In the end, Little jumped clean and inside the time in show jumping to move up to third place overall. Savannah Fulton of Finks- burg had a great trip around this 4* with Captain Jack. T e pair scored a 45.3 in dressage and then had a fabulous run around cross-country putting in one of the fi rst early double clean rounds of the day. In show jumping, the pair had 12 jump- ing and 4 time faults to fi nish in 23rd place. During the presentation of
special awards, Captain Jack was named Best Conditioned Horse and Best Turned Out, which was awarded to Captain Jack’s groom, Grace Fulton. Savannah was also awarded a cooler and trophy for being the highest- placed youngest rider in the competition. Colleen Rutledge (Frederick) and Covert Rights had a stellar dressage ride to make it into the top 10 with a 31.7. After two stops on cross-country, the pair moved down in the standings and ultimately withdrew before the fi nal horse inspection.
Savannah Fulton, pictured here aboard Captain Jack, was the youngest competitor to complete the Land Rover Kentucky Three- Day Event CCI4* this year.
(former Howard County-Iron Bridge member now also living in Kentucky). “My grandparents took me to the races when I was around 8 and I just loved everything about it,” Liz said.
Liz graduated
from the University of Louisville Equine Business program with a B.S. in Busi- ness Administration. Her fi rst job after college was as an En- try Clerk at Pimlico where she worked under Maryland Racing Secretary Georganne Hale.
The Kentucky Oaks Connection (fi rst posted on
equiery.com on May 16, 2018) When six-year-old Liz Crow fi rst sat on a pony at the Potomac Horse Center, she nev- er dreamed that 23 years later she would be managing a string of successful stakes horses through BSW Bloodstock. Now 29 and liv- ing in Lexington, Kentucky, Liz grew up in Bethesda, MD, showing on the local circuits and foxhunting with her mother Rebecca Byers
“She’s awesome and truly was my fi rst men- tor,” Liz stated. A year later, Liz moved back to Kentucky to gain experi- ence as the Claims Clerk for Churchill Downs, and then worked as an assistant to top trainers Eoin Harty and Joanthan Sheppard.
She joined
BSW Bloodstock in De- cember of 2015. “I started in this industry with hands on experience and I think that is the most important thing for anyone looking to work in this business to do,” she

said, adding “Work your way up from the bot- tom. Get as many internships and experiences as possible and don’t forget to spend time work- ing with a trainer at a track. T at is where you see the end result of what this sport is about.” Most recently, Liz and BSW Bloodstock
celebrated a big win with Monomoy Girl tak- ing home the 2018 Kentucky Oaks earlier this month. “I bought her for Sol Kumin in 2016 as a yearling and she’d just been a phenomenal horse,” Liz explained. At the sales, Liz said she was really drawn to the fi lly’s personality and class. “She was so calm and professional and had an athletic shoulder and great hip. She just had the right combination of physical and mental attitude.”
Once a horse is purchased for an owner, as a Bloodstock Agent, Liz turns from scout to manager. “We are like the people who draft NFL players and then the general manager of a baseball team. We select the horses for their owners and then help the owners and trainers pick which races to run them in and when.” At this year’s Black-Eyed Susan Day, Liz and the team at BSW Bloodstock cheered on Secret Message, who fi nished second in the Hilltop Stakes, which was won by another BSW Blood- stock-managed horse, Happy Mesa, in 2017.
