World No 1 eventer Andrew Nicholson is sitting in second and third spots at the end of the dressage phase at the Kentucky three-day event in the United States.
Nicholson, the overnight leader on Calico Joe with his 40.8 penalty point effort yesterday, this morning posted a 38 penalty point
test on Quimbo.
Leading the 46-strong field is arch-rival and defending champion William Fox-Pitt (Great Britain), aboard the stallion Chilli Morning, with a 33.3 penalty point test.
Nicholson's London Olympic team-mate Jonelle Richards and The Deputy sit in 16th spot on 52.7 penalty points in their first start at the high-ranking four-star event.
Just Nicholson and Fox-Pitt sit in the thirties after the dressage, with 12 riders - including the two men on their second mounts - in the forties, leaving no room for any sort of error over tomorrow's cross country course.
