LiftMaster Grand-Prix Eventing Showcase: Review Show

Phillip Dutton is on the board.

The 2026 season opened at the LiftMaster Grand Prix Eventing Showcase presented by Taylor Harris Insurance Services, and it was Phillip Dutton and Denim who walked away with the $100,000 win.

A brand new four-star test caused early drama. Rails reshuffled the leaderboard. And Jay Hambly's cross-country track built pressure right to the final rider.

Nicole Brown and Annie Bishop review the action from Aiken, from Humble Glory's podium climb to Elisa Wallace's statement performance, and what this result means as the road to Kentucky begins.

Plus, Annie chat's with Phillip on his Showcase win and what it means for the rest of the season.
