William Fox-Pitt and Parklane Hawk are in control at Rolex after a Saturday double-clear
A big crowd of spectators showed up to watch the small remaining field of Rolex horses jog in front of the Grand Jury at this morning’s final horse inspection. Marilyn Little-Meredith’s horse RF Rovano Rex and Manolo Blahnik, ridden by Sara Kozumplik, withdrew before the final horse inspection, meaning that 30 horses presented this morning. Both of Michael Pollard’s horses were held. Michael withdrew Icarus from the holding area and Wonderful Will passed on reinspection. Heather Morris and Slate River were held and withdrew from the holding area. Barb Crabo and Eveready were held and sadly did not pass upon reinspection. 27 horses will move on tot he Rolex show jumping, which starts at 1:10PM ET (Updated). The course walk starts at 11am. Be sure to tune in at 12:45 for our EN live blog.
As for the official EN fashion report, I’d say Karen or Emily Beshear get my vote for the ladies and Michael Pollard looked good as the only guy choosing a light suit this morning. If you only knew how much effort I put into these fashion reports.
