to be at Burghley this weekend with him, and the fit- ness and the summer didn’t quite work out that way,” she adds. Right before Capato’s cross-country test, he
amped up the drama by losing his offside front shoe in the warmup. “Capato did not behave very well [for the farrier], because he was ready to run cross- country,” says Jordan. “He was quite antsy and giving the farrier a hard time. I got the reins up, jumped one jump, and went on course.” Fortunately, officials were able to switch the start
times of Mai Baum and Capato, allowing five min- utes for the shoe replacement. Jordan describes Ca- pato as an amazing cross-country horse. “I didn’t kick him once. Tat’s just how he ran. I wasn’t coming here to win it. I wanted him to have a really confident go. He just ate up the course.” She adds that she did earn four time penalties.
“He was really smooth and really fast. I didn’t even look at the watch much going around. He hasn’t run much this summer. I was just here to take it kind of easy and see how he was going to feel. He makes it feel so easy out there.” Tamie also rode the

Campari FFF (Camiros x Ariadus), bred by Karen Reid of Fox Fire Farm in Fox Island, Wash- ington, was fifth with 45.7. Te eight-year-old geld- ing is owned by Team Rebecca, LLC of Kalispell, Montana. Marc Grandia from Duvall, Washington, is Cam-
pari’s rider and trainer. He calls the eight-year-old “an incredible ath- lete.” “Tis is a really tough track. He’s done a couple of Intermedi- ate, and. his last run was a CCI 1* at Re- becca Farm. I’m here to get him the experience and we’re going to go fast with the goal of going clean,” Marc says. He adds that Campari is a careful jumper. “He re-

Wishbone (Luganda x Unpredictable xx), rid-
