“It was in front of a capacity crowd in the new grandstand, and he scored 39 penalties (low scores are the best in eventing), so he took over the lead,” said Holder, 40, who ultimately placed second in that year’s competition aboard the big gray horse, stamping a ticket to that year’s Olympics (the equestrian games were held in Hong Kong). “He stopped at the end of the task, and I saluted, and the crowd just went crazy.”
