The US Equestrian Open is back, and this weekend, all eyes are on Bouckaert International. Annie Bishop and Diarmuid Byrne dive into the key contenders, the cross-country challenge, and what makes this event one of the toughest to predict.

Will Boyd Martin’s Luke 140 live up to the Prediction Center’s top billing, or will Phillip Dutton continue his series dominance with Jewelent and Quasi Cool?
