3:14 pm: Tim Price and Wesko

Tim has one vertical down, and that’ll drop him down to second place. Michael Jung is your Rolex Kentucky winner! 

3:10 pm: Michael Jung and La Biosthetique Sam FBW

Michael Jung is already confirmed third on FischerRocana FST, but he has the potential to be higher with Sam…

The scores are SO tight here at the top. If Michael jumps clear, Tim can’t even afford a single time fault. 

BUT Michael has the last rail of the triple combination! That’ll move his mare up one position. 

And another rail for Sam! He finishes with the 8 jumping faults on 44.7 penalties. Michael’s giving Sam plenty of pats for the effort. 

3:08 pm: William Fox-Pitt and Bay My Hero

William of course being last year’s Rolex winner with this Bay My Hero. He returns today in the fourth-placed position after having some time penalties on cross-country. 

This pair puts in a double-clear that’s never really in doubt. They’ll stay on 46.9 penalties. 

3:05 pm: Bill Levett and Improvise 

Bill and Improvise start this phase in fifth on 48.6 penalties. 

They have the second and third elements of the triple combination down. And then another oxer down as well. He finishes on 60.6

3:02 pm: Boyd Martin and Master Frisky

Boyd is the highest-placed US rider after cross-country, sitting sixth. He admitted the horse is a bit of an inconsistent show jumper, and he was worried about today!

2:59 pm: Will Coleman and Obos O’Reilly

Will Coleman won a Land Rover lease yesterday! He was the US rider closest to optimum time.

Covert Rights was the best-placed US horse after dressage, and he jumped clear with time yesterday. Colleen bred “CR.”

He has down the first fence and then another vertical. That’ll finish her on 62.3, and she drops down two places to 11th. 

2:52 pm: Nicola Wilson and Annie Clover

A bit of a tense moment when this horse was held this morning, but she passed on the reinspection. 

And they pick up a double clear for Great Britain! 

2:49 pm: Elisa Wallace and Simply Priceless

Yet another Rolex rookie who had a super clear yesterday. They have down the second fence, an oxer, and then both rails of the double combination. They also pull the first of the triple, another vertical, and they’re done with 78.0 penalties. That’ll drop them down to 18th. 

2:46 pm: Lynn Symansky and Donner

One vertical comes down and the last oxer, so they finish on 72.6 penalties.

2:39 pm: Michael Jung and FischerRocana FST

They’re going out of order since Michael has TWO horses in the top three placings. This mare is in third on 39.3. 

“Rocana” is such a tidy jumper. This could also be a hunter round! 

They are, of course, double clear. Michael’s guarunteed at least third now. 

2:37: Buck Davidson and Petite Flower

Buck had a great round on this little mare yesterday, just some time penalties. Flower is definitely not looking spent today…

And they get another double clear! That’s just our third today at this point. They finish on 68.0.

OK now we have Cody going out of order after the horse lost a shoe in the warm-up earlier. 

They have eight rails, finishing on a score of 99.9 penalties.

1:59 pm: Boyd Martin and Crackerjack

Boyd gave Crackerjack a masterful ride around the horse’s first four-star yesterday. He said the gelding tired slightly about halfway through the course, so they coasted home with some time. They start show jumping in 21st.

1:45 pm: Buck Davidson and The Apprentice

The Apprentice is jumping huge this afternoon, really lofting up over the fences! He has one rail down and then stops into the second element of the triple. The second time through, he pulls two rails of the triple. 

They have 14 time and then the stop and 24 jumping penalties. Their finishing score is 113.8, and that’ll drop them down some places.

1:24 pm: Laine Ashker and Anthony Patch

They’re going out of order, in front of Cody Sturgess as his horse has thrown a shoe, and they’re fixing it now. Laine’s in 33rd after cross-country. 

Aaaand that’s our first clear round! She did pick up a time penalty, but she was clear over the fences. 

1:22 pm: Dana Widstrand and Relentless Pursuit 

This pair in 40th after cross-country. Another one with the first rail down! She has the first rail of the triple down, and then the horse stops at the second element. The second time through, Relentless Pursuit stops at the C element, and they are sadly eliminated.

1:05 pm: Angela Grzywinski and Novelle

Two rails down for this pair, and Angela looks happy with that! The crowd is pretty excited right now; they’re cheering and clapping after almost every fence.

A bit of a rough round for this pair, and they have down 10 rails and some time and finish on a score of 201.6. 

12:40 pm: In case you missed it, there was a fair amount of excitement at this morning’s jog. 

(Tim Price’s Wesko was looking fresh, and they easily sailed through the inspection.)
