11:45: Kelly Prather and Blackfoot Mystery make quick work of the new arena complex, which has two big angled brush wedges separated by one stride at 11b and 12. We’ll see if it keeps riding that smoothly for the others.
11:51: Allie Knowles and Sound Prospect pick up 20 jumping penalties at fence 12 in the main arena. I think I jinxed her!
11:54: Kelly and B come home clear and six seconds under the time. They were sitting in fourth place after dressage so will hold a spot at the top of the leaderboard. A super trailblazing round!
11:55: Liz Riley and It’s the Truth pick up 20 penalties at fence 10, the table coming down into the main arena. They jumped fine through the main arena complex after that.
11:58: Liz Riley and It’s the Truth pick up their second refusal on course at fence 17 at the Jersey Shore.
12:05: Lauren Kieffer and Meadowbrook’s Scarlett are home clear. We’re waiting on their time. Holly Payne and Santino are on course now.
12:06: Lauren Kieffer and Scarlett are home clear and bang on the optimum time to become our second double clear. She takes the lead in the early going and will finish the day no worse than second.
12:08: Holly Payne takes a circle on Santino between the brush wedges in the main arena. Those are numbered 11b and 12, so that’s totally OK. She’s the first to do that so far.
12:10: Michael Pollard and Ballingowan Pizazz come home clear with 6.8 time penalties.
12:11: Buck Davidson also takes a circle between 11b and 12 in the main arena with Wiley Post. Holly Payne and Santino bounce through the Jersey Shore for the second time to huge cheers from the crowd.
12:14: Holly Payne and Santino come home clear and 10 seconds over the time. Go Sunny!
12:15: Beaulieu’s Cayenne has springs for days through the main arena complex with Julie Richards. This little mare is making quick work of the course so far.
12:18: Buck Davidson and Wiley Post are home clear and inside the time, the third double clear of the division.
12:20: A big pat for Castle Larchfield Purdy as he makes the direct route look easy in the main arena with Lauren Billys. They are clear so far.
12:22: Julie Richards and Beaulieu’s Cayenne come home double clear, six seconds inside the time. That’s our fourth double clear.
12:24: Holly Jacks and More Inspiration also circle between 11b and 12 in the main arena. They are clear so far.

12:30: Holly Jacks-Smith and More Inspiration are home clear just 1 second over the time.
12:31: Happenstance looks spot on in the main arena taking the direct route with Matt Brown. They are clear so far.
12:34: Colleen Rutledge and Escot 6 come home 16 seconds under the time — our fifth double clear of the division.
12:36: Justine Dutton gives Jollybo a big pat after clearing the main arena complex. This is their first CCI3*. Go girl go!

12:41: Justine Dutton and Jollybo complete their first CCI3* cross country clear with 18.8 time penalties.
12:46: Boyd Martin and Pancho Villa complete the course clear just 1 second over the time. That moves them into third place currently.
12:48: Jessica Bortner-Harris and Win the War take a crazy flyer at fence 12 in the main arena but get it done. Bug is a saint! They are clear so far.
12:51: Ashley Johnson and Tactical Maneuver complete the course clear with just 2 time penalties.
12:54: Jessica Bortner-Harris and Win the War are home clear with 6 time penalties. Lillian Heard and LCC Barnaby are on course now.

1:01: Phillip Dutton and I’m Sew Ready are clear through the main arena. Buck Davidson and Ballynoe Castle RM are on course now.
1:04: Ballynoe Castle RM jumps huge over the table at 11a. He’s eating this course up and clear so far. Reggie has finished second at this event but never won it.
1:05: Phillip Dutton and I’m Sew Ready have fallen late on course at the final combination when the horse got his legs hung up on the table at fence 26a. Huge bummer. Both Phillip and Jackson are OK. Just two fences from home. Gutting.
1:06: We have confirmed that Jessica Phoenix has been moved to Robert Wood Johnson Trauma Center to further evaluate her injuries and monitor her after she fell from Exultation in the CCI2*. She is in stable condition. We do not have any specific information on her injuries at this time.
1:08: Buck Davidson and Ballynoe Castle RM are clear and galloping for home. Just three fences to go.
1:09: Buck and Reggie are home clear to huge cheers from the crowd. We are waiting on their time.
1:10: Buck and Reggie are double clear to hold the lead going into show jumping. That’s our eighth double clear.
1:12: You wouldn’t know this is BCF Belicoso’s first CCI3* with the way his tearing around this course. Go Matt go!
