8:30: We’re underway! Buck Davidson and No Remorse are our first on course.
8:36: Jessica Phoenix has parted ways with Exultation at fence 6, a hanging log with a steep drop on the back. Looks like she fell off on landing. The horse is OK and the medical team is tending to Jessica.
8:37: We have a hold on course while the medics help Jessica. We will update you on her status as soon as we can.
8:39: Buck Davidson and No Remorse come home clear and 10 seconds under the time. We are still under a hold.
8:43: We have word that the medical team is stabilizing Jessica Phoenix. Exultation a is OK after the fall. We are still under a hold.
8:46: We have word that Jessica is alert and talking to the medical team.
8:47: Jessica is being transported off the course. We will continue to bring you updates as we can. We are about to get back underway.
8:48: We are running on a 12 minute delay due to the hold on course.
8:53: Lillian Heard and FYI have a glance off at 9b, the chevron in the main arena.
8:54: Mai Baum threw a shoe in warmup and will be running out of order. The farrier is heading to tack it back on.
9:01: Lillian Heard and FYI are home with 20 jumping penalties and 23.6 time penalties.
9:05: Kevin Bumgardner and Wembley are the first to take the direct route at the Jersey Shore. Wembley stumbled up the bank but Kevin got it done!
9:06: Marley Stone Bourke popped off Kilrodan Ambassador when the horse slipped near the trakehner at fence 8. She is OK. Huge bummer.
9:08: Kevin and Wembley are home clear and just 2 seconds over the time. A great ride for him.
9:11: Tamie Smith and Mai Baum are still scheduled to go but the horse is still getting his shoe tacked back on after pulling it in warm up.
9:17: Kristen Buffamoyer and Jim are home clear. Madeline Backus and P.S. Ariana are heading home for a clear round. Tamie Smith and Mai Baum are clear through the main arena.
9:23: Tamie Smith and Mai Baum are home double clear to move into the lead!
9:28: We have word that Jessica Phoenix has been transported to the local hospital for evaluation.
9:31: Tik Maynard and Dutch Times are home clear with 7.6 time penalties. They looked textbook through the Jersey Shore.
9:36: Kelsey Briggs and The Gentleman Pirate are home clear with just a few time. Liz Riley and Renaissance are on course now and having a good go.
9:40: Just about every rider is taking the long route at the Jersey Shore so far. It doesn’t add that much time and gives riders more time to get organized for the skinny brush that comes next.
9:42: Liz Riley and Renaissance home clear with 3.6 time penalties.
9:43: Sara Gumbiner and Polaris are our third double clear!
9:47: Ryan Wood and Powell are our fourth double clear. That moves them to second in the standings so far.
9:50: Damn! Woodge Fulton has popped off after fence 23 when Captain Jack slipped on the turn. Huge bummer. They were having a super trip. They are both up and OK.
9:55: Buck Davidson and Carlevo come home clear with a handful of time. They move into second.
10: Matthew Ulmer and Palmetto Conair are our fifth double clear.
10:03: Phillip Dutton and Get Ready finish 14 seconds under the time — that’s the fastest of the day and our sixth double clear.
10:07: Erin Sylvester and Paddy the Caddy blaze home 40 seconds under the time! Our seventh double clear.
10:09: Faolan ducks out at the last minute at fence 18 to pick up 20. They were clear on second attempt.
10:15: Boyd Martin and Welcome Shadow are our eighth double clear.
10:24: Francesca Borginni and Petit Bleu Marine are our ninth double clear!
10:30: Colleen Loach and Qorry Blue D’Argouges are our 10 double clear. The course is riding very well overall. Two of the three falls on course came when horses slipped.
10:35: We are still awaiting an update on Jessica Phoenix’s condition. We are assuming at this point she will be withdrawing Patras VR, who was in second place overnight in this division.
10:39: Adrian Jones and Irish Odyssey are our 11th double clear with a cracking round.
10:42: We have a steady rain falling now in Allentown, which might make things a bit slippery out there. We have already had two horses slipping after fences, which resulted in one RF and one MR.
10:43: Juan Larrazabal and Atlanta are home clear with 16.8 time penalties.
10:47: Ryan Wood and Alcatraz have the 12th double clear round of the day to move into third place. That’s Ryan’s second double clear of the day, as he also made the time with Powell.
10:49: Lauren Kieffer tells Landmark’s Monaco “Good buy!” as he jumps clear through the main arena complex, which has been riding well for the CCI2* division. Just one runout at the arrowhead so far.
10:50: Jessica Phoenix has officially withdrawn all her horses from the competition. She was sitting in second place in the CCI2* with Patras VR, 15th with A Little Romance in the CCI3*, and second in the CIC2* with Pavarotti. Gutting. We are still awaiting word on her condition at the hospital but have been told she is “doing well at present.”
10:52: Peter Barry and Long Island T are home clear with 14.4 time penalties. The horse looked foot perfect through the main arena.
10:53: Overnight leaders Michael Pollard and Cyrano are on course now. They are clear through fence 10.
10:55: Lauren Kieffer and Landmark’s Monaco are home clear and just a few seconds over the time.
10:56: Buck Davidson has been popped out of the tack with Be Mine at fence 7. Both horse and rider are OK.
10:59: Michael Pollard and Cyrano come home clear one second under the time — our 13th double clear of the day. They will keep their lead going into show jumping tomorrow.
11:03: The rain has picked up to a steady downpour now. The final horses and riders on this CCI2* course will be battling less than ideal conditions!
11:05: California girl Tamie Smith showing this heavy rain doesn’t bother her one bit! She’s flying through the main arena on Fleur de Lis and is clear so far on course. Looking fantastic.
11:07: Lillian Heard and Arundel deliver our 14th double clear round in pissing rain. Conditions deteriorating rapidly here in Allentown!
11:11: Tamie Smith and Fleur de Lis come home clear and two seconds under the time to become our 14th double clear. That will put her in both second place with Mai Baum and third place with Fleur de Lis going into cross country tomorrow.
11:12: Mara DePuy and Coolcorron Kinsale are heading for home now clear so far. Waylon Roberts and Bill Owen are our last on course and are clear through seven.
11:15: Mara DePuy and Coolcorron Kinsale are the 16th double clear to move into the top 10.
11:18: Waylon Roberts and Bill Owen are home clear inside the time to become our 17th double clear. That wraps up CCI2* cross country. Stay tuned for the full report on EN! Final top 10 scores are below; click here to view full scores.
