2006 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by Farnam

Polly Stockton Drops Position With Two Dropped Rails

Coming into the final phase, Britain’s Polly Stockton and her 14-year-old bay Thoroughbred Tom Quigley were sitting pretty in second. She had come into the final test as the highest-placed foreign rider, but was overtaken by Hoy and his mount. Four penalty points were accumulated when she and her mount blew out the Kentucky Fence and had to pause their efforts while the clock was stopped and the jump was reset.

She continued and cleared the jump perfectly, but downed an additional rail, picking up a total of eight penalties across the course, plus five time penalties. She finished on a respectable score of 61.2, ending up in seventh place.
