With the Eagles’ recent off season moves, this year’s bet between Jon Holling and Buck might go differently
Buck Davidson and Carl Segal’s Ballynoecastle RM stepped their game up, as we like to say here on EN, and took a 4 point lead in the advanced B division at Millbrook. Granted, the B division doesn’t have quite the dressage firepower as the A division, in which Boyd and Neville took the lead on Thursday, but Buck should be very pleased with a 29.1. Phillip and Mighty Nice are in second with a 33.4. Joe Meyer and the 19 year old Snip are in 3rd. Michael Pollard is just outside of the medals with one of his newer horses, the very talented DV8, and he is tied with veterinarian and Pan American short list alternate Kevin Keane with his Fernhill Flutter. EN guest blogger Lisa Marie Fergusson of Canada is in 12th with Smart Move in their first advanced together. Boyd is in a three-way tie for 14th with his former 4* ride Ying Yang Yo. They have been reunited by owner Faye Wolf and are taking things one event at a time.
