Jan of Wellington, Florida and the 13-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding scored 70.739%, the only result of 70% in the starting lineup of 17 riders and horses to qualify for the Grand Prix Special.
He has competed Tenacity since the beginning of this year. The horse is owned by Ann Romney, who was also in the ownership group of Rafalca that Jan rode at the London Games.
