During the Sponsor’s Welcome Party, Allison seemed to be on a roll. Not only did she pick up the prize for the Style Award for the best dressed woman at the first horse inspection for which she won a pair of new Dubarry boots. Later in the evening, she proved just how aligned the stars were for her when during the lucky draw for a new Rolex watch, she happened to win that, too!

“So far, so good!” Allison laughed. “But, I do want to win one of these the hard way, too,” she said referring the shiny and expensive timepiece that she sported.

She was sporting both of her new prizes during the Thursday afternoon press conference where she was interviewed. She finished the first of two days of dressage atop the leaderboard on a score of 42.3 aboard one of her two mounts at this year’s Rolex – Arthur (owned by herself and William and Carolyn Springer).

Here’s a shout out to Allison for her winning ways and their continued success at this year’s Rolex and throughout all of 2011.
