Rolex 2014-Day Two Wrap Up

April 26, 2014

Overall, Mensa G’s fabulous test from day one, which had left him initially in the lead, was still good enough for a three-way tie for 4th.  Here’s To You is also in the very top group in 15th place.  But as we all know, the Rolex cross country course will create big changes in these standings tomorrow.  Cross Country starts at 11:00am EST and first on the course for the Thoroughbreds will be Madison Park and rider Kyle Carter at 11:44am with OTTB leader Mensa G and Michael Pollard going shortly thereafter at 11:52am.  A full list of ride times can be found here.

Good luck and good rides to everyone competing tomorrow!

The final placings and scores for each of the off-track Thoroughbreds after day two (4/25/2014) are as follows:
