Well known ex-Australian eventers Phillip Dutton and Boyd Martin are on the final shortlist for the US Eventing Team to represent the United States at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, KY with Phillip having four horses listed and Boyd two. Phillip was of course on the Australian team which won gold at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 with Andrew Hoy, Matt Ryan and Stuart Tinney. As Stuart is shortlisted for the Australian WEG team for Kentucky it could be that the former gold medal winning team mates will be competing against each other at this major championship.
