Australia's Phillip Dutton riding Mrs. Annie Jones' The Foreman had two rails down in the Show Jumping on Sunday. Nonetheless, he held on to first place when Leslie Law, Great Britain's reigning Olympic Gold Medalist, also had two rails and also 2 time faults for a final score of 68.5 and a drop to third place. (Phillip and The Foreman are pictured at the right in the Show Jumping Phase at the Rolex Kentucky CCI****, last April.)

Yesterday, in these pages, the following words appeared, "Jonathan Holling has been on the verge of knocking on the door . . ." Well, scratch that! At Red Hills, Holling knocked on the door, on Friday, when he finished fifth in the Dressage. On Saturday, he opened the door with the fourth fastest clean run on Cross Country to rise to third place. On Sunday, Jonathan and Lion King II jumped one of four double clear Show Jumping rounds (from 25 competitors) and walked right in to the living room and had a large glass of success!

Holling, who lives in Ocala, Florida, completed the Land Rover Burghley CCI**** several years ago and was named as an alternate to the USEF Winter Training List for Eventing, this year. (Jonathan and Lion King II are pictured at the left in the Show Jumping Phase at the Fair Hill International CCI***, last October.)

Phillip Dutton jumped another of the four double clear Show Jumping rounds to climb up the ladder from 9th after Cross Country to fourth place.

eventingetc apoligizes for the wrong information printed below, although we wish it were true!
