William Fox-Pitt (GBR) has taken out the first leg of the HSBC FEI Classics, the Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event, with Cool Mountain, who was making his 4-star debut.

“He is a pleasure to train,” said Fox-Pitt. “He is very straightforward and genuine, and I have always felt there was more to come. I am absolutely thrilled with him, though – to win is beyond my wildest dreams.”

Fox-Pitt’s nearest rival, Kimberley Severson (USA) had a most unfortunate Jumping round – a total of 32 faults (24 jumping, 12 time) and plummeted to 25th, and it was the 2008 winner, and former Aussie Phillip Dutton (USA), who rose three places to second on Woodburn with a clear round.

Becky Holder (USA) retained third place on Courageous Comet with just one rail, but former Aussie Boyd Martin’s meteoric rise continued, up another four places to fourth on Neville Bardos, and Canadian Stephanie Rhodes-Bosch and Port Authority continued upwards, to eventual fifth place with a clean sheet. In addition, she won the HSBC Training Bursary for the best-placed first-time 4-star competitor.

Oliver Townend (GBR) was rushed to hospital after a fall in the cross country phase. He was discharged from hospital in the morning, but having sustained minor injuries, he could not jump his ODT Master Rose and so withdrew.

37 horses completed the competition with nine  clear jumping rounds.
