Matt Brown and Happenstance (Shannon Brinkman Photography)
In the second CCI3* of his career, Brown (Petaluma, Calif.) looks to capitalize on the valuable experience gained at The Dutta Corp Fair Hill International last year. After successful outings at Fresno Park and Galway Downs, he headed east and won the CIC3* at Fair Hill with Blossom Creek Foundation's Super Socks BCF and earned fourth and 19th places with Mary McKee's Happenstance and Blossom Creek Foundation’s BCF Belicoso, respectively. This weekend Super Socks BCF looks to improve upon his 21st placing at the Fair Hill CCI3* last fall, while Happenstance and BCF Belicoso make their CCI3* debut.
