halliday-Sharp is in second with Cooley Quicksilver, and Dutton is in third […]
Lexington, Ky.—April 30 Derek di Grazia’s cross-country courses are known for being unrelenting, but apparently no one told Michael Jung. “That was just 11 minutes [of] fun,” Jung said Saturday after crossing the finish on fischerChipmunk FRH 11 seconds under the optimum time of 11 minutes, 4 seconds. ““I’m very proud of my horse,” he said. “I’m absolutely […]
Lexington, Ky.—April 29 It’s been four years since Michael Jung galloped around the Kentucky Horse Park on his prolific partner and three-time Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event winner fischerRocana FST. “Roxy” is now retired at home and busy being a mother to a new filly. So this year, Jung returned to Kentucky with his rising star, […]
Lexington, Ky.—April 29 Ten years ago when Booli Selmayr met Jess Halliday at a horse trials, she knew instantly they’d be friends. “We just became each other’s people,” she recalled. “She literally was my other half. She’s one of those people who could finish your sentence, finish your thoughts, and you never have to explain […]
Lexington, Ky.—April 29 Derek di Grazia has earned a reputation for designing deceptively difficult cross-country courses, and this year’s Land Rover Kentucky CCI5*-L is no different. “Derek is very clever in how he manages to make something that doesn’t seem like it’s going to ride that hard ride really difficult, and that’s where the problems […]
Lexington, Ky.—April 29 After a strong spring season last year, Starr Witness was conspicuously absent from the eventing start lists in the autumn. Between preparing for the Tokyo Olympics with his veteran campaigner Vandiver, a full competition schedule with his jumpers, and that he wasn’t aiming the mare toward a five-star, rider Doug Payne decided to save […]
Lexington, Ky.—April 28 Fleeceworks Royal did her first advanced horse trial in 2017 at age 8, but it wasn’t until she cantered down centerline Thursday with Tamie Smith that she made her five-star debut. A series of setbacks over the years, from a corneal transplant to an airway obstruction, slowed her progress to the top […]
The decision to become a U.S. Marine had long ping-ponged around in Connor Hankin’s head, but to the greater steeplechase racing world, it came as a shock. He was having his best season yet as an amateur jockey when, on Aug. 25, 2016—with 41 starts, horses earning over $300,000 in prize money and a No. […]
Lexington, Ky.—April 28 Liz Halliday-Sharp brought three very different types of horses to the Lexington CCI4*-S at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event, but they all have one thing in common: She’s produced each through most of their eventing careers. After Thursday’s first day of dressage, she’s leading the division with the most experienced of the three, […]
