Kimberly Vinoski Wins USET Four Star Championship at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, presented by Bayer

Gladstone, NJ—May 1, 2002—Kimberly Vinoski of Scottsville, VA won the United States Equestrian Team (USET) Four Star Championship at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI****, presented by Bayer. She won on Winsome Adante, a nine-year-old English Thoroughbred owned by Plain Dealing Farm, at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, April 25-28, 2002.

Vinoski, who was sitting in fourth position following the completion of dressage on Friday, posted a clear cross-country round, on a rainy Saturday, one of only four on the day. In Sunday’s final phase of stadium jumping held in windy conditions, Vinoski picked up eight penalties after having two rails down, but managed to hang on to the lead with a three-day total of 56.20 penalty points. The win marked her first win at the Olympic-level.

"I am a very lucky person to have the owner that I do and very fortunate to do what I love," said Vinoski. Vinoski left the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event with a winner's check of $60,000 and a Rolex timepiece.

The Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event served as a USET selection trial for this year’s Eventing World Championships to be held at the World Equestrian Games in Spain in September. Vinoski beat out an international field that included Olympic and World Championship veterans from Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, and the United States.
