Since the Canadian Team has already been chosen, this edition of the SmartPak Power Ranking will feature only the US horses still up for selection. Up for your vote are the 11 12 Short List horses set to train in England and compete at the final outing at Barbury Castle. Which 5 pairs would you pick to bring home a gold medal? Remember, the top three scores will count, so you may choose to gamble on two team members who are potentially “high risk/high reward.”
The US Short List, which has arrived in England in style:
Phillip Dutton/Mystery Whisper – Bay warmblood gelding (12) owned by Arden & James Wildasin.
Phillip Dutton/Mighty Nice – Bay ISH gelding (8) owned by R. Bruce Duchossois
