We now know that Michael Jung can win a four-star nearly any time he wants—nearly any time he enters. So if there’s any suspense left in the eventing world it’s this: Can Jung ride his winning streak—extended with today’s massive victory at the Rolex Kentucky CCI****—into a Rolex Grand Slam victory at next week’s Mitsubishi Motors Badminton CCI****?
The show jumping for Rolex Kentucky kicks off with the first horse in the ring here at 12:50 p.m. You can follow along with our live commentary here throughout the class!
We call Michael Jung "The Terminator," and he just terminated everybody else’s chances today.
When he canters into the Rolex Stadium in fischerRocana FST for tomorrow’s show jumping, Michael Jung will have three rails in hand over Phillip Dutton on Fernhill Fugitive. Part of that lead was based on Jung’s dressage score, but then he massively extended it by jumping the only near-clear (0.8 time penalties) over Derek di Grazia’s cross-country track today.

On a rainy, muddy day, Michael Jung turned in a masterful cross-country performance at the Rolex Kentucky CCI**** aboard FischerRocana FST to keep his commanding lead.

Watch how he did it:
