William Fox-Pitt of Great Britain retained the lead he took in dressage by recording a clear cross-country round today on Cool Mountain at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, presented by Bridgestone.

Fox-Pitt's score of 42.8 penalties kept him two points ahead of three-time Rolex Kentucky winner Kim Severson on Tipperary Liadhnan (44.8). Becky Holder, on Courageous Comet, is just behind with 45.2 penalties. Severson and Holder each jumped faultless cross-country rounds, too.

Two-time Olympic team gold medalist Phillip Dutton, the 2008 Rolex Kentucky winner, stands fourth with The Foreman (47.6) and fifth with Woodburn (47.7). Dutton finished 1 second slow on The Foreman but was faultless on Woodburn. Dutton retired his third mount, Waterfront, on course after a refusal.

Boyd Martin recorded no jumping faults on all three of his mounts today. He finished without time faults on Neville Bardos (eighth place, 51.8) and Rock On Rose (15th place, 59.2), but he had 5.2 time faults on Remington XXV (14th place, 59.0)
