We’ve had some updates to the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event, presented by MARS Equestrian entry list this morning with some key withdrawals.
Phillip Dutton has withdrawn Denim from what was to be his CCI5* debut as the first in the order. Phillip posted on social media that the 9-year-old Denim was cross-entered in Kentucky as well as Tryon’s CCI4*-L a few weeks later and that he’s opting for one more 4*-L with the younger horse before tackling the next level. This change will shift Sara Kozumplik and Edy Rameika’s Rock Phantom to the top of the order.
A minor injury will also keep Timmo, the entry of Germany’s Nicolai Aldinger, from boarding his flight to the States:
Additional withdrawals prior to the drawn order being published include Emily Hamel and Corvett, who will instead of taking on the USEF European Development Tour starting in May, as well as Sydney Solomon and Early Review C (switched to the CCI4*-S), Grace Taylor and Game Changer, as well as Ros Canter and Izilot DHI. We also anticipate the withdrawal of Meghan O’Donoghue‘s entry, Palm Crescent, as they aim for Badminton two weeks after Kentucky.
