Karen O’Connor and Mr. Medicott’s victory gallop
After a double-clear show jumping round, all indications are that only the US team post-Bromont vet evaluations stands between Mr. Medicott and his spot on the US Olympic short list. Karen and Mr. Medicott won the CIC3* division by 4.3 points ahead of Will Faudree and Andromaque, who also jumped a double-clear. The next two places remained unchanged as well, with Clark Montgomery and Loughan Glen finishing on their dressage score of 48.0 and Will Faudree adding just a rail today with Pawlow to finish on 53.8. Rebecca Howard and Riddle Master of Canada rounded out the top 5.
The CIC3* division was followed by the Olympic observation rounds for the pairs that withdrew Friday night. I’ll be back shortly with a full report from combined test show jumping rounds and what it all means for Olympic short list selection. Stay tuned for much, much more. Go eventing.
