Fox-Pitt Jumps To Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event Victory Lexington, Ky., April 25 - William Fox-Pitt of Great Britain concluded the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, presented by Bridgestone, the same way he began it-in first place. As the last rider to start on today's show jumping course, he and Cool Mountain negotiated all 16 jumps perfectly to capture the $80,000 and the Rolex Steel and Gold Oyster Perpetual Timepiece that go to the winner.
Fox-Pitt Solidifies His Hold On Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event Lexington, Ky., April 23 - William Fox-Pitt of Great Britain retained the lead he took in dressage by recording a clear cross-country round today on Cool Mountain at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, presented by Bridgestone.
Fox-Pitt's score of 42.8 penalties kept him 2 points ahead of three-time Rolex Kentucky winner Kim Severson on Tipperary Liadhnan (44.8). Becky Holder, on Courageous Comet, is just behind with 45.2 penalties. Severson and Holder each jumped faultless cross-country rounds too.
Townend Recovering After Fall Oliver Townend of Great Britain, riding at Rolex Kentucky to try to win the $350,000 Rolex Grand Slam, fell at fence 20, the Hollow, with sixth-placed Ashdale Cruise Master. Townend, 27, was transported to the University of Kentucky Trauma and Emergency Services-Emergency Department. He was conscious at the time he was transported.
As of 5:00 p.m. EDT, Townend was reported to be up and walking around, and he appeared to be alert.
Ashdale Cruise Mater was examined by attending veterinarians and sustained no injuries.
Earlier in the day, Townend had guided ODT Master Rose to a clear round that was just two seconds slow, putting him in seventh place.
Fox-Pitt Takes Over At Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event
Lexington, Ky., April 23 - William Fox-Pitt of Great Britain smoothly rode Cool Mountain into the lead on the second and final day of dressage at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, presented by Bridgestone. His score of 42.8 penalties put him just in front of the Thursday leader, Karen O'Connor on Mandiba, and Allison Springer on Arthur, each with 43.7 penalties.
Three-time Rolex Kentucky winner Kim Severson, on Tipperary Liadhnan, lurks just behind in fourth place (44.8).
Rolex Kentucky marks the first four-star start for Cool Mountain, a 10-year-old English-bred Thoroughbred, but Fox-Pitt, 41, is one of the world's most accomplished riders and has been a stalwart of the British team for more than a decade. Still, he said he flew to Kentucky with education more on his mind than victory.
On Mandiba, O'Connor Leads The Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event Lexington, Ky., April 22 - Karen O'Connor and Mandiba have taken the first-day lead at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, presented by Bridgestone, scoring 43.7 penalties.
Becky Holder rode Courageous Comet to second place (45.2), and Phillip Dutton rode The Foreman to third place (47.2).
O'Connor, 52, won the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event in 1999, while Dutton, 46, won the 2008 event. All three of the leaders are also Olympic veterans and are among the leading candidates for the U.S. team that will compete at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.
O'Connor, of Middleburg, Va., said that Mandiba's performance today was consistent with his other performances so far this year. "He's more confirmed [in his flatwork] than he's ever been, for sure, so I can ride down the centerline with more confidence than ever before," said O'Connor.
"Plus, he's such an elegant horse and has such try in him, so I was just over the moon when we finished the test," added O'Connor about Mandiba, a 10-year-old, Irish-bred Thoroughbred.
Konyot And Her "Big Black Horse" Dance To Kentucky Cup Freestyle Victory Lexington, Ky., April 22 -- Sashaying in to KT Tunstall's "Black Horse and The Cherry Tree," Tina Konyot's big black horse Calecto V showed their partnership has reached new heights with a decisive win in the 2010 Kentucky Cup CDI3* Grand Prix Freestyle, scoring 76.25 percent.
Chris von Martels on Naomi (70.20%) rode into second place, with Jacqueline Brooks on Balmoral close behind in third (67.35%).
"It was great fun [out there]," said Konyot, 48, of Palm City, Fla.
More than 2,200 spectators enjoyed Konyot's performance, highlighted by her Danish-bred stallion's powerful piaffe and expressive canter work, as the pair boogied to such modern faire as Beyonce's "Crazy In Love," and Jennifer Lopez' "Let's Get Loud." Konyot's music featured a voice-over that slightly altered Tunstall's lyrics to state, "Big Black Horse says look at me," which brought a chuckle of approval from the crowd.
Konyot and Calecto had only performed this freestyle twice before, and she admitted that "it still needs more tweaking." Still, she's happy with the result. "I think it's appropriate for him, and I was extremely pleased with him," she said.
Konyot Guides Calecto V to Kentucky Cup Grand Prix Win Lexington, Ky., April 20 - Tina Konyot, of Palm City, Fla., and her stallion Calecto V scored 70.63 percent to top a field of 25 in today's Kentucky Cup Grand Prix. The Kentucky Cup is the test event for the dressage World Championships that will be one of the eight competitions at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.
Belinda Trussell, of Newmarket, Ont., finished second on Anton (70.21%), and Bonny Bonnello, of Calgary, Alb., finished third on Pikardi (68.63%).
The winning riders each had high praise for the Kentucky Horse Park, which will be the first U.S. venue ever to host the FEI World Equestrian Games, from Sept. 25 to Oct. 10.
"Everything is spectacular here, and everyone involved is working hard to make sure the horses are happy and comfortable-so hard that my horse thinks he wants to be a Kentucky stallion!" said Konyot, 48.
"I love it, and so does my horse," said Bonnello, 59.
"The footing is perfect, and the distance of the ring from the crowd is perfect too," said Trussell, 38.

ScienceDaily: Horse NewsFirst cloned horse using oocytes from a live mare Researchers have achieved another cloning first with the successful delivery of a foal using oocytes from a live mare, the first such clone in the world.Mutant gene link to West Nile virus in horses The same mutated gene that makes humans more susceptible to the potentially fatal West Nile virus is also responsible for the virus affecting horses, according to scientists in Australia.Horse chestnut tree disease: Conquering conker canker Scientists have decoded the genome of a bacterium that is threatening the UK's historic landscape. Analysis of the genome has provided the first clues to the evolutionary origin of the disease and to its ability to spread so fast. It will allow scientists to determine which genes might be necessary for infection of a tree host so they can be targeted to control the disease.Immune molecules target swine- and avian-origin influenza Immune molecules known as antibodies that protect against influenza virus infection target the highly variable influenza protein HA. It is thought the antibodies generated by an individual's immune system protect against only a few closely related influenza viruses. However, new research indicates that some individuals vaccinated with seasonal influenza vaccine produce antibodies that can target the forms of HA used by the deadly H5N1 avian influenza virus and the recent swine-origin pandemic H1N1 influenza virus.Genetic test for 'speed gene' in thoroughbred horses Groundbreaking research led by a leading horse genomics scientist in Ireland has resulted in the identification of the 'speed gene' in thoroughbred horses.Wild Iberian horses contributed to origin of current Iberian domestic stock Some modern horses of Iberian origin are descendants from wild horses from the Early Iberian Neolithic, dated around 6,200 years ago. Ancient lineages are mainly represented in the Lusitano group C, constituted by some modern Lusitano and American horses.DNA sheds new light on horse evolution Ancient DNA retrieved from extinct horse species from around the world has challenged one of the textbook examples of evolution -- the fossil record of the horse family Equidae over the past 55 million years.Barn personnel experience higher-than-average rates of respiratory symptoms The estimated 4.6 million Americans involved in the equine industry may be at risk of developing respiratory symptoms due to poor air quality in horse barns, according to a questionnaire study.Domestic Horse Genome Sequenced Scientists have decoded the genome of the domestic horse, revealing a genome structure with remarkable similarities to humans and more than one million genetic differences across a variety of horse breeds. In addition to shedding light on a key part of the mammalian branch of the evolutionary tree, the work also provides a critical starting point for mapping disease genes in horses.Good Results For New Vaccine Against Horse Strangles Disease Tests show good results for a new vaccine against horse strangles disease. In time this may also lead to new vaccines against human diseases.Drug Eliminates Parasite That Causes Babesiosis In Horses A drug commonly used to treat cattle and sometimes dogs for a blood parasite can, at a relatively high dose, completely eliminate the parasite Babesia caballi from horses, scientists have discovered.Fossil Teeth Of Three-toed Browsing Horse Found In Panama Canal Earthworks Rushing to salvage fossils from the Panama Canal earthworks, a paleontology intern unearthed a set of fossil teeth. Experts identified the fossil as Anchitherium clarencei, a three-toed browsing horse.Mystery Of Horse Domestication Solved? Wild horses were domesticated in the Ponto-Caspian steppe region (today Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Romania) in the 3rd millennium B.C. Despite the pivotal role horses have played in the history of human societies, the process of their domestication is not well understood. In a new study, scientists have unraveled the mystery of the domestication of the horse.Minimizing The Spread Of Deadly Hendra Virus Scientists have made a breakthrough in better understanding how Hendra virus spreads from infected horses to other horses and humans.Climate Change Fears For Deadly Virus Outbreaks In Livestock Global warming could have chilling consequences for European livestock, warned an expert. Since 1998, rising temperatures have led to outbreaks of bluetongue across most of Europe, which have killed over two million ruminants. Related viruses, such as African horse sickness virus, with a fatality rate of more than 95 percent and sharing the same insect vectors as bluetongue, could also be introduced.Archaeologists Find Earliest Known Domestic Horses: Harnessed and Milked Archaeologists have uncovered the earliest known evidence of horses being domesticated by humans. The discovery suggests that horses were both ridden and milked. The findings could point to the very beginnings of horse domestication and the origins of the horse breeds we know today.Saving Strangford Horse Mussels Biologists are working to conserve and restore endangered horse mussel reefs in Strangford Lough.100-meter Sprint World Record Could Go As Low As 9.48 Seconds During the last century human athletic records have continued tumbling, but are there limits to how fast elite athletes can run? Marathon runner Mark Denny from Stanford University has calculated human athletes' speed limits over distances ranging from 100m to the marathon and predicts that male runners may eventually sprint 100m in 9.48s.Acupuncture Used For Animal Ailments Needles are often equated with pain and discomfort; however, for a horse named Gypsy the tiny sharp objects brought about much needed relief as a professor administered acupuncture therapy.Stem Cell Research To Benefit Horse Owners And Trainers In a potential breakthrough for the performance horse industry (such as racing and polo), scientists are aiming to harness stem cells to repair tendon, ligament, cartilage and bone damage in horses.Galloping And Breathing At High Speed A team of researchers has been working to unlock the secrets of equines. Their findings may lead to better muscular horse health and a new approach to breathing devices for people.The Bay Of Biscay, A Good Feeding Environment For The Larvae Of Anchovy, Sardine And Horse-mackerel A PhD thesis analyzes the nutritional state of the larvae of anchovy, sardine and horse-mackerel, as well as their growth strategy. Its conclusions point to the Bay of Biscay being a good feeding ground for these species.Tailor-made Functional Garments For Olympic Horses When the horses and competitors go through their paces at the Summer Olympics in Hong Kong in 2008, it will be very hot and very humid -- just as it is every summer there. Three special blankets will offer the Swiss teams' tournament horses some respite from the elements. When the animals move from their air-conditioned stables to the tournament venue, they will be protected from the brilliant sunshine by cooling covers.Sweets Make Young Horses Harder To Train, Study Finds Young horses may be easier to train if they temporarily lay off the sweets, says a Montana State University study.Genetics Of White Horses Unraveled: One Mutation Makes Ordinary Horses Turn Grey, Then White, Very Young White horses are colored horses that turn grey, then white, at a very young age. The white horse is an icon for dignity which has had a huge impact on human culture across the world. Scientists have now identified the mutation causing this spectacular trait and show that it can be traced back to an ancestor that lived thousands of years ago. The study is interesting for medical research since this mutation also increases the risk of melanoma.Special Horseshoes Measure Acceleration In Horses, Evaluate Methods of Rehabilitation Scientists have carried out studies both into the advantages of different rider techniques in reducing injury risk to horses, and into the benefits of a method of equine rehabilitation. By using computer modelling and specialist horseshoes to measure acceleration, these investigations suggest that aqua-training rehabilitation methods are beneficial whereas rising trot may not be as advantageous as previously thought.First Successful Reverse Vasectomy On Endangered Species Performed At The National Zoo Veterinarians at the Smithsonian's National Zoo performed the first successful reverse vasectomy on a Przewalski's horse. Przewalksi's horses are a horse species native to China and Mongolia that was declared extinct in the wild in 1970.Canine Influenza Was Around Earlier Than Once Thought The canine influenza virus, first identified in 2004, had been circulating in the greyhound population for at least five years prior to its discovery and may have been responsible for numerous outbreaks of respiratory disease among dogs at racing tracks during that period, according to new research.Tough Breeds Of Livestock Disappearing: Saving Them Before It Is Too Late One professor of pathology and genetics has spent more than 30 years working to make sure certain living pieces of history -- some dating to the 15th century -- don't become extinct. His brand of living history comes in the form of various rare strains of livestock, which were involved in events like Christopher Columbus' discovery of the Caribbean Islands and the Spanish conquest of the Americas.Manure Management Reduces Levels Of Antibiotics And Antibiotic Resistance Genes Researchers investigated the effects of manure management on the levels of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in manures and found that certain agricultural practices make a difference.Horses Disperse Alien Plants Along Recreational Trails Invasive plants are rapidly becoming a threat to wildlands. One of the ways these aliens are dispersed is through large mammals that forage and excrete seeds in new locations. A new study has found horses to be a source of dispersal along recreational trails in Colorado.Tiny Chemical Change In Horse Herpes Virus Can Have Lethal Effect Microbiologists show that change in just one amino acid in a horse herpes virus can make all the difference between triggering a cold or a life-threatening neurological disorder.Rest For The Racehorse After Exercise Equine muscle glycogen stores require sufficient time for post-exercise repletion. Repletion cannot be hastened in any way other than rest. If the diet is normal and the horse consumes the feed provided, neither extra carbohydrate nor extra fat will enhance the repletion of muscle glycogen stores. Dietary supplements may actually inhibit repletion, according to the researcher.Animal Protein Allergies Explained New research explains why more people are allergic to cow's milk than horse's milk. The relatedness of an animal food protein to a human protein determines whether it can cause allergy, according to new research. In theory all proteins have the potential to become allergens, but the study found that in practice the ability of animal food proteins to act as allergens depends on their evolutionary distance from a human equivalent.Fat Horses Face Health Problems Horses face serious health risks because of obesity, according to recent research. Fifty-one percent of the horses evaluated during the pioneering research were determined to be overweight or obese -- and may be subject to serious health problems like laminitis and hyperinsulinemia. And just like people, it appears as though the culprits are over-eating and lack of exercise.Why Was The Racehorse Eclipse So Good? Scientists are researching what made the undefeated 18th Century horse, Eclipse, such a great champion. The genetics research is giving insights into the origins of the world's thoroughbred racing stock, including the sensational 1867 Derby winner, Hermit.Vets Seeing More Horses With Nutritional Issues This Year While much of the Midwest has recovered from the drought that parched the area last year, horses are continuing to experience effects from the hot dry summer of 2006. Due to a bad hay crop, University of Missouri-Columbia veterinarians are reporting an increased number of horses with chronic selenosis and vitamin E