Designer Derek Di Grazia, builder Mick Costello, and their entire teams have done a wonderful job preparing the Rolex 2012 course. I spoke with Derek briefly who told me the footing is right on track thanks to the portable watering system they use at the Kentucky Horse Park. As you will see, the course is very similar to last year–if it works well, keep doing it. The first thing I notice from walking the course is that the combinations are some of the biggest I have ever seen at Rolex, particularly the first water and the quarry.
I’ll try to add labels to the photos after the jog, time permitting. Go Rolex.
