The drawn order for the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event has been released! Oliver Townend and CCI4* first-timer Cooley SRS has been drawn as the first to go of the 58 starters.
Three-time defending winners Michael Jung and fischerRocana FST are #15 and will go early on Thursday for the first day of dressage.
Lauren Kieffer and Landmark’s Monte Carlo are #58 and will be the final combination to go on the second day of dressage, as well as the last pair out on Derek di Grazia’s cross country course.
With 18 days to go until the first horse inspection on Wednesday, April 25, we already have several notable withdrawals. William Fox-Pitt has withdrawn Fernhill Pimms. Kurt Martin has withdrawn DeLux Z. Katie Ruppel has also withdrawn Houdini.
The current number of 58 starters includes six combinations that are also cross-entered for the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials: Lauren Kieffer and Veronica; Phillip Dutton and Fernhill Cubalawn; Will Coleman and OBOS O’Reilly; and Oliver Townend with all three of his horses, Cooley SRS, Cooley Master Class, and MHS King Joules.
If Oliver elects to run Cooley SRS at Badminton instead, Buck Davidson and Park Trader will be our pathfinders in the #1 position.
