The Final Veterinary Examination

Kelly Prather's horse Ballinkill Glory was not passed.

Oliver Townend's horse, ODT Master Rose, which complete the Cross Country course before Oli's fall with Ashdale Cruise Master, was not presented. Oli is still in hospital, though he is expected to be released today. He is reported to have broken ribs and therefore cannot fly for several days. This puts the possibility that he will be able to ride at Badminton in serious jeopardy.

On a lighter note regarding Oliver Townend, Janet Patton, reporting for the Lexington Herald Leader, wrote, "...he is known as a hard riding heartthrob from Huddersfield."

Thirty-eight horses go forward to the Show Jumping Phase which begins at a few minutes after twelve noon on Sunday.
