The Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event published the final list of accepted entries for this year’s event, and 90 horses are slated to trot up for the first horse inspection in just three weeks.

Competitors with more than three horses entered have made their final selections on who they’ll be bringing. Buck Davidson will ride Petite Flower, Park Trader and Copper Beach — no Ballynoe Castle RM this year. Boyd Martin has narrowed his entries down to Blackfoot Mystery, Shamwari 4 and Steady Eddie.

Lynn Symansky and Donner are still on the entry list, but they also received a Land Rover USEF Competition Grant to compete at Badminton this year. Oliver Townend has withdrawn Black Tie, leaving Panda Christie as the only British rider traveling across the pond to compete this year.

Last year’s winners Michael Jung and fischerRocana FST are the sole competitors from Germany, ready to face off against Tim Price and Wekso, who finished in second place last year. Tim will also ride Bango, joining four other combinations representing New Zealand: Blyth Tait and Xanthus III, Mark Todd and NZB Campino, Jock Paget and Clifton Signature, and Joe Meyer and Clip Clop

We have 15 Rolex Rookies on the entry list this year: Matt Brown, Katherine Coleman, Courtney Cooper, Lisa Marie Fergusson, Sydney Conley Elliott, Eliza Farren, Philippa Humphreys, Holly Jacks-Smither, Ashley Johnson, Avery Klunick, Caroline Martin, Kurt Martin, Maddy Mazzola, Daniela Moguel and Nilson Moreira da Silva. Stay tuned for their profiles in the coming weeks.
