All 12 CCI3* pairs were accepted in the first horse inspection at the Ocala Jockey Club International Three-Day Event this afternoon under an overcast sky here in Reddick, Florida. Jo Young (CAN), Peter Gray (CAN) and Janet Surr (GBR) have the honor of serving on the ground jury for the inaugural CCI3*, as well as the CCI2*.

In the CCI2*, four horses were sent to the holding box: Katie Ruppel’s mount A Sportsfield Diamond, Sara Mittleider’s mount La Paz, Shelby Brost’s mount Crimson and Autumn Schweiss’s mount Global AKD Corline.
