Thirty-eight horses were presented at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event first trot-up this afternoon and all were accepted to start the competition.

US rider Andrew McConnon, who had hoped to make his five-star debut this week, was on the start list for the inspection, but withdrew Ferrie’s Cello before his turn on the strip.
