Sunday was a historic day at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event for rider Michael Jung, who became the first rider to win the event three consecutive times. But the nine off-track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs) that started at Rolex weren’t as lucky.
The first phase of dressage started off well for the group with Houdini (registered name Rocky Times) leading dressage during the lunch break on Thursday. Houdini wasn’t able to keep that lead but was sitting in 12th at the end of the phase, leading all OTTBs going into the rest of the weekend.
