The first run of the day was supposed to go at 12:40 p.m. ET, but has been pushed back just a bit to 1:00 p.m. ET. You can get a fence-by-fence preview of the course here or a drone flyover of the course here. USEF Network will be running a livestream for the CIC3* rounds with our own Jenni Autry commentating alongside Karen O’Connor! You can watch here.

With the delay, we’ve recalculated the ride times as follows (barring additional delays):

As you can see, there was one withdrawal overnight, Matthew Brown and Super Socks BCF. Phillip Dutton will ride the second-placed Mr. Candyman out of order to allow him time to get all three of his rides in today.

1:16 ET – William Coleman and Soupcon de Brunet on course and looking very sharp, huge gallop on this horse.

 1:17 ET – Boyd Martin and Welcome Shadow now on course, Boyd looking no worse for the wear from his fall in the two-star earlier today.

1:37 ET – Word is that a frangible pin is broken at fence #6 –  Liz Riley and It’s the Truth will be charged with launching the pin and it appears they’ve retired, but they’re making the fix and have us back underway momentarily.

1:55 ET – Robin Walker on course with Freedoms Light

1:57 ET – Lillian Heard and Arundel are on the final stretch, and rode very aggressively through the angled kennels and clear through final fences – she will have some time faults but she looks very pleased!

1: 58 ET – Canadian combo Lisa Marie Fergusson and Honor Me on course now, this horse looks incredibly athletic. (Jenni tells us he’s a welsh cob/TB cross)

1:59 ET – Robin Walker has some sticky moments in the ruins but Robin coaches him through it like a champ and they’re clear through there.

2:00 ET – Robin Walker and Freedoms Light complete their first CIC3*, well done!

2:17 ET – Score update: If these scores hold, they’re currently showing Sharon White and Cooley on Show as our first double clear to put her into first place for the moment! Lisa Marie Fergusson and Honor Me also had a double clear round to put them provisionally in sixth.

2:18 ET – Megan and Palm Crescent wrap up their round beautifully through the kennels and final water. This is a very exciting prospect for Megan!

2:33 ET – Emily Hammel and Ramsey have a gutting stop in the final water and after circling get through it.

2:34 ET – Will Coleman out on his second horse aboard Tight Lines, a lovely big gray.

2:35 ET – Will through the angled brushes at 13.

2:36 ET – Jennie Brannigan now out aboard I Bella.

2:37 ET – We can confirm a retirement on course, Gina and Calidore. Sounds like they’re okay but living to fight another day.

2:38 ET – Will and Tight Lines living up to their names and cruising through the ruins and angled kennels. Had a bit of a skip stride in the final water but they’re through clear!

 2:39 ET – Jennie and I Bella clear through the angled brushes and ruins.

2:40 ET – Hallie Coon and Celien out on course now.

2:42 ET – Jennie and I Bella are clean in the final water and over the final fence, we assume with a handful of time. We’ll bring you their official score as soon as we get it.

2:43 ET – Will Faudree out on course now aboard 10-year-old Hans Dampf, lovely prospect from Europe.

2:44 ET – Hallie Coon and Celien clean through the ruins and kennels.

2:45 ET – Hallie and Celien have a very fast round that’s perfectly competitive with a string of world-class riders. She’s surely pleased as punch with that.

2:47 ET – Buck Davidson and Park Trader are out now.

2:48 ET – Will Faudree clear through the ruins despite a sticky moment and over the angled kennels.

2:49 ET – Will and Hans have a hard rub going into the water and activate the frangible pin on the drop log.

2:50 ET – Buck has a fall at the far end of the course, but both he and Park Trader are up and okay, if not sorely disappointed.

2:51 ET – Boyd Martin and Crackerjack make several efforts on course before being held while they repair the two frangible pin repairs on course – one for Will, and one for the big oxer which Buck activated in his fall.

2:53 ET – This long hold will unfortunately come with Boyd out on course and just Ryan Wood and Phillip Dutton left to go on their third horses of the day, respectively.

2:55 ET – Our top ten current appears as follows:

top-ten-temp

2:56 ET – They’re back underway and Boyd is straight back into his full gallop and over the oxer that spelled trouble for Buck.

2:58 ET – Ryan Wood and Powell are now out as well.

2:59 ET – Boyd and Crackers through the ruins and clean through the angled kennels, as well as the final water.

3:00 ET – The hold makes it tricky to know Boyd’s time, but we’ll let you know as soon as we’ve got something official.

3:01 ET – Ryan and Powell are clean through the first water and angled brushes.

3:02 ET – Phillip Dutton and I’m So Ready are out now and will be looking to sew like the wind and attempt to nab the win.

3:03 ET – Ryan is still clear through the course so far, and Phillip and I’m Sew Ready clean through the first water.

3:04 ET – Ryan and Powell are clear through the final water and heading into the final fences, though they don’t look like they’ll be in it with a competitive time. As soon as we know, we’ll update you.

 3:05 ET – Phillip and I’m Sew Ready hung a leg doing down the ruins drop, but stay on their feet and don’t even register the blip on their way through the rest of the complex.

3:07 ET – Textbook through the angled kennels, looking great on time as they cross the flags!

Phillip and I'm Sew Ready

Phillip and I’m Sew Ready

3:08 ET – The word is that Phillip Dutton had 10.8 time on I’m Sew Ready to flip his two top rides in the leaderboard. He’ll win it with Mr. Candyman and take either second or third on I’m Sew Ready! Still waiting on a time for Ryan Wood and Boyd Martin, but we suspect Boyd captured the third slot.

3:11 ET – Ryan Wood and Powell add 20.4 time penalties to finish in 13th place. We’re still waiting on Boyd’s score, as there’s a bit more math to be done with the hold during his round.

3:13 ET – We’re hearing word that unfortunately Buck Davidson broke his collarbone in his fall. We’re sending him some healing vibes after a rough day!

3:15 ET – Overall, however, it was a day low in jumping penalties with two retirements, two pairs with refusals, and Buck’s fall on the Mike Etherington-Smith course. It was the time penalties that completely shook up today’s standings. Sharon White appears to have made the most out of a fast trip today, using one of the rare double clears to catapult from 11th to the provisionally fourth slot aboard Cooley On Show.

3:18 ET – Word is in! Boyd and Crackerjack turns out to be our third double-clear, good enough to split Phillip’s hat trick and nab the second place slot. Congratulations to all the riders on a great day of sport! Here is the final top ten:
