| 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.
