The Three to Track in Thunderbird, Vancouver
The Major League of Show Jumping lands in Vancouver this weekend where eight teams of three riders will take on each other in an originally formatted team competition. Who are the stand-out combinations in this competition?
Set in Canada, the North American riders are out in full force with strong Canadian and US riders set to compete. As usual, the Irish contingency is also very present on this American-based jumping circuit.
Kent Farrington & Creedance
This pair hardly needs introducing, with multiple Grand Prix victories to their name. At 16 years old, Creedance now seems happier at in 150-155 classes, maintaining at 50% clear rate at that level over the past 12 months. Clears are what is needed in today’s team competition to help Team KPF clinch the win.
Lillie Keenan & Agana van het Gerendal Z
This duo is very competitive at 150 level. They are heading into the competition at Thunderbird fresh off the back of a 150 victory at the CSIO5* event in San Juan Capistrano a couple of weeks back. Lillie and Agana will be a valuable asset to the Trailblazers, the team forecast as the favourites to win by the EquiRatings Jumping Prediction Centre.
Daniel Coyle & Gisborne VDL
This is a relatively newly formed combination but have already booked solid results together. A fact proven by their victory in yesterday’s 150 jump-off class. The Roadrunners will want this duo to continue in this form and produce the clears for today’s team competition as well.
