The luck of the Irish was in full effect as Ireland’s Paul O’Shea and Skara Glen’s Machu Picchu flew to the win in the $225,000 Kentucky Invitational CSI3* presented by Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, part of the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event, presented by MARS EQUESTRIAN.

Eugenio Garza of Mexico and Armani SI Z finished second and Rowan Willis of Australia and Blue Movie finished third. American Ali Wolff and Casall finished fourth.

The format for the Invitational was a first round, followed by the return of the top ten, in reverse order of score, so the fastest clean round in the first round gets to go last in the second round. Scores are cumulative over both rounds and ties are broken by time.
