2019 ADS North American Preliminary Championships
Impressions of the farm were that it is spacious, it’s beautiful, and it’s driver-friendly. It boasts a full course of permanent, intricate and interesting marathon hazards (have you seen the drone footage on our ADS Facebook Page?). Metamora is one of the most spectator-friendly CDEs. On marathon day, bleachers were full in the main field that had a view of five of the seven hazards. Announcer Alicia Pierce was the narrator of the day from the time the first horse started on course right up until the end, giving insider details on the drivers and their equines. She turned up the volume with her up to the moment placing changes, elevating the excitement from the fans at each obstacle. The Cones Course was an intricate and technical course that saw just one double clear in the weekend (A large land bridge in the middle of the hilly course was a unique addition).
