Rolex Kentucky 3 Day Event 2010 was honored to be named a Top 10 Spring Event by Kentucky Tourism Council. In reality the Kentucky Tourism Council has included Rolex Kentucky 3 Day Event 2010 in the list of Top 10 Events and Festivals in Kentucky since 2004.
As the Council announced, "Since this premier event is the only four-star, three-day event in the Americas, it brings international attention to Lexington and the Bluegrass each spring, while attracting crowds in excess of 100,000."
Officially sponsored by Rolex Watch Company, Kentucky 3 Day Event attracts many of the world's best horses and riders to champion for $250,000 money prize.
Of course not every combination that competes at the Four Star level will be chosen to represent the U.S. but again the Rolex Four Star Championship, $200,000 in prize money and a Rolex Watch make the competition important in its own right and mark the high point of any U.S. rider's career.
