The action continued across the way in the derby ring, where another group of record entries, fifty-three horses competed in both the Junior Amateur and Open derbies! The challenging course included a series of tests in tight turns, hand galloping, high low options, jump and line options where riders chose the most suitable track for each horse. Once again, the derby master Kristjan Good took home the top three spots aboard Salvo RSF with a score of 103, Diamo Blue and Robson with scores of 100 and 99.5 respectively. Top honors in the Junior Amateur derby went to Vanderbilt, ridden by Katie Sheedy!<\/p>\n
