Description

It's a doubleheader on the US Equestrian Open of Eventing calendar with Twin Rivers out West and Plantation Field on the East Coast. Boyd Martin still looks every inch the series leader, but there's plenty going on behind him. James Alliston knows how to win at Twin, Tamie Smith is fine-tuning Kynan on the road to Morven, and Molly Duda is stepping up with Carlingfords Hes a Clover. At Plantation, Commando 3, HSH Blake, Deniro Z, Artist and more are using the weekend to show where they're at before the final push.

Annie and Diarm talk who's chasing points, who's keeping horses in hand, and what these runs will tell us with Morven Park just around the corner.
