Derbyshire and Engle were set to return in the original posted order with Derbyshire leading the way with a double clear round aboard CORNWALL BH in a time of 44.50 resulting in her second place finish. "I knew I had to play it a little smart and I knew Margie [Engle] would be faster than me, so I just went for a medium clear," commented Derbyshire. "I am delighted to have jumped-off with her [Engle] in five star competition."
It was a last minute decision for Derbyshire to make the trip to Saugerties for the FEI CSI5* competition, but an opportunity she couldn't resist. "He [CORNWALL BH] jumped so well last week, but I was unlucky in the Grand Prix. While he was going so well I thought I would come and give it another shot and I am grateful that I did," Derbyshire said.
