It’s a quiet but beautiful Friday at Fair Hill
Links: Live Scores, Ride Times
–Kelli Temple and Axel Rose delivered a very good test Friday morning to take the lead in the CCI3*. Axel Rose was a little tense in his transition to the canter and in the flying changes, but his beautiful movement elsewhere made up for the tension and then some. David is here this weekend coaching the Canadians and Axel Rose is definitely a horse to keep an eye on for the future.
1. Kelli Temple and Axel Rose 52.22. Katie Willis and Polar Storm 56.23. Kelly Sult and Hollywood 57.24. Colin Davidson and Draco 60.05. Kate Brown and Mojito 62.6
Ashley Leith rode very well with Jet in the CCI3* Friday morning
–Most of the dressage heavy-hitters in the CCI3* ride Friday afternoon and I expect big changes to the top of the leader board by this evening. Quintus 54, Cruise Lion, Rolling Stone, St. Barths are just a few of the really good horses on the flat who will compete at Fair Hill this afternoon.
–In the CCI2*, the top three from Thursday has remained unchanged through Friday morning. Clark Montgomery and Loughan GLen lead with a 45.3 and are trailed by Erin Sylvester with No Boundaries and Sharon White with Russian Roulette.
Go eventing.
