I did, I watch the Rolex every year. I love it, but some times have a hard time watching the cross country. I use to to 3-day, but not any more, one to many fall. Shame that most of the big names did not make it to the final. Also for Windfall, the stallion, he was just not in the game those 3 days, did not make it to the stadium jumping. Did not get it, but he just looked warn out. Lovely stallion, am looking to breed two mares to him next year.

I watched both the Kentucky Derby & the Rolex highlights. I was really disappointed  to see that the supposed favorites at the Rolex didn't show that well. Maybe their mounts were over taxed & pushed too much. Especially that horse who's rider fell into the water. She should have known that her horse was 'off' that day instead of using the crop & trying to push that horse too much. I hope that was a wake-up call for her to be more attentive to her mounts state of mind & physical limitations.
I am an open jumper fan, and a Michael Matz fan as well. His horse Barbaro shows that he is still an outstanding trainer, and really treats his animals well ;D
I am also a Nascar fan, so this past weekand was allot of fun for me tho see both the horses & Nascar races!
