The worst spring flooding on record couldn't stop the Groton House Farm Horse Trials II, June 23-25 in Hamilton, Mass., and the conditions couldn't deter Phillip Dutton from winning, either.
Dutton, West Grove, Pa., dominated the advanced/ intermediate division, winning the Amanda Cup trophy on Tru Luck and placing third on his World Equestrian Games hopeful, Connaught. He also won a division of open preliminary on his wife Evie's 7-year-old, Australian gelding, Loose 'N Cool.
