Oliver Townend remains at the top of the Land Rover Kentucky Three Day Event scoreboard with last year’s winner Cooley Master Class after a cross country day full of surprises at the Kentucky Horse Park. Samantha Lederman recaps the penultimate day's action.
Townend added a handful of time penalties but jumped clear which means he won’t have a show-jump in hand going into the final phase on Sunday afternoon.
Boyd Martin jumped clear and fast on his 2018 World Games horse Tsetserleg to finish second overnight, and the highest placed American.
New Zealand rider Tim Price moved up to third place after the cross country with one of three clear rounds inside the time, keeping his Rolex Grand Slam dreams alive.
The competition will be decided Sunday afternoon where a single rail down can mean the difference between winning and losing.