deficiency, problems that can be fatal.Why Are There No Unicorns? Why are there no unicorns? Perhaps horses develop in a way that cannot be easily modified to produce a unicorn, so such creatures have never arisen. Or maybe unicorn-like animals have been born in the past but because there is no advantage for a horse to have a horn, such creatures did not thrive and were weeded out by natural selection.Horses Suffer From Obesity, Just Like Humans Horses are inheritably couch potatoes. An overeating, slothful horse leads to an obese horse. Unlike humans, however, horse owners often don't see the dangers of an obese horse. Caretakers may see no harm in giving their horses rich foods, but obesity in horses is just as unhealthy as obesity in humans and can lead to fatal diseases.Horse Genome Assembled: Thoroughbred Mare's DNA Code Now Freely Available The first draft of the horse genome sequence has been deposited in public databases and is freely available for use by biomedical and veterinary researchers around the globe, leaders of the international Horse Genome Sequencing Project announced today.Stem Cells May Help Heal Joint Injuries As anyone who's ever injured a knee or elbow will tell you, recovery can be a long and painful process. Cartilage is an exceptionally slow-healing tissue, and, until now, the missing or damaged tissue is often irreplaceable. Researchers at the University of Guelph are hoping stem cells might provide the needed tissue replacements.New Evidence Of Early Horse Domestication Soil from a Copper Age site in northern Kazakhstan has yielded new evidence for domesticated horses up to 5,600 years ago. The discovery, consisting of phosphorus-enriched soils inside what appear to be the remains of horse corrals, matches what would be expected from Earth once enriched by horse manure. The Krasnyi Yar site was inhabited by people of the Botai culture of the Eurasian steppe, who relied heavily on horses for food, tools and transport.Composting May Be Alternative In Wake Of Horse Slaughter Bill The American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, making its way
from the U.S. House to the Senate, could leave thousands of horses with no
final resting ground.
Composting may be an environmentally friendly option that fits in the
'circle of life' frame of mind and may be less emotional, two area
researchers said.Drugs Would Reduce Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Bioterrorism Threat, Counter Natural Outbreaks Biomedical researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston have taken an important early step toward developing effective drug therapies against Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis virus, a potential bioterrorist weapon. Their achievement: Determining the precise structure of a protein that the virus requires for replication.Virus Linked To Thoroughbred Abortion Epidemic A new study by veterinary researchers at Oregon State University has linked a major epidemic of abortion a few years ago in Kentucky Thoroughbred mares to infection with vesivirus, the first time the virus has been suggested to cause this type of problem in horses. The findings add another concern to the health issues associated with this virus, which is a part of the Caliciviridae viral family that can infect and cause health problems in many animal species, including humans.World's First Cloned Equine Athletes Training For Races It will be nature vs. nurture when the University of Idaho's two mule clones Idaho Gem and Idaho Star take to the racetrack at Winnemucca, Nev., June 3 and 4 for the first leg of mule racing's triple crown. The mules will become the first cloned athletes to participate in any sport.Man May Have Caused Pre-historic Extinctions New research shows that pre-historic horses in Alaska may have been hunted into extinction by man, rather than by climate change as previously thought. The discovery by Andrew Solow of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, US, David Roberts of the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew and Karen Robbirt of the University of East Anglia (UEA) is published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).Kentucky Derby: Race Horse Physiology Is Model For Speed When the elite horses of the Kentucky Derby jump from the gate on May 6, will the physiologists who study them be able to predict the likely winner? Exercise physiologists have used horses for research for hundreds of years because the equine athlete's blood vessels are large, they love to exercise, and they are domesticated, noted Eric K. Birks, assistant professor of exercise physiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine.
